Summary
The Eastchester board approved access to a 403(b) provider list through Jan. 31, 2025, with an updated provider list effective Feb. 1, 2025; the board also approved the consent agenda (items 12–15) with one abstention.
The Eastchester Union Free School District board approved a motion to grant district employees access to a 403(b) plan provider list through Jan. 31, 2025, and to adopt an authorized investment provider list effective Feb. 1, 2025. The motion was offered by board member Sean and seconded by board member Rob; the chair called for the question and said, “All in favor,” after which the motion was recorded as approved.
Motion text (as read into the record): “Be it resolved that the Board of Education, upon recommendation of the superintendent, hereby approves the access of 403(b) eligibility to the attached provider list through 01/31/25 and grandfathering all employees enrolled prior to 01/31/25 for the length of their employment and be it further resolved, approves the authorized investment provider list moving forward also attached effective 02/01/2025.”
Later in the meeting the board approved the consent agenda, which listed: 12) Committee on Preschool Special Education recommendations; 13) Business Office recommendations; 14) Board policies; and 15) Other business. A board member moved the consent agenda and a second was recorded as Jackie. The chair announced the motion carried “with 1 abstention.” The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally for the consent agenda or the name of the abstaining voter.
What the record shows and does not show: minutes capture the motion language for the 403(b) action and note that the vote was taken with the chair saying “All in favor.” The consent agenda items were listed on the record and the chair announced approval with one abstention; no formal numeric tally or named roll call for yes/no/abstain was provided in the transcript excerpt.
Next steps: The 403(b) provider access and the authorized provider list will be implemented consistent with the dates stated in the motion (access through Jan. 31, 2025; provider list effective Feb. 1, 2025). The consent agenda items become board action items as approved; individual items in the consent list were not debated at this meeting, per the transcript.
