The Starpoint Central School District board moved through several routine actions by voice vote during the meeting, approving the consent agenda, personnel items, a county-sick-bank request, authorization for a college-acceleration agreement with SUNY Niagara and the district reserves plan.
Key approvals recorded at the meeting (voice votes unless otherwise noted):
- Consensus agenda: approved as a block (motion, second, voice vote: "All in favor? Aye.").
- Appointments and separations: approved as a block.
- Student teacher approval: motion to approve a student-teacher placement (Natalie Brunning with Megan) — approved.

- K6: Resolution to establish a 30-day public comment period on the revised districtwide safety plan — approved (see separate article for details).
