Connetquot Central School District approves consultant agreement with Richard J. Losher

The Connetquot Central School District board approved a consultant agreement with Richard J. Losher after a motion, a second and a voice vote during a brief public meeting segment.

The vote occurred after the board reconvened and the district clerk called the roll. A presiding official asked for a motion and a second "to approve the consultant's agreement between the district and Richard J. Losher." A motion and a second were received and the presiding official conducted a voice vote; the record states "Aye. Aye. Motion carries." The meeting then included brief congratulatory remarks welcoming Mr. Losher.

The meeting transcript does not specify who made or seconded the motion, the number of board members who voted in favor, nor any financial or contract terms for the agreement. The transcript also contains inconsistent renderings of the consultant's name: the motion names "Richard J. Losher," while a later congratulation addresses him with a form resembling "Mr. Losherner." The district did not state contract value, duration, or scope in the recorded segment.

Procedural items bracketing the approval included the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment of silence for service members and a roll call. Following the approval the presiding official moved to adjourn; the motion carried by voice vote.

The record provided here is a short segment of the meeting and may not contain the full agenda, contract documents or additional discussion that occurred outside the captured transcript.
