Board completes swearing-in and elects officers during reorganization
Summary
Newly elected members and the superintendent were sworn into office; the board voted to elect Sarah Fitzgerald as president and Rebecca Cohen as vice president by voice/raise-hand vote. The board approved the revised agenda and several routine appointments and authorizations.
The meeting opened with the oath of office for newly elected board members and the superintendent. Multiple members repeated the sworn oath to support the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution and to faithfully discharge the duties of their office.
Following the oath, the board moved to nomination and election of officers. A motion to close nominations and cast a vote elected Sarah Fitzgerald as board president (vote described as eight in favor during the roll call) and Rebecca Cohen as vice president (vote reported as nine in favor). The board then approved a revised meeting agenda and proceeded with routine appointments and authorizations presented under consent items.
Several sets of minutes from May and June meetings were approved with some members recorded as abstaining on specific items. The board also set goals for 2025–26 and accepted committee lists and assignments.
The board later moved into executive session on several personnel, bargaining and legal matters and approved multiple consent items before adjourning.
