Baldwin board approves personnel actions, union memoranda and settlement authorization
Summary
The Baldwin Union Free School District Board approved personnel actions, special‑education service reports, a class donation, policies on student records and data protection, memoranda of agreement with employee groups, and authorized a settlement in a pending lawsuit.
At its Nov. 12 meeting the Board of Education of the Baldwin Union Free School District approved multiple routine and substantive administrative items, including personnel actions, special‑education service recommendations, facility reports, adoption of several policies and memoranda of agreement with employee units, and authorized the district’s attorneys to finalize a settlement in a pending court action.
Board leadership moved and the board approved the personnel actions report dated Nov. 12, 2025, as presented. The board also approved recommendations from the Committee on Special Education and the preschool special‑education committee for August–October 2025 and accepted the home‑tutoring and special‑education service reports.
The board accepted a donation from the Class of 2025 for a bench to be placed in the Baldwin High School courtyard, and approved budget transfers greater than $10,000 covering the period beginning Sept. 1, 2025. The board approved an updated facilities‑use report for July 2024–June 2025.
On policy matters the board adopted revisions that include a student‑records policy and recognized a Data Protection Officer (DPO) role to oversee contracts with vendors that handle student data and to ensure specified security protocols and breach‑response processes are in place. A board member summarized DPO responsibilities as ensuring district contracts with vendors like I Ready and other vendors meet security standards.
The board approved memoranda of agreement reached with the Civil Service Employees Association (operations and maintenance unit) and with the Baldwin Teachers Association covering a child‑care lead position, authorized necessary expenditures and empowered the superintendent and board officers to execute the agreements. The board also authorized a settlement agreement and release for a lawsuit pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (county and index number referenced in the mailing but not specified verbally) and authorized district counsel to file any required documents to discontinue the action upon settlement.
