Summary

At its Nov. 24 meeting the SEWANHAKA board approved minutes, an appointment to the Nassau County budget review committee, curriculum and finance consent items, personnel items, SEDCAR contracts, CSC recommendations, and legal resolutions; the credit card policy was presented for first review.

The SEWANHAKA CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Board of Education approved a package of routine motions and appointments at its Nov. 24 meeting, including approval of prior meeting minutes, an appointment to a Nassau County budget review committee, curriculum and finance consent items, personnel actions, SEDCAR contracts and legal resolutions. A proposed credit card policy was placed on the agenda for a first review and not voted on.

Why it matters: The votes complete several administrative steps that allow the district to proceed with budgeting, personnel actions and vendor contracts ahead of the winter break.

Key votes and outcomes recorded in the transcript: • Approval of the Oct. 28, 2025 regular meeting minutes — motion moved by Miss Peltonin, seconded by Miss O'Donohue; voice vote 'Aye' and motion carries. • Appointment of Lynette Battle to the Nassau County budget review committee — motion moved and seconded (second recorded as Miss O'Donohue); motion carried. • Curriculum items (a–l) — moved by Mister Edin, seconded by Miss Capers; approved by voice vote. • Finance and operations items (a–h) — moved by Miss Capers, seconded by Miss O'Donoghue; approved by voice vote. • Personnel items (a and b) — moved and seconded (second recorded as Mister Toto); approved by voice vote. • Approval of SEDCAR contracts — moved by Miss Battle, seconded by Mister Redden; approved by voice vote. • CSC recommendations — moved and seconded; approved by voice vote. • Legal items (a–d) and purchasing policy — moved by Mister Redden, seconded by Miss O'Donohue; approved by voice vote. Item e (credit card policy) was listed for first review only.

The transcript records voice votes for each motion with the board chair asking "All in favor?" and members responding 'Aye.' Where movers and seconders are identified in the transcript, those names are recorded above; where the transcript did not clearly capture the mover, the record lists the motion and the vote outcome but leaves mover unspecified.

What's next: The credit card policy will return for a future vote after review. The board announced its next regular meeting for Dec. 16 at Frank Carey High School.
