Hampton Bays board approves agenda, honors students and hears brief trades-pipeline proposal

The Hampton Bays Union Free School District Board of Education met Oct. 21, 2025, and approved the night’s agenda and the clerk’s report by unanimous voice votes, the presiding speaker said.

The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and a performance of the national anthem by an unidentified guest. After routine procedural motions to adopt the agenda and accept the clerk’s report — each made, seconded and approved by voice vote — the board invited public comments on agenda items and reported there were none at that time.

The board recognized students of the month, calling forward students identified in the meeting as “Mister Beyer,” “Mister Meyer” and “Mister Carlson” as part of the recognition; a student performance was included during the segment. No additional details about the students’ schools or awards were provided in the transcript.

Later in the meeting the presiding speaker described a proposed workforce-development partnership, saying "Southern Energy Business Alliance was really interested in in cultivating a pipeline for the building trades, carpentry, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and, welding." According to the speaker, the effort is framed as a three-way partnership involving high schools on the East End, "Southampton University," and representatives from Suffolk; the transcript cuts off before that explanation was completed and no formal action or funding details were presented.

The board did not take further action on the partnership during the recorded segments. The meeting proceeded to subsequent agenda items after the remarks.
