East Meadow board approves minutes, calendar, consent agendas and personnel in unanimous votes
Summary
At its meeting the East Meadow Union Free School District board approved multiple routine items — including two sets of minutes, a revised 2025–26 calendar, curriculum and personnel consent agendas, and business items — and heard district announcements about combination locks, a cell‑phone policy letter, and an ELA chair appointment; all motions passed 7–0.
The East Meadow Union Free School District board approved a series of routine agenda items and heard a set of district announcements during a meeting that concluded with unanimous votes on each motion.
The board approved two sets of minutes from July 1, 2025 (first motion moved by Miss DeLuca, seconded by Miss Locastro; second motion moved by Miss Whitman, seconded by Mister Carl), each recorded as approved 7–0. The board also approved a revised 2025–26 school calendar after a motion by Miss DeLuca and a second by Miss LaCastro; trustees were told the printed district calendar already reflects the change.
Consent items moved in blocks: curriculum and instruction items E1–E2, personnel items F1–F17, and business items G1–G8 were each approved by voice vote, each action announced as 7–0. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn (mover: Ms. Lacazio; second: Ms. Whitman) and an announced unanimous vote to end the session.
Trustee Rosner used his remarks to announce operational changes and personnel news: the district will assume responsibility for combination locks at secondary schools (previously a PTA responsibility) and expects the locks to be in place by the first day of school, a change Rosner said had been delayed "with state funding and things that were out of our control." He also said a personalized letter outlining the board‑adopted cell‑phone policy will be mailed to families and urged questions be directed to Dave Spinnato. Rosner congratulated Britney Schneiderman on her appointment as chairperson for ELA (English and social studies) at East Meadow High School; Mr. Brennan was present to support her.
All formal motions and votes recorded during the meeting were unanimous as documented by the chair's roll calls or voice tallies; the board did not conduct an executive session.
