East Meadow board adopts NYSED‑mandated extreme‑heat policy
Summary
The East Meadow Union Free School District board unanimously approved Policy 81‑13 (Extreme heat condition days) after a second reading; the policy is mandated by the New York State Department of Education and will be added to the district policy manual.
The East Meadow Union Free School District board unanimously approved Policy 81‑13, a New York State Department of Education–mandated policy on extreme heat condition days, after a second reading and a 7–0 vote.
Board members heard the policy in a second reading and were told the measure "outlines the actions the district will take on days when we have extreme heat conditions," said Mr. Russo, who presented the item. When asked whether any changes had been made since the first reading, Mr. Russo replied, "No changes." The motion to adopt the policy was moved by Ms. Fernandez and seconded by Ms. Taluto; the board voted 7–0 in favor.
The policy is procedural and will be added to the district's policy manual upon adoption. The board did not discuss specific operational details or alterations during the meeting; the presenter described the item as a new, NYSED‑mandated policy. The board's unanimous vote means the district will proceed with implementing the policy as written and adding it to its manual.
The action follows the board's regular agenda process: a second reading, an opportunity for trustees to ask questions, then a formal motion and vote. The board did not record further amendments or an instruction to return with implementation details during this meeting.
