Kings Park, N.Y. — The Kings Park Central School District Board of Education approved a series of consent and routine items at the July 1 meeting, including annual appointments, personnel hires, participation in a state data‑privacy consortium and several vendor and contract approvals.
Key approvals: the board approved two related consent agendas covering roughly two dozen annual appointments and organizational resolutions (district clerk, treasurer, bond counsel, impartial hearing officers and other standard designations). Personnel schedule number 1 was approved, confirming two named appointments: Michelle Vanzelli as assistant principal at William T. Rogers Middle School and Sasha (last name not specified on the public record) as Italian teacher at Kings Park High School.
Data privacy: Dr. Kharzali presented two resolutions under Education Law 2‑d to (1) join the New York State Student Data Privacy Consortium and (2) authorize BOCES to work with vendors to produce compliant data privacy agreements; the board approved both motions and authorized designated administrators (Dr. Ralph Barzano and/or Dr. Noah Moreno) to e‑sign agreements for the 2025–2026 school year, with individual agreements still subject to final board review.
Food service and vendors: the board accepted the recommendation to add verified new vendors to the district vendor list and approved a food service management company contract (identified in the record as "Winston") for 2025–2026; per the read record the maximum reimbursement figures for meal claim purposes were stated during the motion.
Special education and hearing officers: the board approved listed IEPs covering dates Jan.–Jun. 2025 and appointed Jean Keith as an impartial hearing officer, citing the Commissioner of Education regulation (Section 200.2(e)) that governs impartial hearing officer appointment and timelines.
Announcements and recognition: the board welcomed the newly appointed student ex officio member Valentina Guzzurro and recognized Deputy Superintendent Dr. Ralph Cardesano on his upcoming retirement; a resolution from the Kings Park Classroom Teachers Association honoring Dr. Cardesano’s 37‑year career was read during public comment and accepted by the board.
Procedure: motions on consent items were made, seconded and carried by voice votes unless otherwise noted in the record. Individual roll‑call votes were not read aloud for each item in the portions of the public record provided.
