The West Irondequoit Central School District Board of Education on Dec. 19 approved a series of routine motions including the meeting agenda, prior meeting minutes, the November 30 financial statements, a personnel slate and multiple stipend items.
Board presiding member Mr. Sullivan called for approval of the agenda; the motion was moved and recorded in the transcript as "Motion carried 6 0." The board similarly approved the minutes of Nov. 21 and Dec. 5 after Mr. Guy moved the minutes and Miss Ford seconded; the clerk recorded the vote as "Motion carries 6 0." Treasurer/finance remarks by Fred preceded approval of the 11/30 financial statements, which the board adopted by voice vote recorded as 6 0.
On personnel, the board approved a slate that included certified retirements, resignations and multiple appointments for teaching assistants, classified staff, a district registrar and extracurricular volunteers. Board members noted a typographical error on the listed effective date for retirements (items listed as 06/30/2024 that should read 06/30/2025) and directed staff to correct the record; the personnel motion passed 6 0.
Stipends for winter coaches and extracurricular activities were presented as unchanged from first readings and were approved on unanimous recorded voice votes.
A curriculum motion to approve a new course, Real World Communications (replacing the prior Public Speaking offering), was moved by Mr. Schoppel and passed with the transcript recording "Motion passes 6 0."
The consent agenda, covering committee recommendations (including the Committee on Special Education), surplus furniture and equipment and a revised 2024/25 school calendar, was approved in a single motion. The clerk recorded that vote as "Motion carries 6 to 11," an apparent transcript inconsistency; the board did not raise a contemporaneous challenge on the public record, and the clerk's official minutes should be consulted for the authoritative tally.
Next steps: items approved under the consent agenda will proceed as listed; where clerical or date errors were identified, staff will correct the administrative record.
