At its public meeting, the Mineola Union Free School District board approved two items brought before the body and recessed into executive session to discuss possible litigation.
The board considered Resolution 35, described as the consensus agenda covering items J1a through J4c4. A motion to approve was made (identified in the record by the single name "Cheryl") and seconded by Trustee Patrick Tolte. The chair called for a voice vote; those present answered "Aye," and the chair announced that Resolution 35 passed.
A walk-on item, Resolution 36, proposed approval of an agreement dated 12/12/2024 with an employee whose identity was said to be known to the board; the resolution authorized the board president and the superintendent to execute the agreement. The motion was moved and seconded on the record and was approved by voice vote after the chair said the terms could not be discussed in public.
Near the end of the meeting a board member requested an executive session to discuss possible litigation. The board made and seconded the motion and approved the motion by voice vote; the meeting recessed for executive session.
The audio record shows voice votes recorded as "Aye" for the listed motions but does not include a roll-call vote or a full tally with names for the public record. When votes or mover/second identities were not stated in the transcript beyond a first name, this article uses the names exactly as they appear in the public record rather than assigning roles not present in the transcript.
The board also heard routine reports, a student-organization presentation and a detailed literacy-assessment presentation from district instructional staff earlier in the meeting.
