Board approves personnel items, consent agenda and a ukulele donation; announces retirements
Summary
The East Islip board approved certified and non‑certified personnel packets, an administrator agreement effective 06/30/2025, consent agenda items 8.2–8.14, accepted a donation of 60 ukuleles for elementary students, approved appropriation changes, and announced two retirements.
During routine business the board recorded several motions and voice votes. The board approved certified personnel actions (resignations, appointments, leaves, tenure and salary changes) on a motion and second with a voice vote; one abstention was recorded.
The board also approved non‑certified personnel items and an agreement with a member of the East Islip Association of School Administrators, effective June 30, 2025. Consent agenda items 8.2 through 8.14 were approved without removals. The board accepted a donation of 60 ukuleles for JFK and RCK elementary students (approximate value $5,000) from an organization transcribed in the record as 'EIMAPS'/'EIMS' (donor name inconsistent in the transcript). The board approved appropriation changes for the 2024–25 school year as presented.
The board recognized two forthcoming retirements: Harold Kench, a middle‑school technology teacher retiring in June, and Mark Bernard, high‑school principal, also retiring in June after long service to the district.
Most items were approved by motion, second and voice vote; the transcript records verbal 'Aye' responses but does not include a roll‑call or formal tally with member names for each vote.
