Summary
At the Dec. 3 meeting the Board approved consent agenda items (4.1–4.3), a scholarship amendment (5.1), personnel actions (6.1–6.9), and took a first reading of a Title IX harassment/grievance policy; the board recorded virtual member Rob voting in favor on roll calls and scheduled executive-session inclusion for remote participation.
The Ossining Board of Education took several formal actions during its Dec. 3 meeting.
The board approved consent-agenda resolutions 4.1 through 4.3 (appointing an additional consultant for the 2025–26 school year; approving a memorandum of understanding with New York State mentoring/MBK program at the high school; and denying a grievance). The motion passed on a roll-call vote with in‑person members indicating "Aye" and remote member Rob raising his hand to indicate an in‑favor vote; the president read Rob's virtual vote into the record.
The board approved resolution 5.1 concerning acceptance of an amendment to the Class of 1971 award scholarship; again the virtual board member registered an in‑favor vote. A package of personnel resolutions (6.1 through 6.9) covering administrative and civil‑service staff terminations and appointments, resignations, support‑staff appointments, bus attendant resignations and approval of school volunteers was adopted as moved and seconded; the record again showed the virtual board member voting in favor.
Trustees took a first reading of policy 01111 (Title IX harassment/grievance policy) as updated by district counsel to align with federal changes; the policy will return for a subsequent vote. The board then voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters and arranged to include the remote board member in the executive session by phone.
Motion details (public record): the meeting transcript records motions as moved/seconded in the room but does not name individual movers on the record for every consent vote. Where a remote roll-call was needed, the president announced the virtual member's vote. No motions failed.
