At its Dec. 8 meeting the White Plains Board of Education approved several personnel and program actions brought forward in the meeting backup and by motion.

The motions passed by voice vote with trustees responding “Aye.”
The board also approved the creation of a White Plains High School varsity ski team for the 2025–26 winter season, to be coached by Patrick Clark at no cost to the White Plains City School District. The motion carried by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a request under the CSCA contract to extend paid in‑line‑of‑duty leave for three district employees identified in the meeting materials; that motion also passed by voice vote.
