Board approves retroactive summer tech‑ed pay and consensus agenda; votes to enter executive session on negotiations
Summary
The Mineola board approved Resolution 50 to retroactively compensate a summer technology‑education teacher, passed the consent agenda (Resolution 51), and voted to enter executive session to discuss teacher and teacher‑aid negotiations; recorded tallies were noted verbally but not itemized in the transcript.
At its Dec. 4 meeting the Mineola Union Free School District Board of Education approved personnel and consent items and voted to enter executive session for negotiations.
Under Resolution 50 the board approved a request to make a summer tech‑ed teacher's appointment retroactive to July 1, 2025 so the teacher can be paid for the summer assignment. Trustee Margaret Ballantine moved the resolution and Patrick Tolte seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote; trustees responded "Aye," but a numerical roll call or tally was not specified in the public transcript.
The board then approved Resolution 51, the consensus agenda (items J1A–J4B2). Trustee Stacy DeSilas moved the motion and it was seconded by Morgan; trustees asked a few clarifying questions about winter guard travel, bus mileage and connected logistics before approving the consent agenda by voice vote.
Later in the meeting Superintendent Michael Naglas said the board needed to discuss teacher and teacher‑aid negotiations in executive session. Trustee Patrick Tolte moved to enter executive session and Stacy DeSilas seconded; the motion carried by voice vote and the board adjourned to executive session. The board scheduled its next public meeting for Dec. 18.
The transcript does not contain roll‑call vote totals for these approvals; the public record in the minutes should be consulted for a certified tally.
