East Islip board approves personnel recommendations, donations and appropriation changes
Summary
The board approved certified and non-certified personnel recommendations, accepted donations to JFK and Timberpoint and a SEPTA grant of $1,945.48, authorized a medical exam under Education Law §913 for a tenured employee, and approved appropriation changes for 2025–2026.
The East Islip Union Free School District board approved a series of routine personnel actions and financial items at its regular meeting.
On the superintendent’s recommendation, the board voted to approve certified personnel items — including resignations, retirements, leaves and salary adjustments — after a motion and second. The board also approved non-certified personnel items in a separate motion and vote. During recognition remarks the board acknowledged retirees including Mrs. Carolyn Hummel and Mr. Dennis Clansley.
The board passed a resolution, pursuant to Education Law section 913, directing a tenured employee (identity known to the board) to report for a medical examination to determine capacity to perform duties. The examination is scheduled with Dr. Randall Solomon at 55 Wisconsin Highway, Port Jefferson Station, NY 11776 on Feb. 23, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., as stated in the meeting materials.
The board approved the consent agenda (items 9.2–9.11) and accepted multiple donations: a package of books and school supplies from Mission B for JFK Elementary, two iPads from the EJ Autism Foundation for Timberpoint Elementary classes, and $1,945.48 from SEPTA to fund teacher grants (revenue and budget codes were read into the record). The board also approved superintendent-recommended appropriation changes for the 2025–2026 school year.
Most motions were adopted by voice vote with 'Aye' recorded; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally for individual board members. The medical-examination directive and personnel approvals were recorded as formal board actions.
