At its Jan. 6 meeting, the West Seneca Central School District Board of Education approved routine business via a consent agenda and accepted a donation, scheduled follow-up work for Jan. 20 and voted unanimously to enter executive session on a personnel matter.

Board member Jeremy moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote, 6-0. The chair noted that the consent agenda procedure allows routine matters to be enacted in a single motion.

During new business, the superintendent reported a donation of $4,197.30 from the West Seneca East Spirit Booster Club to the East Senior girls volleyball program. The motion to approve agenda item 8, which included that donation, was made and approved 6-0.

Board members also discussed an outstanding audit report discrepancy and allocated time at the Jan. 20 board work session to address it. The superintendent said she met with two board members Dec. 22 to map topics for upcoming work sessions and that Marissa, the athletic director, will join the Jan. 20 meeting to discuss athletic fees.

Near the end of the public meeting, a motion was made and seconded to enter an executive session "to discuss the employment of an individual." The board approved the motion 6-0; the chair said no further public business would be conducted after the executive session.
