Transcript shows district citing a court-position to decline regionalization participation; no vote recorded

Speaker 1 (role not specified) read language in the meeting record indicating the district is relying on a referenced filing to assert that a regionalization rule is optional and that the Mount Sinai district will not participate in regionalization efforts.

The transcript records the phrasing that the district "shall not participate in, be included in, or be" part of regionalization efforts. The source referenced in the transcript is rendered as "NYSEAN's"; the meeting text links that reference to a court filing or statement but does not supply a statute, ordinance, or formal citation.

The meeting record contains no identification of a mover, seconder, roll-call, or recorded outcome for this statement. Because the transcript does not show a formal vote or adopted resolution, this account reports the text that was read and notes the lack of recorded action.

If the board chooses to pursue a formal resolution to adopt or codify an opt-out position, the transcript does not capture that motion or any subsequent vote; further public records or subsequent meeting minutes would be needed to confirm a formal board decision.
