Sayville Board approves consent items, names interim assistant superintendent and clears asset disposals
Summary
The Sayville Board approved recommended consent items including fixed-asset disposition, volunteer and personnel matters; the board introduced interim assistant superintendent Robert Bartels and moved into executive session to continue business.
The Sayville Union Free School District Board of Education approved recommended consent and new-business items during the meeting, including a fixed-asset disposal list and personnel-related motions.
The district's business office presented results of a five-year physical inventory and an exception report (received December 2024) that led to a schedule of fixed assets to be disposed of. The business office representative (Speaker 18) said items ranged from obsolete interactive whiteboards and monitors to assets that could not be located; the report reflected months of cleanup work and updates to depreciation and insurance records after recent roof replacements.
Board members discussed whether some items could be repurposed by other districts. Speaker 11 asked whether the district could make usable items available to other schools; the business office said many of the listed items are obsolete or no longer in existence and that department heads had confirmed the disposition recommendations.
The board voted to approve the recommended items (motion and second were recorded; first and second were announced at one point as "Kathy and Maureen"). After the vote the chair announced the motion had passed.
Following the approvals, Speaker 6 introduced Robert Bartels, who will serve as interim assistant superintendent for business and personnel. Bartels was described as coming from the Rockville Center School District with more than two decades of experience in business and personnel roles and experience as an interim superintendent during the COVID period.
At the meeting's conclusion, the board took a motion to enter executive session (Speaker 11 moved; Speaker 12 seconded) and the motion passed.
No detailed vote tallies were provided in the transcript for the recorded motions; the minutes record that motions passed.
