Manhasset board approves personnel schedule and consent agenda, appoints hearing officer

The Manhasset Union Free School District Board of Education on Jan. 29 approved its personnel schedule and a consent agenda that included a stipulation of settlement, the appointment of an impartial hearing officer for SED case number 513388, an agreement with a labor, education and community services agency and a cross-contract with Eastern Suffolk BOCES for a bid on doors.

Board President Mr. Post called for and held votes on routine business. The motion to approve the personnel schedule passed by a 5-0 vote. The consent agenda, which packaged several items for a single vote, also passed 5-0.

During his superintendent's report, Dr. Beliteri thanked grounds, custodial and security staff for their work after the recent storm, saying, "They did an incredible job on our, driveways, sidewalks, things like that." Board members also acknowledged ongoing transportation delays and heating issues at Shelter Rock.

The consent agenda covered several administrative matters rather than new policy: a stipulation of settlement agreement (details not specified in the public discussion), the impartial hearing officer appointment for SED case 513388, an agreement described as with a labor, education and community services agency, and a cross-contract with Eastern Suffolk BOCES for a bid related to doors. The board did not discuss each item individually during public session before approving the consent agenda.

The board adjourned the public portion of the meeting after a brief public comment period.
