HENDRICK HUDSON, N.Y. — The Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education on Feb. 4 approved routine and governance items including a personnel revision, a donation of classroom tables, several policy actions and a resolution authorizing a settlement agreement.

Consent and donation: The board approved the meeting agenda and later voted to accept the consent agenda with a revision to personnel item 6.05. The board also accepted a donation from Tamika Dietrich of 24 classroom tables, estimated at $200 apiece, for a total value of approximately $4,800.

Settlement authorization: The board walked on and passed a resolution authorizing the superintendent to execute a settlement agreement with employee ID 1824 dated Feb. 4, 2026. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were taken in the transcript.

Policy actions: The board approved several policy measures by motion and voice vote. Notable approvals and changes included: - Policy 5030 (student complaints): second reading approved. - Policy 5130 (compulsory attendance ages): second reading approved with inclusive language. - A consolidated attendance policy renumbered to 5100 (replacing older 51xx policies): adopted and older, embedded policies were retired. - Policy 5605 (student voter registration/preregistration): required policy approved (referenced Election Law §5507). - Policy 5710 (school safety and educational climate reporting): required language added with approval.

Process notes: Several retirements and waivers of second readings were handled during the meeting; motions were routinely seconded and approved by “all in favor” voice votes as recorded in the transcript. When vote tallies were not recorded on the transcript, the meeting record shows actions carried by voice vote.
