Wyandanch board adopts agenda, moves into executive session for second round of superintendent interviews

The Wyandanch Union Free School District Board of Education adopted its meeting agenda and moved into executive session to hold a second round of superintendent interviews during a special session called by Board President Leticia Walker.

President Leticia Walker called the special session to order at 5:26 p.m. and welcomed the public, saying the meeting continues the search for a new superintendent. Walker noted the panel had interviewed three candidates the previous night and planned to interview three more that evening, and said, "Our goal is to make sure that our next superintendent does exactly that," referencing the district mission to inspire a passion for learning and help students achieve their full potential.

District clerk Jessica Reed conducted roll call; Walker, Vice President Shirley Baker, Trustee Kathy Corbin, Trustee Felice Holder and Trustee Jeron Morris were recorded as present with the clerk announcing the roll complete and a count of five.

A motion to adopt the night's agenda was called, and the chair announced the agenda count as five; the board adopted the agenda (vote announced as 5 in favor). Later in the session Walker announced a motion to enter executive session "to conduct the second round of interviews." Hearing no questions or objections, the chair stated the board would enter executive session at 5:28 p.m.

The board left the public portion of the meeting for the executive session; no public testimony or further substantive public discussion is recorded in the available transcript. The special session record ends as the board proceeds into closed interviews.
