Board chair moves Suffern Central School District into executive session to review superintendent evaluation

The board chair called the Suffern Central School District Board of Education to order Tuesday evening and moved the meeting into an executive session to review the midyear portion of the superintendent’s annual evaluation, saying the public meeting would resume at 7:30 p.m.

The action was presented by the chair as a procedural motion to meet with the superintendent to discuss the evaluation. The chair asked for a motion, which was made and recognized on the record; Mr. Kern was named during the exchange as the member associated with the motion and Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Frazier were identified in the discussion of the second. The chair then called for those in favor to signify by saying "aye," and the board recessed to executive session.

The chair also noted that all board members were present except for Mr. Paul Shapiro. No formal vote tally or further discussion of the superintendent's performance appears in the public record for this meeting; the board announced it would return to public session at 7:30 p.m.

The board took no other public actions in the minutes provided here before adjourning to executive session.
