Center Moriches board grants tenure to four staff, accepts donations and honors retirees
Summary
The board approved tenure for four educators, accepted two donations totaling $1,100, approved May financial reports and the consent agenda, and recognized retirees and award recipients at the June 12 meeting.
At its June 12 meeting the Board of Education of the CENTER MORICHES UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT approved tenure appointments for four staff members, accepted two donations, approved financial reports and the consent agenda, and recognized multiple retirees and award recipients.
The board approved, upon the superintendent’s recommendation (S2), tenure appointments for Courtney Fabian, Elizabeth Muller, Sarah Reisenberg and Jennifer Bolger. The superintendent introduced each candidate and deferred to building administrators for further remarks. Dennis Ritchie (S4) praised Elizabeth Muller’s classroom leadership, and Melissa (S6) described Jenny Bolger’s leadership on the sixth‑grade team. The board moved, seconded and called for the vote; the recommendation was approved during the meeting.
The board also approved the May internal claims report (presented as the financial report) and accepted two donations: $600 from the PTO to fund supplies for a DEI cultural event and $500 from the Southbank Association of School Business Officials for scholarships. Each item was moved, seconded and approved; the minutes record the motions as carrying unanimously.
During the meeting the board presented long‑service recognitions for staff with 20–30+ years of service across elementary and secondary programs and announced the district paraprofessional of the year, identified in the transcript as Jill Goeth/Goedek. The superintendent noted a reception and refreshments for honorees after the meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda items 11a through 16b and then returned to the superintendent’s report and a strategic‑plan presentation. The meeting concluded with announcements about the next meeting (reorganization and regular meeting on July 1, 2024) and a motion to adjourn.
Note on transcript spellings: the transcript contains inconsistent spellings for several names referenced during retiree recognition (for example, multiple variations appear for a 30‑year social studies teacher). The article uses names explicitly read into the record for tenure and donations and avoids assigning uncertain last names where the record is inconsistent.
