Eldred board approves consent agenda, elects Area 9 director and schedules personnel action; athletic-trainer pay language amended
Summary
The Eldred board approved the consent agenda (items 6.011–9.06) with an amendment removing 2024–25 athletic-trainer 'as needed' language; the board moved to elect John Burns as Area 9 Director and accepted a social-worker appointment, and voted to enter executive session on personnel while canceling the Dec. 12 meeting.
The Eldred Central School District board approved its consent agenda covering routine items and personnel actions after brief discussion and amendment.
The board first moved to elect John Burns as the Area 9 Director for the New York State School Boards Association. Board members introduced two candidates (John Williams and John Burns); the motion to elect Burns was made and seconded and the chair called the vote. The transcript records the motion as made by a member identified in the record as Nancy and seconded by Stacy; the roll-call detail is not fully recorded in the transcript, but the assembly responded with aye votes.
Board members also approved routine consent-agenda items numbered 6.011 through 9.06 (motion by Stacy, second by Yep). Item 8.07 (athletic-trainer payment language for the 2024–25 school year) was discussed separately: members asked whether paying athletic trainers for some away games should become a recurring, budgeted expense and whether it should be applied consistently across sports. The board agreed to remove the 'as needed' language for the 2024–25 school year (item 8.07 was excluded/amended from the consent approval) and said they will revisit athletic-trainer coverage criteria and budgeting.
The board approved the appointment of a new social worker (transcript name spelled as Kylie Livich in one place and as 'Kailovich' in another); the appointee is expected to start Jan. 2 and a contingency plan for ongoing counseling and testing coverage was described by Ms. Ferrer.
Finally, the board voted to enter executive session on personnel (motion by Stacy, second by Nancy); the chair said he did not expect business to be conducted after executive session and announced the December 12, 2024, board meeting would be canceled.
