Hastings-on-Hudson school board installs officers, appoints district clerk and adopts meeting calendar
Summary
At its July 9 organizational meeting the Hastings-on-Hudson Board of Education swore in officers, approved a consent agenda and adopted the district’s 2024–25 meeting calendar; trustees also scheduled a building walkthrough and planned a special meeting to resolve urgent bid awards.
The Hastings-on-Hudson Union Free School District Board of Education completed its July 9 organizational business by swearing in officers, appointing a district clerk and adopting the board calendar for the 2024–25 school year.
Sylvia Robles was nominated and approved as vice president of the board; she then recited the oath of office, saying, “I, Sylvia Robles, do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of The United States and the constitution of the state of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of vice president of the board of trustees, Hastings On Hudson Union Free School District,” and was recorded as sworn in.
The board also approved a resolution to appoint a district clerk and administered the oath to the appointee. Trustees moved and seconded the consent agenda, which covered routine appointments and recurring contracts (items 2 through 50), and voted to approve it without removals.
Administrators told trustees that a building walkthrough is scheduled for Aug. 27 and emphasized the need to have a quorum for that visit. The board adopted a schedule of monthly meetings and agreed to build recurring construction and finance updates into the year’s agenda.
Several procedural motions were taken without extended debate: the board adjourned the organizational meeting, then convened the first regular meeting of the new year and completed votes on business items 1–8, including personnel and placement services. Where a named roll call was not recorded in the transcript, approvals were recorded as passed during the meeting’s verbal votes.
The meeting closed after a brief round of board comments and a motion to adjourn.
