Rye school board approves consent agenda including voting‑machine contract and PTO gift, 7–0
Summary
The Rye City School District Board of Education unanimously approved the consent agenda, including a contract for voting machines for the May 19 school budget and trustee election and a $6,000 Midland PTO gift for a fifth‑grade Sandbox Theater contract.
The Rye City School District Board of Education approved the evening’s consent agenda unanimously (7–0) on March 10.
Board Chair called for a motion and Matt Shibanoff moved the consent agenda; the motion was seconded by Sean Clapfers. Chair then announced the result: "That would be 7 to nothing."
Items explicitly mentioned in the consent package included a contract for voting machines to be used on May 19 for the school budget and trustee election (polling will take place in the middle‑school gymnasium from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.), acceptance of a $6,000 gift from the Midland PTO to support a Sandbox Theater contract for the fifth‑grade play, appointment of ESY coordinators and camp counselors, and contracts with wellness professionals to support staff wellness and professional learning.
The board did not discuss amendments to those items during the meeting. The Chair said the administration will continue to remind the community about the May 19 vote and encouraged civic participation.
