Summary

The board approved a memorial scholarship honoring longtime employee Julie Schwartz, passed the consent agenda and moved into executive session to discuss litigation, with no further public business to follow.

The Pleasantville Board of Education approved the establishment of a memorial scholarship requested by the family of Julie Schwartz, a longtime district employee. The scholarship will be presented at the district awards ceremony; the board also said it will honor Schwartz with a moment of silence before polls open on May 19.

The board then approved the consent agenda by voice vote and moved to adjourn into executive session to discuss a litigation matter; the board indicated it would not return to conduct further official public business.

Why it matters: the scholarship institutionalizes recognition of a long-serving staff member and the executive-session motion begins a closed-door discussion of a litigation matter that the board will address outside the public meeting.
