East Rockaway board approves $28.63 million Nassau BOCES administrative budget, casts nominations
Loading...
Summary
The East Rockaway Board of Education approved Nassau BOCES' 2026–27 administrative operations budget of $28,633,061 and authorized ballots for three nominated candidates; both resolutions passed by voice vote at the April 28 meeting.
The East Rockaway Board of Education voted to approve the Nassau Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) proposed administrative operations budget for 2026–27 in the amount of $28,633,061 and authorized the district clerk to execute the ballot and clerk certificate, the board announced at its April 28 meeting.
Board President McNally put resolution 3a before the board and called for a motion. "Motion by Mrs. Salufo," the record shows, followed by a second from Mrs. Doyle. The chair asked, "All in favor?" and members responded "Aye." The chair stated the motion was approved; no roll‑call tally of individual votes was provided in the public record.
Under resolution 3b the board elected to cast its three allotted votes for the Nassau BOCES board vacancies for the candidates listed in the resolution: Deborah Coats, Lawrence Freenstein and Douglas Pasquerella. The resolution authorized the district clerk to cast one ballot for each named individual. That motion also carried by voice vote after a motion by Mrs. Doyle and a second by Mrs. Salufo.
Both actions were taken as part of routine business; the board did not amend the BOCES budget amount on the floor. The meeting record does not provide a roll‑call tally or list of nay votes; the chair recorded the motions as approved.
Next steps: the district clerk will file the ballot and certificate with Nassau BOCES as authorized.
