The East Rockaway board voted on multiple routine and non-routine items March 24: the board authorized up to $1.66 million from capital reserves for roof and HVAC work at the junior–senior high school, passed a charter-school resolution advocating local voter approval for charter applications, and adopted four policies listed on the agenda.
At its March 24 meeting, the East Rockaway Union Free School District board unanimously moved a series of agenda items including a voter proposition (Proposition No. 2) to use capital-reserve funds for building improvements, a charter-school resolution and several policy adoptions.
Proposition No. 2: The board approved a resolution authorizing up to $1.66 million from existing capital reserves to fund slate-roof replacement, waterproofing, decorative wood-column repairs, painting and HVAC reconstruction at the East Rockaway Junior Senior High School. The superintendent emphasized that the funds would come from existing reserves and would not increase the tax levy; any unused funds would be returned to the capital reserve.
