Board confirms Sarah Kenny as director of special education; consent agenda and two consultant contracts approved
Summary
The board approved the superintendent's recommended appointment of Sarah Kenny as director of special education (instructional action 4.1), approved non‑instructional recommendations, adopted the consent agenda (5.1–5.16), and acknowledged two superintendent‑approved contracts (Westchester Behavior Consultants; Dr. Natalie Kerr keynote).
At the May 6 meeting the board approved the superintendent's recommended instructional action (4.1), confirming Sarah Kenny as director of special education and Section 504 services. An administrator introduced Kenny, who thanked the board: "I am just extremely honored and grateful to continue my work in the district."
The superintendent then moved the non‑instructional recommendations (4.2); both instructional and non‑instructional items were seconded and approved by voice vote. Board members congratulated Kenny following the vote.
The board approved routine business by a single motion adopting the consent agenda covering items 5.1–5.16, which included CSE summaries, merged team approvals for athletics (ice hockey, gymnastics), and three small landscaping/garden project plans for middle‑school courtyards.
Under purchasing and bidding policy, the board acknowledged two superintendent‑approved contracts: an agreement with Dr. Kimberly Mosca of Westchester Behavior Consultants for the 2025–26 school year (6.1) and an agreement with Dr. Natalie Kerr for a keynote address in 2026–27 (6.2). Both acknowledgements were moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote. The meeting concluded with a reminder that the school budget vote and election is on May 19 and the board adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
