Brentwood board approves consent agenda, personnel actions and a resolution opposing charter schools
Summary
During a March 19 business meeting the Brentwood Board approved routine consent items and personnel actions by voice vote, adopted a resolution urging NISBA to seek local‑voter approval for charter applications, and set the district’s legal notice and schedule for the May 7 budget hearing and May 19 budget vote/election.
The Brentwood Union Free School District Board of Education approved routine consent and personnel items and adopted a substantive policy resolution at its March 19 business meeting.
By voice vote, the board approved consent agendas B1A–B1N and B2A–B2O and certified C1A and C1B (motions recorded as moved by Brandon Garcia, Cindy Safary and others; voice votes rather than roll calls). The board approved certificated and non‑certificated personnel reports and extended the probationary appointment of a named probationary employee through Sept. 4, 2027 via a letter agreement executed March 17, 2026.
On a separate motion, the board adopted D1C, a resolution opposing charter schools and directing NISBA (the Nassau/Suffolk School Boards Association is named in the resolution text) to advocate for legislation that would require all charter applications to be approved by local voters before submission to the state chartering entity. The motion on D1C was recorded as made by Brandon Garcia and seconded by Eileen Harmon; the transcript records the item as approved by voice vote.
The board also approved a legal notice (D1E) setting a public hearing on the proposed district budget for May 7, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. and scheduled the annual district vote and election for Tuesday, May 19, 2026, with polls open 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.; the notice lists the Anthony F. Felicio Administration Center as the location for the budget hearing and describes where copies of the budget statement will be posted.
The transcript records voice‑vote approvals and the names of members who moved and seconded several items, but it does not include roll‑call vote tallies or attendance‑by‑name for each motion. The meeting adjourned at 9:16 p.m.
