Mineola board authorizes regional data‑privacy agreements, approves routine policies and appointments
Summary
At its May 19 meeting the Mineola Union Free School District Board approved authorization to use DPAs negotiated by a regional ROC, waived a second reading to adopt revised policies, appointed an election inspector and approved several personnel items including a special‑education supervisor hire.
Cheryl Lampersono, president of the Mineola Union Free School District Board of Education, led a routine May 19 meeting that included multiple votes to authorize vendor data‑privacy agreements, adopt revised policies and confirm personnel appointments.
The board passed Resolution 102 to waive a second formal reading and adopt revised board policies and regulations, including a date change to July 1 for Policy 1620 (annual organizational meeting). Lampersono read the resolution and the board approved it by voice vote.
The board then approved Resolution 103, which authorizes the district to accept data‑privacy agreements (DPAs) negotiated by its regional information/Risk Operations Center (ROC) for the 2026–27 fiscal year. The resolution, read and introduced at the meeting, references compliance with New York State Education Law section 2‑d and related Part 121 regulations concerning student personally identifiable information and certain educator data. The board’s action authorizes use of DPAs negotiated by the ROC while reserving to the board the right to review and consult with district counsel before final execution of any specific agreement.
A walk‑on item, Resolution 106, appointed Loretta Helmick as an election inspector under the New York State Education Law citation read at the meeting; the board discussed a shortfall of poll workers and the need for extra hands to process ballots after 9 p.m. The motion was seconded and approved.
The board approved the consensus agenda (Resolution 104), which included program appointments and personnel items. During that discussion the board announced the appointment of Daniel Giglio Bianco (as reported on the meeting agenda) as supervisor of special education, a selection the interview committee recommended unanimously.
All votes were approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript. The board also noted that a special meeting will be held after ballots are counted for a separate vote. No public commenters were signed up for this meeting.
Meeting materials and the district website will hold the adopted policies and additional details about personnel items and agreements. The board indicated it will continue to consult legal counsel on specific DPAs before execution.
