Levittown board postpones BOCES administrative-vote to April 28; appoints new Abby Lane principal
Summary
Trustees voted to postpone the district’s required administrative vote on the BOCES budget to a special meeting April 28, approved budget transfers and a consent agenda, adopted revised policies, and appointed Andrea Ferrari as principal of Abby Lane Elementary; votes were announced as unanimous in the public record but individual roll-call votes were not read aloud in the transcript.
The Levittown Board of Education on April 22 moved several routine but consequential items: trustees postponed the required administrative vote on the BOCES (component-district) budget to a special meeting April 28, approved budget transfers and consent-agenda items, adopted a batch of revised policies after committee and legal review, and appointed Andrea Ferrari as the new principal of Abby Lane Elementary School.
President Lang opened the motions on routine business and called for votes. On the BOCES administrative vote, the board approved a motion to postpone the item to a special meeting on April 28 so the district can gather needed materials and complete the required vote in a short special session.
The business office presented item 5.2 for a budget transfer and the board approved the request and a set of consent items (items listed on the agenda as 6.2–6.12). Miss Kadis announced the personnel action: "the board did proudly appoint Miss Andrea Ferrari as the new principal of Abby Lane Elementary School." Meeting remarks note Ferrari joined the district in 2019 and served as assistant principal before the appointment.
Trustees also completed second readings and adopted a group of revised policies after committee work and attorney review. The transcript records the board’s public confirmations as "All in favor? All of us" for several votes; individual member votes were not read into the record in the provided transcript.
Why it matters: postponing the BOCES administrative-vote shifts the formal timeline for a required county/regional action and requires trustees to convene an extra short meeting April 28. The principal appointment completes a personnel transition at Abby Lane Elementary and adopted policy changes reflect ongoing committee review and attorney input.
What’s next: the district will post the special-meeting time for April 28 and process the BOCES administrative vote at that session; administration will implement the appointment and the policy changes as recorded in board minutes.
