Monroe-Woodbury board adopts memorial resolution, appoints trustee and approves tenure actions
Summary
At a June 3 special meeting the Monroe-Woodbury board unanimously adopted a memorial resolution for former superintendent Terrence Olivo, approved Brian Balino as a new trustee, granted multiple tenure approvals (including two opposing votes and one abstention), and adjourned into executive session to discuss a legal matter.
The Monroe-Woodbury Central School District Board of Education on June 3 adopted a memorial resolution honoring former superintendent Terrence (Terry) Olivo, approved the appointment of Brian Balino as a school board trustee and granted several tenure recommendations, then moved into executive session to discuss a legal matter.
Dr. Hassler read the memorial resolution noting that Olivo began with the district in January 1979, served as superintendent from 1989 until his retirement in August 2004, and died May 26 at age 84. The resolution quoted Olivo’s 2004 retirement message: "Learning is a lifelong process. They should never consider themselves to be done with learning." The board voted to adopt the resolution.
The board then approved a revised agenda and moved to appoint Brian Balino as a member of the board of education; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Chris Burgerer presented recommended tenure approvals. The board approved the slate of recommended tenure employees, then considered two separately listed candidates. The board approved tenure for employee number 07182; the transcript records that two board members voted in opposition to that approval. The board also approved tenure for employee number 06573; the transcript records one abstention, which was explained by the abstaining member as "due to the spouse." The meeting record shows the motions carried in each case, but individual board member votes are not named in the public transcript.
The board also approved the canvas and resolution declaring the results of the district’s May 19, 2026 annual election, accepted the minutes of the May 6 meeting and approved routine business and financial items and special education committee items listed on the agenda.
With those items concluded, the board voted to adjourn into executive session "to discuss a legal matter," and the public portion of the special meeting ended.
What’s next: the public record for the meeting shows the formal actions described above; the board’s executive session was called for a legal discussion and no further public action was recorded at the meeting’s close.
