Board of Education approves consent agenda, authorizes settlements and student trip
Summary
The Board of Education approved its consent agenda and a series of specific resolutions, including authorization for attorneys to execute a consent order, approval of out-of-state travel for the high school jazz band, and a memorandum of understanding to pursue a $450,000 after-school grant with the Rye YMCA.
The Board of Education convened and approved its consent agenda, then voted separately to adopt several resolutions: authorization to execute a consent order and judgment in a tax proceeding affecting Palmer Terrace Cooperative Inc.; approval of an out-of-state trip for the high school jazz band and swing choir to the National Jazz Festival in Philadelphia; and authorization to pursue a New York State Department of Education grant with the Rye YMCA.
The board voted to authorize attorneys Sharp Carlson May & Lambert LLP to execute a consent order and judgment and to make any tax refunds required by the terms of that order. The board also approved a resolution authorizing the superintendent to approve the attached out-of-state trip for the high school jazz band and swing choir to the National Jazz Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Separately, the board approved a memorandum of understanding to partner with the Rye YMCA in pursuing a state grant with a maximum award of $450,000 to support after-school programming for elementary and middle school students. The memorandum was described as an exploratory partnership while the district and YMCA 'iron out the kinks' of the proposed program before a tight grant application deadline.
The board also approved three settlement-related resolutions: a release and settlement agreement involving student number 131100021 and two additional release agreements (student numbers 2209009 and 17050003). Each settlement was incorporated by reference into the minutes and the board authorized the superintendent to execute the agreements on behalf of the district.
All of the motions on the consent agenda and the separately moved resolutions were made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the chair asking 'All in favor' with board members responding in the affirmative. No roll-call tallies or named vote records appear in the transcript.
The board set upcoming meeting dates and adjourned following the votes.
