Marcellus board approves tenure appointments, amends school calendar and bans e-bikes on property
Summary
At its June 8 meeting the Marcellus Central School District board approved several personnel and policy measures — including tenure appointments, a calendar amendment moving the last student day to June 24 and a policy update banning e-bikes and e-scooters on school grounds — and approved consent items including student travel to FCCLA nationals.
The Marcellus Central School District Board of Education on June 8 approved multiple personnel and policy items, including tenure appointments, a revision to the 2025–26 district calendar and an amendment to district vehicle policy to prohibit electric bikes and scooters on school property.
The board carried item 5.1, approving tenure for multiple instructional staff listed on the agenda. A motion to approve the appointments was moved and seconded and the board voted to carry the motion. The record identifies the appointed individuals on the agenda by name but does not provide a full roll-call tally.
Board members also approved item 5.2, a tenure appointment for an additional candidate named on the agenda; audio indicates one abstention was recorded during that vote but specific vote counts were not provided in the meeting record.
On policy 3290 (operation of motor-driven vehicles on school property), board members voted to add a ban on e-bikes and e-scooters, citing a series of near-miss incidents and noting that neighboring districts have taken similar steps. The board approved the amendment after brief discussion.
The board approved an amendment to the district calendar (item 5.4) that sets June 24 as the last day of school for students — a full day for UPK–6 and a half day for grades 7–8 — and June 25 as the last day for teachers (previously the 26th). Administration said the change preserves scheduled field trips and gives secondary teachers time to score finals.
Multiple personnel items (agenda items 6.1–6.13) were approved, including appointment of building and grounds summer help. The consent agenda (items 7.1–7.7) was also approved; board members highlighted that FCCLA students qualified for national competition and that fundraising has supported student travel plans to Washington, D.C., with the board approving travel arrangements to secure hotels and transportation.
The board adjourned without holding an executive session. The district indicated the updated counseling plan will be brought to the board for formal approval at its next meeting.
