Board approves consent agenda, accepts Piccolo Memorial Scholarship and Rhinebeck School Foundation grants
Summary
The Rhinebeck Board of Education approved a consent agenda covering personnel and contracts, accepted the Piccolo Memorial Scholarship to be awarded beginning 2025–26, and accepted grants from the Rhinebeck School Foundation as presented; the transcript records 'Aye' votes but individual roll-call tallies are not listed.
At its meeting, the Rhinebeck Board of Education approved a multi-item consent agenda and accepted two resolutions in new business.
The consent agenda, moved by the chair, covered approval of the minutes of the Sept. 3, 2025 planning session, personnel appointments and leaves, adoption of an amendment to a stipulation of settlement and general release, adoption of a SECRA Type 2 resolution, disposal of equipment and uniforms, emergency transportation contracting and change orders, approval of 2025–26 transportation routes, CSE recommendations, and financial reports. The board recorded "Aye" votes to approve the consent agenda; the transcript does not list a roll-call or individual member votes.
In new business the board unanimously moved to accept the Piccolo Memorial Scholarship, which will be awarded annually to a graduating senior beginning with the 2025–26 school year, and to accept grants from the Rhinebeck School Foundation as described in the attached letter and chart. Both resolutions were moved and recorded with "Aye" votes in the meeting transcript; the motion texts and supporting documentation were said to be on the agenda or attached but are not printed verbatim in the transcript.
Why it matters: These routine approvals put in place personnel actions, contracts and grants that govern district operations for the coming school year. The accepted scholarship creates an annual award for a graduating senior, and the foundation grants will fund classroom and program requests.
Votes and documentation: The transcript records the chair calling for and receiving 'Aye' votes on the items; individual member votes were not read on the record. Supporting documents (grant chart and scholarship criteria) were referenced as attached to the agenda.
