Saugerties Central School District holds brief July 1 special meeting to approve personnel items and summer transportation contract
Summary
At a July 1 special meeting, the Saugerties Central School District approved personnel resignations and temporary appointments, a summer 2026 student transportation contract (July 6–Aug. 30) including a legal note about services for homeless students, and two board action items (an MOA and online course fees) before adjourning.
The Saugerties Central School District held a special meeting on July 1, 2026, where the board approved personnel resignations and appointments, a summer transportation contract to cover students attending summer school from July 6 through Aug. 30, and two board action items including a memorandum of agreement and online course fees, then adjourned.
The meeting opened with a roll call and the recitation of the district's mission and vision statements. The chair said the session was called for “personnel items, business office recommendations, and action items,” and noted that July 1 is the first day of the new school year.
Board business began with personnel matters: the agenda included three resignations (listed as substitute resignations), temporary appointments and staffing for the summer school program. The chair asked for a motion on items labeled D1 and D2; a motion was seconded and the chair called for those in favor.
The business office presented a transportation contract for summer 2026 to provide student transportation during the district's summer school session, scheduled July 6–Aug. 30. A speaker referenced the applicable law requiring the district to provide transportation services for students who are homeless so that they may remain in their home district when placed outside the district.
The board next considered two action items: (1) a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the district and an ASPA related to an individual joining that organization, and (2) a proposal to approve mandatory online course enrollments and the associated costs. The board moved and voted on the items as presented.
A motion to adjourn was made and seconded by board member Timothy Wells; the chair called for those in favor and the meeting was closed. The chair noted that meetings of this type are typically about seven minutes long.
Details recorded in the meeting record: the roll call included Delar Roza; Katie Evers; Michelle Gia; Sakinai; Michael Meer; Alex Raport; Jeffrey Riyazi; and Timothy Wells. Specific vote tallies, names of motion movers in every case, and contract dollar amounts were not specified in the transcript.
