Madrid-Waddington board approves 2026–27 Code of Conduct, Professional Learning Plan and multiple personnel actions
Summary
The Madrid-Waddington Central School Board unanimously approved the 2026–27 Code of Conduct, the Professional Learning Plan and a series of memoranda of agreement and personnel appointments, including summer driver and monitor hires and CSE/CPSE authorizations.
The Madrid-Waddington Central School Board of Education unanimously approved a package of district policies, personnel appointments and memoranda at its June 9, 2026 regular meeting.
The board adopted the district’s 2026–27 Code of Conduct and approved the Professional Learning Plan for the coming school year. Both items were approved by motions recorded on the minutes and carried by unanimous vote (yeas: all present; nays: none). Superintendent Eric Burke presented the proposals and recommended board action.
Why it matters: Adopting the Code of Conduct sets the district-wide behavioral rules for students and staff for 2026–27; the Professional Learning Plan outlines staff development priorities and schedules for the year. The board also ratified memoranda of agreement with employee groups affecting benefits and terms for the next year.
The board accepted recommendations from the Committees on Special Education (CSE) and Preschool Special Education (CPSE) and authorized funds to implement the recommended special-education services. That action was approved under Motion No. 2026-125, moved by Ryan Hayes and seconded by Bruce Durant.
Board members also approved recent labor agreements and memoranda. Motion No. 2026-126 approved the Madrid-Waddington Teachers’ Association (MWTA) MOA; a Health Insurance MOA and an SRP MOA were recorded as accepted during the meeting.
