Summary
The board granted tenure to teaching assistant Jennifer Bartlett effective Nov. 12, 2025, and approved the consent agenda, acceptance of donated books for Rhinebeck Middle School and Reinec School Foundation grants by voice vote.
Principal Scarantino recommended Jennifer Bartlett for tenure as a special education teaching assistant, citing four years of service and a record of targeted reading interventions and classroom support.
"I highly recommend Miss Bartlett without any reservation for tenure as a special education teaching assistant in our district," Principal Scarantino said.
The board moved on the recommendation and approved the tenure appointment by voice vote; the motion set the effective date as Nov. 12, 2025.
The board also approved the consent agenda, which included approval of minutes, personnel appointments and resignations, extra‑class activities, the professional learning plan, disposal of equipment, awarding a capital project contract, acceptance of the external audit and monthly financial reports. Later in new business the board accepted a donation of 40 copies of House in the Cerulean Sea and 10 copies of Somewhere Beyond the Sea for Rhinebeck Middle School and voted to accept Reinec School Foundation grants to district programs.
All of the recorded motions were approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies or objections were recorded in the transcript.
