Board opens 30-day public comment periods on safety plan and code of conduct; approves service contracts and staff hires
Summary
The board opened 30-day public comment periods (July 6'026 to Aug. 4, 2026) for the districtwide safety plan and the code of conduct, approved personnel appointments and authorized service agreements for therapy and visual rehabilitation for 07/01/2026'06/30/2027.
The Starpoint Central School District Board voted to open public comment periods and approved a set of routine personnel and service contracts at its meeting.
The board approved a resolution to establish a 30-day public comment period for the districtwide safety plan, posted on the district website, beginning July 6, 2026, and ending Aug. 4, 2026. Board members clarified that the districtwide safety plan is a high-level framework (not individual building emergency plans), and asked the public to send comments by email to the superintendent's office. The board said it will evaluate submitted feedback and, if substantive changes are required, extend the comment window as needed.
Separately, the board approved a 30-day public comment period on the Starpoint code of conduct (same July 6'026 to Aug. 4, 2026 window) after describing that only minor formatting and a few content clarifications (dress and public conduct expectations) were proposed and that the draft had been reviewed by administrative teams and student advisory committees.
On the consent agenda, the board approved multiple personnel appointments (instructional substitute, clerical, payroll and operations positions) and welcomed new staff in person, including Joanna Fiorella in a self-contained special-education classroom. The board also authorized the superintendent to sign an agreement with Associated Physical and Occupational Therapist, PLLC for physical and occupational therapy services from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, and authorized the board president to sign an agreement for vision rehabilitation services (as reported in the agenda) for the same contract period; motions passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the excerpt.
The public hearings and contract authorizations will proceed alongside the 30-day public comment periods; the board indicated it hopes to return with revisions to the code of conduct at the August meeting if required by comments received.
