Three Village board elects officers, swears in trustees and approves routine appointments
Summary
At its July 7 reorganizational meeting, the Three Village Central School District Board of Education elected Susan Rosenzweig president and Karen Ruffley vice president, swore in new trustees and the student representative, and approved a slate of administrative appointments and routine contracts and policies by unanimous votes.
Susan Rosenzweig was elected president of the Three Village Central School District Board of Education at the board’s July 7 reorganizational meeting and was administered the oath of office before the board. Karen Ruffley was elected vice president and also took the oath.
The board administered oaths to newly elected trustees Dr. Jeffrey Kerman, Karen Ruppley, and Carrie Gallini and to ex officio student member Michael Golinkin, who led the meeting in the pledge of allegiance. "I will," Rosenzweig said when sworn in; the board responded with congratulations.
The board approved a series of routine appointments and renewals, voting unanimously on district appointees including the purchasing agent, treasurers, payroll and records officers, and the continuation of the district’s data protection officer. The board appointed Ingrid Germano as district clerk for 2026–27 (she was administered the oath after the motion carried).
The board confirmed routine fiscal and administrative designations: district banking relationships with JPMorgan Chase, OceanFirst (formerly Flushing Bank) and Webster Bank; official newspapers (Newsday, The Village Times Herald and Long Island Business News); and check-signature rules requiring a cosignature for checks over $15,000. The board also approved audit and internal-audit arrangements and selected independent CPAs for internal and external accounting work.
The board approved several recurring contract items and service renewals including participation in the Long Island School Nutrition Directors Association cooperative bid for cafeteria supplies, continued administration of the district 403(b) plan by Omni 403(b), and the annual license with ASCAP for music royalties. The board accepted a donation of a three-quarter-size string bass and bow from Paul Rademacher for the music department and declared musical instruments and certain GoMath textbooks surplus as part of routine housekeeping.
On personnel matters included in the consent agenda, the board recorded numerous instructional and noninstructional resignations and appointments, retirements and summer assignments; those personnel items, along with the rest of the consent agenda, were approved without opposition.
The meeting concluded with recognition of several long-serving noninstructional employees and a unanimous motion to adjourn.
