Ogdensburg board approves substitute hires, field trips and maternity leave
Summary
The board affirmed the superintendent’s November HIB report, appointed two substitute teachers at $120/day, approved several student trips for spring/early summer 2025, and granted an estimated maternity leave to employee Brittney Zagleski beginning Jan. 20, 2025.
At its Dec. 3 meeting, the Ogdensburg Borough Board of Education approved multiple personnel and program items in a single motion presented by Ms. Schinn and seconded by Mr. Gorsky.
The board affirmed the Superintendent’s November Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (HIB) report (P/P‑01). It approved two substitute teachers for the 2024–25 school year — Amanda Zerulli and Victoria French — at a daily rate of $120 (P/P‑02, P/P‑03).
The board also approved several student trips: 3rd‑grade Education Day at Skylands Stadium (listed June 4, 2025); 2nd‑grade visits to Sterling Hill Mining Museum (June 6, 2025) and Tranquility Farms (May 7, 2025); and a Student Council trip to American Dream Water Park (the minutes list the date as June 3, 2024). The Student Council trip date appears in the minutes as June 3, 2024; the minutes otherwise reference the 2024–25 school year. That date is recorded here as listed in the minutes and may be a typographical error in the minutes.
The board approved a maternity leave request for employee Brittney Zagleski, with an estimated leave beginning Jan. 20, 2025 and an estimated return on or about April 15, 2025. The minutes state Zagleski will be placed on federal family medical leave using accumulated sick days and then on state and federal family leave as applicable (P/P‑05).
All P/P items were adopted by voice vote with all members present voting AYE. The motion tied personnel approvals, trip permissions and leave provisions into a single board action; administrative staff were directed to process leaves and update records accordingly.
