Fayetteville-Manlius board adopts 2026–27 code of conduct after brief review
Summary
The Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District board opened and closed a public hearing on proposed 2026–27 code of conduct revisions and voted to approve the code; a board member asked about removed language on progressive discipline and was told the wording appears elsewhere in the document.
The Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District Board of Education voted to adopt revisions to the 2026–27 code of conduct after a brief discussion about disciplinary language.
The board opened a public hearing on the proposed revisions and invited comment; no public speakers addressed the code during the hearing segment. After closing the hearing, the board moved to approve the code as presented. The motion to approve was made and seconded and the board called the vote; the code was approved.
During discussion, a board member asked about strikeouts on page 19 where language stating "discipline is progressive" was removed. The member said progressive discipline had traditionally been part of district policy and asked for the rationale. Board members responded that the text had been moved and is covered elsewhere (page 17), and the member signaled that explanation was acceptable.
Board President Sarah Fitzgerald and others framed the adoption as part of routine policy review; no amendments were made on the floor at the meeting. The board did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the clerk called for "all in favor" and noted no objections.
