Connetquot board approves 2026–27 auditor appointments, places counseling memorandum in employee file

The Connetquot Central School District Board of Education voted to approve appointment items to retain an external auditor and a forensic auditor for the 2026–27 school year and later directed that a counseling memorandum reviewed in executive session be placed in an employee’s personnel file.

At the start of the meeting the chair asked for a motion to approve appointment items 1 and 2 for an external and a forensic auditor for 2026–27; the motion and second passed on a voice vote. The chair read the resolution language when the board later approved, saying, “Be resolved. The Board of Education hereby approves the counseling memorandum reviewed in executive session relating to the employee named in confidential schedule A and hereby directs the placement of those counseling memoranda into the employee's personnel file.” The board then moved, seconded and approved that resolution.

The vote on the auditor appointments was taken during open session; the counseling-memorandum placement followed a separate executive session called to discuss the appointment and employment history of a particular person and to receive legal advice. The transcript records voice votes recorded as “aye” but does not link individual aye votes to specific board member names in the public transcript; the board clerk recorded attendance during roll call earlier in the meeting.

The board did not provide further public detail in the transcript about the contents of the counseling memorandum or the identity of the employee, citing confidentiality. The next procedural step noted in the meeting was adjournment; no additional public actions on these items were recorded in the transcript.

The Connetquot Central School District’s board meeting materials or future minutes are likely to contain the formal resolution text and any redacted references to personnel actions as allowed by law.
