Board completes annual officer and committee business, moves August meeting date and approves consent agenda

The Millbrook Central School District Board of Education completed routine annual business, including officer nominations and oaths, committee assignments, a calendar change and approval of the consent agenda.

Early in the meeting the board conducted officer nominations and turn-taking for the chairing of the meeting. The presiding officer (introduced in the meeting as Barry) recited the oath for the president of the board. Nominations for other officer positions were made during roll-call-style discussion, including one nomination naming Dr. Terry Hirschfeld and another naming Chris Rosenberg; the board proceeded with the annual officer and committee organization.

The board confirmed membership of several standing committees — audit, facilities, policy, safety, district leadership and wellness — and named specific board members to each roster. The presiding officer highlighted the need for continuity on key committees and encouraged community involvement on ad hoc work where appropriate.

The board voted to move its August meeting from Aug. 11 to Aug. 3 and approved the consent agenda after an opportunity to pull items for discussion. No members of the public registered to speak during the public comment period.

The meeting concluded after a motion to enter executive session (which passed) and subsequent return and final adjournment in public session. The board noted that any actions resulting from matters discussed in executive session must be taken in public session at a later time if implementation is required.
