School board approves revised personnel report; vacancy decision postponed

The RONDOUT VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT Board of Education approved a revised personnel report recommended by Superintendent Dr. Paul Spadaro at its July 14, 2026 meeting, the board's chair said.

"I'll make a motion to approve personnel as presented," the chair said; another member seconded the motion. The chair called for a voice vote, members responded "Aye," and the chair declared the motion passed. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or numerical tallies.

The motion implemented the personnel report as presented by Dr. Paul Spadaro, according to the chair. The agenda item was described on the record as the board's final item for the meeting; no amendments to the personnel recommendation were recorded in the meeting transcript.

The chair also noted that Susan Ireland had been present earlier in the meeting and had since left; the chair said they would reach out to her. The chair welcomed an attendee named Ronda and reported the board had been unable to make a determination on how to proceed with a board vacancy. "We were unable to, to make a determination on how we're gonna proceed with the vacancy," the chair said, and added that the issue will be placed on a future board meeting agenda when more board members are present and that the board hopes to adopt a resolution moving forward.

The chair moved to adjourn the July 14, 2026 meeting; the motion was seconded and the chair closed the meeting after a voice vote. The chair said they would "get this corrected" regarding an unspecified item before adjournment.

The board did not record a formal roll-call vote in the available transcript for either the personnel motion or the adjournment, and no formal vote totals are provided. The vacancy matter remains open and scheduled for further consideration at a subsequent board meeting.
