At-a-glance: Board approves safety plan readoption, budget and election calendars, donation and schedules
Summary
The board voted unanimously on several routine items: readopting the district safety plan (incorporating the state cardiac-response paragraph), adopting the 2026 budget-prep and 2025–26 election calendars, accepting a $2,500 PTSA donation and approving multiple schedules in an omnibus motion.
At its October meeting the Jericho Union Free School District Board of Education approved several routine but consequential items by unanimous votes.
Votes recorded at the meeting included approval of the minutes (motion and second recorded, approved), adoption of the district-wide safety and emergency management plan (5–0), adoption of the 2026 budget preparation calendar and the 2025–26 annual election calendar (5–0), acceptance of a $2,500 Middle School PTSA donation to fund a guest speaker (5–0) and omnibus approval of a package of schedules (roll items A–K) and related financial reports (5–0). The board also moved into executive session to discuss a personnel matter and did not expect to take action upon return.
Donation specifics: the board accepted $2,500 from the Middle School PTSA to cover a guest speaker identified at the meeting as MLB agent Mark Line Weaver and directed staff to increase budget code 2110490000000 by $2,500 to reflect the gift. On the safety plan, the board adopted the readoption prompted by state legislation; the consultant noted the change is a short paragraph about cardiac emergency response and AED awareness.
All recorded board votes during open session were unanimous in favor. Where a motion's mover was not named on the audio record, the board's minutes and clerk will reflect the official mover and seconder.
