Votes at a glance: key first‑reading policy outcomes and appointments
Summary
At the meeting the board approved the appointment of a new elementary principal and accepted first readings of key policies: solicitation (32‑71), use of facilities (32‑80), and artificial intelligence (57‑41) (bundle vote 5–0), and approved the first reading of policy 34‑30 ('Opportunity for All') on a 3–2 vote.
The Jericho Union Free School District Board recorded several formal actions during the meeting:
• Appointment: The board unanimously approved the appointment of Laudie Kaufstein as principal of Campeck Elementary following introduction by Superintendent Dr. Robert Kravitz and a motion moved and seconded by trustees; the meeting packet listed salary and term details.
• Policies — First readings accepted: The board accepted first readings of the following policies: 32‑71 (Solicitation of charitable donations), 32‑80 (Use of school facilities) and 57‑41 (Artificial Intelligence) in a bundled vote recorded as 5–0. Trustees instructed administration to move operational details into procedures and to return with refined contract and procedural language for AI and facilities.
• Policy 34‑30 ('Opportunity for All') — First reading accepted: The board separately accepted the first reading of policy 34‑30 (renamed 'Opportunity for All') on a 3–2 vote. Two items remain open for further editing: wording around access/equity (options discussed included 'equal access' vs. 'meaningful access') and whether committee formation should be mandated or left to superintendent discretion.
• Election inspectors: The board appointed clerks/inspectors for the May 19 district election as presented in the packet (motion moved and seconded; vote recorded on the record).
