Executive staff provided updates on the Sequoya Move Project, including relocation planning and senior leadership interviews.

The District Superintendent also noted positive feedback during her mid-year evaluation with the Commissioner, who expressed interest in a Long Island Town Hall meeting. Operational updates covered the impending loss of the Sequoya lease in 2027 and exploring potential relocation alternatives with Sachem. Committee reports detailed renewed grant funding, the critical nature of communicating the value of public education, and discussions around cybersecurity. The Policy Committee reviewed several policies, moving Policy 7220 forward for a First Reading and deferring review of three new policies suggested by Erie 1 BOCES. The Community Legislative Committee hosted a guest speaker who emphasized the value of CTE programs. Unfinished business included the second reading and adoption of several policies, such as Code of Conduct and Artificial Intelligence. The Consent Agenda involved numerous approvals, including financial reports for December 2025, awards and extensions for various bids and RFPs, participation in cooperative bidding programs coordinated by Nassau BOCES, acceptance of several grants (including ESSA Title I and WIOA funds), personnel actions, numerous professional service and facility use contracts, agreement amendments with various vendors like Curriculum Associates, DocNetwork, and Renaissance Learning, two leasehold space agreements (with Brentwood Union Free School District and Port Jefferson Union Free School District), and ratification of Terms in Variance agreements with the UPSEU collective bargaining unit.
