This was the first in person meeting we have had all year. It was great to see everyone. President Ryan kept everyone on track and the meeting proceeded in an organized and efficient manner.

The Board decided to adjourn the budget presentation.
Happy to hear the classroom barriers and barriers around the desks will come down in June!!!!
Not clear on whether next year masks will be required. District needs to wait to receive guidance from State and Cuomo on what restrictions will remain over summer and next year
District is receiving $2.1 million in additional aid from the Corona Virus relief fund. This money is not reflected in next years’ budget because it is not reoccurring figure. Per Dr. Seniuk, the State provides specific guidelines on what District can spend this money. However, if an extra 2.1 million is being provided, this means that there should and would be money left over next year. To be continued…..
Tara Sumberac, Denise Kaufman and Amy Deniels were granted tenure
Mary Keene, Kathy Moran and Michele Gordon are running for the two Board Seats for the 2021-2022 year.

THE TRUSTEE AND BUDGET VOTE IS MAY 18, 2021 AT THE NORTH MERRICK PUBLIC LIBRARY. EVERY VOTE MATTERS. REMEMBER STEVE ENELLA LOST HIS SEAT 3 YEARS AGO BY 12 VOTES. PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
