Board affirms superintendent decision, approves consent agenda and accepts school gifts

The Levittown Union Free School District Board of Education on June 5 unanimously approved its consent agenda, accepted several gifts to schools and voted to uphold a superintendent decision on an appeal dated May 31, 2024.

During the meeting the board approved items A through L on the consent agenda by a 5–0 vote. After a board member requested three items be pulled from specific schedules, the board voted to suspend normal policy rules in order to add agenda item N; the suspension motion passed (recorded vote 5–0). Later, the board approved a recommended motion “that the Board of Education hereby upholds the superintendent’s determination in the appeal dated 05/31/2024,” by a 5–0 vote.

The board also accepted several donations. Notable gifts recorded included a $1,000 donation to Division Avenue flag football from the New York Jets Foundation and smaller box‑top proceeds to elementary activity funds and playground/lunchroom accounts. The gifts were accepted by motion and recorded as approved 5–0.

The meeting included routine procedural motions (reconvene, executive session, adjourn) and no recorded roll‑call vote with individual member names was provided in the transcript; only the boardwide tallies were recorded. The board president called for motions and asked for seconds; recorded outcomes were presented as board tallies rather than individual vote records.

The board also handled a request to pull three items from the agenda for separate consideration; those items were identified in the transcript as schedule 1007.2 numbers 18 and 19 and schedule 1007 number 3. The transcript did not provide further detail about the content of those pulled items during the June 5 meeting.

Next steps: The items pulled from the consent agenda will be addressed separately per board procedure at a subsequent point on the agenda or at a future meeting.
