The North Syracuse Central School District Board of Education approved a series of routine but consequential items Monday, including a proclamation recognizing teaching assistants and teacher aides, a three-year contract with a per-diem professional association, acceptance of a $25,000 gift for scholarships, and the adoption of an AI policy.
Board President Michael Maurizio read a proclamation honoring teaching assistants and teacher aides and declared 05/12/2026 as Teaching Assistant Appreciation Day and 05/19/2026 as Teacher Aid Appreciation Day; a board member moved the proclamation and it was seconded and approved by the board.
The board approved a contract between the district and the North Syracuse Per Diem Professional Association covering 07/01/2026–06/30/2029. The board also accepted with gratitude a $25,000 gift from an estate to be transferred to Dollars for Scholars for student scholarships.
On policy matters the board completed the second reading and adoption of an AI policy. Board members noted state guidance on AI is expected in June and described the district's policy as a "living policy" that will be updated as state guidance becomes available.
The agenda also included routine approvals: minutes, business-office acknowledgments, declaration of surplus materials, a resolution to create and abolish specified positions, authorization to open an extra classroom account, and multiple personnel and administrative items. The board recognized several retirees and thanked them for years of service. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn; the board voted unanimously to end the session.
