October Jericho Board of Education Meeting 10-8-26

The Jericho Board of Education meeting on October 8, 2026, focused on reports and district operations; no contract award, procurement vote, or spending action was identified. The board discussed reports of spoiled school milk supplied through Aramark (the vendor name is garbled in parts of the transcript). The district said date and temperature checks were being followed, while the vendor reported its internal review found receiving and cold-holding procedures in place. The district is continuing service with the vendor while the issue is investigated; a board member raised the possibility of switching suppliers if problems persist. The district asked families to report and retain suspect milk and expected to provide an update at the October 29 meeting. No decision to change vendors was made.

Other topics included a student presentation on a brief student-wellness screener and a planned rollout of a formal behavioral threat assessment process, which administrators said they expected to have operating within about eight weeks, with further education for students and parents. The board also announced that it would discuss a revised code of conduct at its next meeting. The board moved into executive session to discuss personnel matters and stated that no further action was expected that evening.
