Bay Shore Board of Education Work Session - November 4, 2026

Bay Shore School District Board of Education work session, November 4, 2026. The board received a presentation on a 30% New York purchasing incentive for school food service. The district is beginning to track purchases of qualifying New York State food products, with the goal of reaching the program’s 30% threshold and obtaining additional funding. Qualifying products are verified through the Harvest New York/Cornell program; potential local sources mentioned included Milk Pail Farms and Broadway Heights Dairy. No contract award, vendor selection, specific spending amount, or procurement-related vote was recorded. The board also discussed upcoming overnight student trips, noting that buses are shared with other districts to reduce costs; the transcript does not establish that a spending action was taken.

The work session included an informational discussion of AI use and safeguards in schools, and first readings of updates to two child-abuse-related policies. No AI purchase or policy adoption was reported. The transcript ends during the policy discussion, and no other procurement decisions are identifiable.
