BOE 11-5-2026

The Herricks Board of Education meeting on November 5, 2026, included unanimous approval of routine business items covering a consultant, Nassau BOCES letters of intent, a dual-enrollment partnership agreement, and a special education contract. The board also unanimously approved disposing of an obsolete ride-on scrubber at Denton Avenue Elementary School. No contract amounts, contract numbers, or vendor names were stated in the transcript.

Following a public hearing, the board unanimously approved resolutions for property-tax exemptions for eligible surviving spouses of volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers, eligible surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty, senior citizens, and veterans with service-connected disabilities. The exemptions were described as applying beginning with the 2027–28 school tax year; the district noted that the number of newly eligible taxpayers and the resulting budget impact were not yet known. The meeting also included staff professional-development updates, including training related to AI, but no related purchases were identified.
