BOE Meeting 8.19.26

The South Huntington Union Free School District Board of Education held a meeting on August 19, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. Key items approved included a five-year memorandum of agreement with the United Public Service Employees Union safety officers unit, featuring a $2 hourly wage increase, and a budget transfer of approximately $37,000 within existing codes to support technology initiatives. The board also approved an intermunicipal agreement with the Town of Huntington for the purchase and installation of a signal device at Walt Whitman High School, a capital project from the 2025-26 school year. Additionally, the board authorized a contract with JJ Stannis to serve as the district's broker for flex benefits following the closure of the previous third-party administrator, with plans to issue an RFP for the next calendar year. The meeting included updates on ongoing construction projects, ribbon cuttings for new facilities, and preparations for the upcoming school year. No votes opposed these procurement actions.
