June Jericho Board of Education Meeting 6-18-26

The Jericho Board of Education held its meeting on June 18, 2026, focusing primarily on end-of-year school updates, retiree recognitions, and significant policy discussions. A major procurement-related topic was the presentation and approval of a phased technology refresh plan to transition from Chromebooks to Apple devices for K-8 students and staff, aiming to enhance learning through a sustainable technology ecosystem. The plan includes purchasing approximately 380 MacBook devices for staff and integrating Apple products gradually over several years, with an emphasis on accessibility and long-term cost efficiency. Additionally, the board reviewed and accepted the district's internal audit report and approved motions related to personnel appointments and restructuring of assistant superintendent roles. Policy updates on student attendance, school admissions, and intervention processes were discussed, with motions to accept first readings of these policies. The meeting also included motions to approve a memorandum of agreement with the Jericho Educational Administrators Association and to change the date of the July board meeting. No specific contract awards or vendor names were mentioned beyond the technology procurement details.
