BOE Meeting 9/22/26

The West Babylon School District Board of Education meeting on September 22, 2026, focused primarily on policy discussions and community updates rather than direct procurement activities. Key topics included a review of tax exemption options for disabled veterans, active duty military, surviving spouses of first responders, and senior citizens, with the board considering whether to adopt or modify these exemptions for the upcoming tax year. The meeting also addressed the athletic placement policy for seventh and eighth grade students moving up to varsity sports, with discussions centered on maintaining the integrity of the policy to ensure it is used appropriately and not to simply fill team rosters. The board decided to table further discussion on this policy to gather more data and input from the athletic director. No contract awards, RFPs, or purchasing decisions were reported during this session.
