Regular BOE Meeting 9/29/2026

At the September 29, 2026, regular meeting of the Islip UFSD Board of Education, district staff presented the elementary math curriculum review and pilot results. Staff recommended continuing with Envision Math for grades K–5, citing teacher feedback, instructional resources, student engagement, and assessment results compared with Ready Math. The presentation said Envision costs about $200 more per grade level annually; the district described the added cost as worthwhile. Pilot professional development was conducted at minimal cost, with one paid session reported. The presentation outlined continued teacher support and implementation monitoring; no formal curriculum contract award or vote was identified in the transcript.

The board also introduced a new student bicycle, e-bike, and motorized-scooter policy, waived the second reading, and said it would vote on the policy that evening, but the transcript does not capture the vote’s result. The policy would permit qualifying riders aged 16 or older to travel to school by e-bike or similar vehicle, require helmets, and generally prohibit these vehicles on school campuses except at the high school; riders must walk vehicles while on campus. The board approved agenda items A–N in a recorded vote, and a speaker thanked the board for approving beautification of the middle school memorial garden; no related costs, vendors, or contracts were stated.
