# Board of Education Public Session October 1 2026

The Bay Shore School District Board of Education held a special public session on October 1, 2026, at the junior high school. The board approved agenda items covering staff appointments and changes, civil service personnel actions, substitute appointments, extracurricular advisors and volunteers for the 2026–27 school year, and nonresident pupil matters. It also approved a $1,000 donation described in the transcript as being for a guest speaker and authorized the board president to execute an agreement with Adelphi University for student observational fieldwork through June 30, 2027. No competitive solicitation, vendor award, or capital project was discussed.

During public comment, residents asked the board to schedule a work session on student safeguarding and review Policy 9620, noting concerns about its review history and requesting a timeline. The board said it had received the concerns and would discuss the request, but did not provide a date or timeline. The remainder of the session honored educators Philip Carpenter and Paul Tedaro with dedications of a classroom and basketball court; no related procurement action was identified.
