And accordingly, members of the public are invited to speak at a special meeting subject to the terms
002of the board policy. A speaker must register in advance by no later than 400 pm the day of the meeting by contacting the district clerk in person at 165 North Columbus Avenue Vernon, New York, by phone at 914665-5235 or by email.

Up to one additional minute may be used for the speaker to summarize and conclude their remarks. If appropriate, board trustees and or the superintendent or other staff members at the direction of the superintendent may immediately respond to a speaker's remarks. Our speaker this evening
003is Brenda Lcrump. We're on the same page today. Good evening everyone. Yes, it's hot but it's still good in here. But I'm moving. So, uh, I want to say start out with a thank you to, um, our district clerk and whomever else in reference to, um, changing the special meeting notice on Facebook. Although, you know, I think it was probably done about 3:34, something like that. So, the community at large did not know that they were going to be allowed to speak because it didn't say so. But thank you for making the change. Uh I want to talk about the policies that's on the agenda to be voted upon and the policies where um it's being asked that the board wave the policy um readings policy. If we want to truly be transparent and want
004to our community to be fully engaged and involved, then these policies should not be voted upon tonight. They should be put out for the community to view and give input on if you truly want input from the community. I say just remember some of you who are leaving, you might just want to run again next year. So I am humbly asking and suggesting that you treat your constituents accordingly. Allow them to be involved, to be engaged, and to participate because um one of the things that stood out right away for me and I did not get a chance to read them all. I like to compare side by side to see what's changed and I definitely didn't have time to do that. um and that is no board president whoever sits in the seat should
005have more authority than any other trustee. So to give sole discretion or sole decision to a board president now you've you're setting a president that's against the presidents that's against the the the policies that's against um school board law about no trustee has more power than the other. the power is shared equally. So, that's one of the things um and I'm not going to go through them, but um there is one and I don't know if I can pull it up. Just remember how we're how we're treating our our constituents, y'all constituents treating us. Um I don't think that the constituents need to be told that if they uh speak in a manner that's disruptive or their behavior cuz who determines that? who determines about um this is what democracy looks like when injustices are
006being done. Although I'm not here, I do watch the board meetings. So when the parent that came here and put the urn on the table, would she have been asked to be removed? Would she have been asked to sit down? And candidly, um, Trustee Saunders, when you appeared at the NAACP Mount Vernon branch and your behavior, was that the behavior of disruption of their discussion and their meeting? And should you have been asked um to leave? Should you have been removed? So, I want us to really think about the things that we say to our constituents, your constituents. Um there I'm sure there are some other things on the policy on the agenda but um I want to say to give the board trustees and the community agendas over the holiday weekend, the summer weekend,
007the graduation, weddings, etc. weekend to review all this stuff does not show that you truly want them to be involved and engaged. And I will leave with this. For those board members, you you received a lot of resolutions. If you have not had the chance to fully vet all of the resolutions and the backup that was given to you from left to right, top to bottom, I would humbly urge you not to vote on some of the resolutions and especially the policy ones because we should not be waving our own policy for the first, second, third, etc. reading that should be done. There is nothing that's in the policies. I think that's on the agenda. If so, correct me that it needs to be voted on tonight. We don't want people to leave with just
008bragging rights of I changed some policies, I revised some polities policies. It's about quality, not quantity. Thank you. Thank you. Can I have a motion, please, to enter into executive session for the purpose of discussing pending litigation, the financial history of a particular person or corporation or matters leading to the appointment, employment, demotion, discipline, suspension, dismissal, or removal of a particular person or corporation and to receive legal advice on a pending matter.

I have a motion for 5.1. Authorization to hire staff for district-wide summer credit recovery registration June 26, 27th, and 30th, 2025. Motion, please. Motion. Second, questions, concerns, discussions. I have a question. Um, this is summer credit recovery registration to Dr. Do, right? Um, my question is why
011do we have as one of the persons here as an elementary school principal. I think your question should go to Dr. Smith. Okay, I can answer. Basically, when you post, when you post positions, all administrators apply for those positions. they're interviewed uh and they express their interests and basically they're entitled to a job if it's available. Okay. Because since it is credit recovery since it is high school and she's elementary in my mind I'm just thinking that it would be Miss Thomas or Mr. Grant. I'm sorry that it would be you know Mr. Grant or Miss Thomas who are high school level and they do if I'm correct credit recovery or is that something that they engage in their particular they have to apply for the job. Okay. But okay so there was no one
012else besides her since she's on elementary level. No there was several other people that might have applied but in terms of Miss Thomas since you brought it up she's involved in another program simultaneously during the summer. Okay. All in favor? Oppose. Motion carries. That's all I feel. I have a motion for 5.2. authorization to hire staff for districtwide summer credit recovery and regions prep programs from July 7th to August 14th, 2025. Motion second. Questions, concerns, discussions? All in favor? Oppos? Abstain. Okay. Motion carries. Okay. Have a motion for 5.3. Authorization to enter into a 5-year contract with Southern Westchester Boseies for the provision of computer services. Second. Questions, concerns, discussions? All in favor? I. Any oppose? Abstain. Motion carries. I have a motion for 6.1. Authorization to award bid number 2025/26-02 landscaping services to Valicia
013workg groupoup for the 2526 school year. Motion. Second. Uh can we please have concerns? Can we please have the documentation show on public facing for this contract? It's this is this I'm actually the question is is this also is this consultant being paid by from the cafeteria fund of state money? No, no, this is the landscaping. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. This is I'm sorry. Hold on. I can't I'm sorry. Yeah, not there yet. Am I in the wrong? You're in the wrong. I'm sorry. I'm on Okay, never mind. You're in the wrong. Yeah, that's fine. I I I have I have I have questions on this landscaping one. I just My question was for the budget committee because this is about a $1.6 million contract. I I'm just curious to know if this
014was um contemplated in the 2526 budget and to what extent we have buildings and grounds crew and equipment to do any of this work um or are we completely replacing existing buildings and ground crew and equipment with this outside contractor? Thanks. That should be Dr. Smith. Wait, you want to basically the buildings and grounds crew could not cover all of the services that was necessary and so landscapers were were hired to assist. Um, with that came um rent in trucks and salaries that way exceed this amount. And they based on their bid, they said that they can cover what we need to be done in the district. And and so this was factored into the 2526 budget, this move. That's correct. Okay. Thank you. So given for all these years that these groundsmen did all
015the work that they have done moving around furniture and etc. So these this this landscaping company is going to do the same or better. Are you talking about moving or are you talking about landscaping? Whatever has to be moved cuz they did it all. The the groundsmen they moved around whatever needed to be moved and you know you don't expect um anybody else to do cuz that's something they did. you know, anything that has to be moved out, furniture, whatever it is, old furniture, whatever it is, but that's what they did. So, is the landscaping company going to do what they did or above what they did? Because they've been doing it forever for us to all of a sudden need it now. I thought we put buildings and ground back into the school system
016into the schools. They are. They'll still be there. So, truly, we need these people now. to do the buildings and grounds work, but they're going back in as cleaners. Am I correct? Um, it depends on what they were previously. I'm talking about the groundsmen. Are they going back in? If they were custodians, if they were cleaners, they So, really, that's a drop down from where they were. Um, so we saving money on that. And even though we had a 1.6, we're saving money. Yes, we are. So, Let me uh just for clarification um we always had a um a consultant firm doing company landscaping. Correct. This is not the first contract. Is this the first landscaping contract? This is this is just a new company because I remember um something picture perfect picture perfect that
017had the contract before. So this is a new bid that this company had correct that being awarded. Yes, that contract expired this year. So, we'd have to put out a new one. And so, this was the result of the new one. And this one in a bid you ask for any and all services. So, that number of we say one, it's like 1.5. It won't come to that. I I did respond to your email in pretty good detail just to kind of break that down that everything is budgeted for, but it's at the district's interest to know what everything's going to cost and then the services multiplied by 24 when it should really be by three. That plays with the numbers, bud. Okay. So, if we've always had that, why are we getting rid of
018our groundsmen? That was to address the 20 some odd million dollar budget gap when we had a reduction in workforce. I'm not buying it. Just so I'm just so I'm clear. So, we did we we approved the reduction of workforce and I thank you for the response because it it helps. We approved the reduction of workforce. We approved the 2526 budget which incorporates the reduction of workforce and the money we're supposed to save due to that reduction. Right? I know we've had prior discussions where picture perfect we had them as a contract. They were not doing everything that they could have been doing but we were paying them right. I don't know if you I don't I don't know if you recall that conversation but we had it. Will this company do everything that Picture
019Perfect did not do even though we were paying them for years? Yes. It's difficult because I don't have anything here to say what their I don't the scope is there but you know as far as equipment and things like that. Are they bringing their own equipment? What about our equipment? Do we are we selling our equipment? Are we auctioning? So we we can do a lot of things with our equipment. We can sell. We can auction. But it's the understanding as per the bid that this company is going to provide 100% of the services equipment. Um we don't have to gift them anything if we don't want to. So they're responsible for their own stuff. I have a quick question. How old is our um equipment that we have now? It a varies in age
020off the top of my head. I'm not fully aware. How do we use it all the time? Are we up to date or you know like everything in the district it's getting older and needing pretty extensive repairs and the cost of repairs and replacement to our equipment is is pretty high. So the cost of replacement would be much higher plus having another group that will come with their own equipment, right? That's responsible for their own maintenance, wear, tear, and everything. That's that's a cost they absorb that we don't. Okay. Thank you. I have a question. What's the difference in price for the Picture Perfect versus this new landscaping company? I don't Picture Perfect didn't bid what we paid last year. What's the difference? What's the variance? They didn't do everything that this company's going to
021do. That's not my question. My question is what's the difference in the cost? I don't have that information off the top of my head. Do you have that? I don't I don't have it in front of me. Well, since we just got this at 5:00, um didn't know it was going to be an agenda. I would have asked the question. Excuse me. I think you can't compare apples to oranges. If you're not asking them to have the same amount uh scope of work, you can't ask them to be paid the same amount. So, this is a new bid. I think uh that was discussed when we were doing the budget that this was one of the cost-saving um efforts that the district was going to do because it would save and the budget passed. So,
022I'm just saying that when you try to compare what you had to what you have now, it's not going to be equal. I just wanted to know what the variance was in the cost. That's all I asked. But they're not doing the same work. That's what I'm saying. I just wanted to know the the difference between the cost of one contract and the other contract. I can I know that it's not the same work. I just want to know what the difference is what the cost we're spending for landscaping last year for a a consultant versus what we're spending this year. That's all I wanted to know. So, he doesn't have that right now, but we can get that to you. All in favor? Oppose. Abstain. Abain. Motion carries. Okay. Have a motion for 6.2.
023Authorization to award RFP number 24/25-03R food service consultant to HMBB consultants for the 2526 school year. Motion. I have a second. Do I have a second? Second. Questions, concerns, discussions? All in favor? Oppose? Oppose. Can you give us a little bit of an explanation, Mr. Mundy or Dr. Smith? Question, Trusty Middleton. Huh? Were you asking a question about Yeah, I just want to know. I just want a little bit of an explanation on it on this picture. This tab. Yeah. With the food um consultant. So, the district published an RFP to seek out a food service consultant to help us support our food service operation. This is a common practice in many districts and it provides an additional layer of oversight and support and interpretation and it really helps the districts uh perform to their
024maximum capacity, utilize all the federal funding that's available, keep the food service management companies in line, support us, support our food service manager. Uh so this is that additional layer of oversight from people who are experts in the field and service 19 different school districts. So they bring that wealth of knowledge uh and best practices and support the district. We've had a food service consultant in the past. Quick question. Does the um district pay for that? How does that work? How do they get paid? So it comes out of the C fund. The C fund. And where does the C fund come from? The C fund comes from sales from our cafeteria. So that's our food service program. So the district generates a profit off of those uh registered sales and that helps fund the
025consultants. Okay. Thank you. I have a quick question. I thought we've discussed that the cafeteria fund is funded by the state. How much of it is state money? It's it's all funded by the state. Okay. So it's not taxpayer dollars. So now the question I have, we were running um we had a food service manager that was district. Is that position still open and Okay. Yes. So we're going to bring this consultant in who's going to work in conjunction with our food service district manager? Absolutely. And this is to hold Sedexo accountable so that we will not see a repeat of what we've seen for the past several years. Yes. I like Thank you. Okay. Um, any abstain? Abstain. Anyone? Okay. Okay.

Same question like what trusty Marble asked about the landscaping. I'm sorry. I think it was I just want to see the difference in price. Right. I could show the same thing, but just just to clarify, it is the same. They just took over that agency. So, it's the same number. Just want to make sure that's that's understood. Um, it's the same it's it's in essence it's the same company because they took over that company. But I I could send you the information. I just want to know the numbers. You got it. Thank you. Okay.

Why does it say first amendment made June 17th? Today's June 23rd. So, I'll speak to
032that. That's when it was drafted. So, that's why it had that date and I think it was pulled from uh the board meeting at that time. So, that's why it has a date of June 17. Okay. We've never seen this before. So, I wasn't aware that that was an initial one. Right. I think on that date all contracts were pulled. So, it never made it to the board. Right. Because that wasn't one of the ones that was pulled either. Oh, it wasn't there. Wasn't there. Oh, well, it was it should have been there to be pulled, but I guess once all the other contracts got pulled, that never went up. But that was the date that it was drafted. So that's why you have the 17. And I'm I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Trusty Marba, but
033did you finish your questioning for now? Okay. And this is for a temporary time frame. How how does this work? Is this just through one school year? What is this? Is it at will is the question? Yeah. Is it at will for the most part? Yeah. It says interim. Does interim mean at will? Is that right? Oh, there we go. Um, without going into discussions that were had in executive session. I think those questions were outlined in executive session as to what would be the protocol while this position is being had and what the board would do to maintain continuity. So, I'll just leave it at that. I have a question. Oh, I'm sorry. You finished? No, go ahead. I didn't get I didn't get in there. Okay. Okay. So, my question is, how long
034have you been an experienced business manager or have you in terms of an assistant superintendent of business? That that question that question is inappropriate. That's an inappropriate question. Okay. All right. I just want to know. I mean, you know, I'm answering the question. All right. So, um, okay. All in favor, but is there can I ask this question?

Can I have a motion for 9.1 authorization to have the Cecil H Parker portrait be moved to the board of education? Motion. Second. Question. Okay. questions, concerns. It might be that I didn't see I'm sorry. It might be that I didn't see the response to the question. I believe it was Trusty Middleton had asked a question about was the public involved in the decision to where this portrait should go. Do we have an answer on that that is clear
037and actually an answer? I was getting ready to ask you. I was informed that um in your executive session last week that our attorney responded to this an executive session. Yeah. Oh, well I Yeah, the lawyer made a a statement to you guys regarding the that so there was no real conclusion to that matter said in executive session. Huh? Are you saying what was said in executive session? I'm talking that's what's happening. No, you can't do that. I I motion's on the floor. I had a question reader, right? I said question and basically Mr. Mitchell kind of I alluded to it earlier but I would like to know why the board of ed. So this is from what I understand this belongs to the school district. Is that right? Not not to my knowledge and
038I was there when all of this happened. So not to my knowledge. So this was gifted to the school district. Correct. It was not gifted to the school district. It was Miss Dr. Spruel who gifted it to Parker School in itself. So because you voted to close the school building um why do we need to put it here where it's out of view of the public? But if it's a gift that means it's belongs to the school district. A gift is but so why are you putting it at the board? I'm asking a question that we that they wanted to do put it at the library which makes more sense because then it becomes public rather than to the school. Okay. So why do you want to put it at the board though? It's a
039motion on the floor. Motions on the floor. All in favor? Give me an answer. Okay. Opposed. Y'all are sub. Opposed. Oppos. Absolutely. Cuz y'all wasn't there. So you don't know the value of it. Trusty Marabel. Abstain. Motion carry. Yes. What did we say? And motion carries. Good. Okay. No, we didn't only selling it. We're pulling those, right? Only if we was going to sell it. Did we have to roll call? Roll call. We had Trusty Saunders, Trusty Kelly, Trusty Kerwin, Trusty White, and Trusty Injinga with a yay vote. Trusty Middleton, Trustee Mitchell. Nay. We had Trustee Marabel abstain. and trustee Mcdana abstain. Okay. So, can I We're going to pull those out. We're going to pull the policies. Okay. So, so you want to say one motion. Okay. Right. Can I have a motion, please,
040to pull the policies 9.2 all the way through 9.12? Motion, please. Motion. Second. Questions, concerns, discussions? All in favor? Oppos? Okay, good. We should vote. Abstain. Okay, motion carries to pull the first reading of the policies 9. I just want to make sure we have that right. We're going to pull 9.2. So, why don't you just to 9.12? I just wanted wanted to clarify. Are we done? Are we okay? I just wanted to clarify the process that we're proceeding with the policies. There'll never be a full waiver. The public will always have an opportunity to hear the policies. What usually happens is from the 1st to the second is the opportunity for the public then to weigh in and for the trustees to then have a second view or third view or fourth view of
041ideas before it is actually read in. Given the concern that was brought today, um it is the board's position to have the policies up on the website for the next board meeting for which then the policies will be read and there will be a vote on or a vote as to whether or not waving the second reading. So this is the opportunity now to review the policies and make whatever comments or email whatever comments for the board to consider uh in reference to the policies that is before them and I think I captured that right.
