Bay Shore School District Board of Education Public Session - May 2, 2025

001of the board of education. Like a motion to go into public session. Motion. Second. Second. All in favor? I opposed. So carry. We are in session now. Please stand for the pledge. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Again, good morning. I have a statement here to strong communities are built on responsible decisions that protect all stakeholders, including those impacted by the Child Victims Act, current residents, and future generations. As we have said repeatedly during these meetings, our goal has always been to address claims with compassion and fairness while protecting our current students and taxpayers, preserving vital services, and maintaining resources without reductions to programs or a significantly adverse impact on the tax levy. We have called this special meeting today because the board is going to authorize the commencement of a legal action against two past insurance companies of the district. The purpose of this lawsuit is to enforce contractual insurance obligations from those carriers. That will be the only item on this agenda. I will read the motion. I need a motion to approve the resolution to authorize the Saxs Dawnberger and Vita PC law firm to initiate legal action on behalf of the district as presented. Motion second. Any questions? All in favor? I. Opposed? So carried. Thank you very much for attending this meeting. With that, I'll take a motion to go out of public session. Motion. Second. All in favor? I I opposed. So carry. Have a good morning and a nice weekend.
