Committee members also asked for legal review of the recommendations.

During review of Policy 3100, committee members questioned a provision that specifies a minimum superintendent contract term of one year. Board attorney Mr. Shaw said the superintendent contract \"must be between 1 and 5 years. For an acting superintendent, that's pretty much done on an ad hoc basis, it's not governed.\" Committee members noted the district currently has an acting superintendent and discussed whether the one-year minimum is practicable in that context.

A motion to bring the NISPA 3000 policies to the full board for first reading and adoption was made by Board member 2, seconded by Board member 1, and advanced by the committee. The committee asked that its lawyer review the recommended policies prior to full-board action. No final changes to the superintendent contract language were adopted at the committee level.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOE Policy Committee Meetieng - May 15, 2025 - 6:00PM","oneSentenceSummary","The policy committee reviewed NISPA 3000-series policy recommendations and moved the package to the full board for first reading and adoption; the committee also discussed policy 3100 language setting minimum superintendent contract terms and noted acting-superintendent arrangements are handled ad hoc.","taxTitle","Newburgh City School District, School Districts, New York","taxId",14388,"location","New York","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6238514,"Committee discusses options for ex officio student board member selection",38,330000,368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3351426-ad65a4dc5b5c0fd6dc2c8fd85e83b8c4&start=330&end=368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3351426-ad65a4dc5b5c0fd6dc2c8fd85e83b8c4/thumbnail_330000.jpg","/articles/6238514/New-York/Committee-discusses-options-for-ex-officio-student-board-member-selection","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6238514-ab9c2db20bcb926d5f2d9c7a67703301/orig.mp4?Expires=1770672509&Signature=daTuL-2W7ECVptbxGI-v-WS7kiqjmD0OA2x2-XbMen260AfPqm8S0CjmNHC0ZsEc-MonHZbUamhM0C8PhVTptUkVrk3s92EgDSoCtdP9pv1LP2~q8BsQZiMpilBcawukJWyRPIphsNUgoHNv~Y8CH6sXImqN81Yrk4TbhHKFmiYk2kQk5RrulZVeeltcESrNBReQ23eS9cYWQvYTZUrMEljllKzgtN4-1-lACmMI0fa~no1w89b7BOs1xITaWV~nKgAlp7QOADDsQw4CAecLYY5bLCgZfd-m4tvE-prpP4jFDA15Rx7aOHg508c2EwXV07YX8Vtv1CZGN8zTWY2IRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newburgh City School District policy committee on May 15 discussed Policy 22-45, which outlines how the district will select its required ex officio student board member. Committee members said the policy lists five selection options and that the board must choose which one will govern selection.

Committee members debated whether the student should be selected by the board or by student government with board approval. One committee member suggested collecting letters of interest and selecting the student by majority vote of the board. Another recommended allowing student government to choose a candidate subject to board approval. \"The law requires that we have 1 ex officio student board member,\" said Board member 1.

Committee members noted the statute creating the position takes effect July 1 and suggested adopting a policy and starting the selection process in May and June so the district can comply with the deadline. The committee agreed to forward the policy to the full board for a first reading and to continue discussion at the board level; no final selection process was adopted at the committee meeting.","The committee reviewed Policy 22-45 and discussed five selection options for the required ex officio student board member; members suggested letters of interest and board approval and referred the matter to the full board for first reading and further discussion ahead of a July 1 statutory effective date.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6238518,"Policy committee forwards changes to public-comment rules",222,72000,294000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3351426-ad65a4dc5b5c0fd6dc2c8fd85e83b8c4&start=72&end=294","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3351426-ad65a4dc5b5c0fd6dc2c8fd85e83b8c4/thumbnail_72000.jpg","/articles/6238518/New-York/Policy-committee-forwards-changes-to-public-comment-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6238518-704a8c402f1fd30ea13020c840e3cdf9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770672509&Signature=iQHdXKqbOafGVkbgAzvX4dE--sv-KOHTXkBAlJV55pX1ldKGXhMtgXO2G7aJ6Oa5RzkXB6pV2g6mw40xhsCXmWDBIv~milHJ44znpAZ1mLAJqvfjI2peDHDvl6vKlJELFaYnV9cVFtaSV6YIFB06tl6NxoPugJthNex3qUd8eMBi0HsJV-2N9oBATc97SeuZhlF17FUrs-1~yOgvFx16eN2OS7HQ8FMTId~xnif9s9LSzue1oRvgIgtABUE6HVAa~FzNUD5Nn1WkLtaMGnFMsJk86s8j1Ef-ZsVL3PKs0cil7iHO1W3mdd08Z5UdSTiwpC7J1haLIBna~YBgvaPI-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newburgh City School District policy committee on May 15 voted to send proposed changes to the district's public-comment rules to the full board for a first reading. The committee approved moving public comments on agenda items and reducing speaking time from five minutes to three minutes so more people can speak.

The changes would move comments on agenda items to before district business and move public comment on nine agenda items to after district business is complete, reduce individual speaker time from five minutes to three minutes to allow up to 10 speakers rather than six, and clarify that speakers may not use obscene language or make defamatory statements that \"are known to be false.\" The committee also discussed lifting a prior restriction that prevented community members from speaking about district personnel by name; under the proposed change speakers may address personnel matters but could face legal risk if they make defamatory statements.

Board attorney Mr. Shaw cautioned the committee about legal exposure, saying, \"But if they say something defamatory, they could be liable for defamation. Now, the Board of Ed couldn't be because if you have a public speaking forum, the law protects the government, but it does not protect the speaker. They go at their own risk.\" The committee also heard that three-minute limits are common in other districts; Mr. Shaw said, \"3 minutes is pretty common. I've I've seen 5 minutes occasionally.\"

Discussion focused on balancing more participants with fairness and courtesy; one committee member suggested that speakers requiring more time should submit written materials to the board. A motion to refer the proposed public-comment changes to the full board for a first reading was made by Board member 2 and seconded by Board member 1; the committee recorded affirmative roll-call responses and moved the policy forward.

The full board will consider the proposed changes at its next regular meeting as a first reading. No final policy adoption took effect at the committee meeting.","The Newburgh City School District policy committee advanced revisions to public-comment rules May 15, moving when speakers address agenda items, shortening individual time limits and clarifying limits on defamatory speech; the package was sent to the full board for a first reading.","actionData","errors"]
