The board approved the bus bond resolution on a 5-0 vote; meeting remarks noted the resolution requires a higher legal voting threshold and that five votes met that statutory requirement. The board then voted, generally by combined motions, to approve multiple categories of items: instructional materials at elementary and secondary levels, districtwide purchases, contract renewals (including IMS and Questar-related services), IPAC recommendations and disposal of obsolete items. Each consolidated category passed by recorded votes of five yes votes, with motions moved and seconded by board members on the record.

Audit committee members reported that the committee unanimously approved the Questar contract, which carries a four percent increase totaling $23,003.67; committee members characterized the contract as a professional services agreement and said it represented good value compared with alternative procurements.

District staff also highlighted approval of a data-privacy agreement to participate in a statewide Regional Information Center initiative and its ROC (risk operation center) to centralize vendor-risk operations; the board approved that item 5-0. The board approved the code of conduct annual review and other policy readings; staff said the code of conduct may be revisited after the cell-phone policy is finalized to ensure consistent language.

Special-education committee recommendations were presented for acceptance and approved. The board approved personnel items, recognized retirements, and approved the appointment of Lori McKenna as interim deputy superintendent (reported separately).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Shenendehowa Board of Education Meeting | June 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Education approved a capital bus bond resolution, consolidated consent items (instructional materials, contracts, bids) and a regional data-privacy agreement; the audit committee reported approval of a Questar contract with a 4% increase.","taxTitle","SHENENDEHOWA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",13431,"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},6204921,"Board appoints Lori McKenna as interim deputy superintendent for transition",150,2832000,2982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3777659-450e48a4eeb35c8bc603a2d89864c4dd&start=2832&end=2982","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3777659-450e48a4eeb35c8bc603a2d89864c4dd/thumbnail_2832000.jpg","/articles/6204921/New-York/Board-appoints-Lori-McKenna-as-interim-deputy-superintendent-for-transition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204921-0b0b602529a074489e43473e6b1628df/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140481&Signature=cPC~EttYzJnecSpDAkoH6tZ5yep3dTw3wBgJG8mXWzcSrBc6~hWPgfqJ7LtU~w8pKLKbAg0~SkXnzxctM4rLTTU4CojQoOPEnHr2hZ-d9~h27UXxMCTsp4aP195WpJ6knPFwI04VADa9M-7~ZSl6nRefrQTNmeo7fbIX1c-AdDwpYGUaOxOOA3nenZJ~vmXmj1ChHrt0LEeyxPFGFXI7m4D3a-7WBR~R0q1urL-k~dmvOwy8fqBrO1s~wUuLUxokTsDGXQtt-q4fE8cjz8iwkmjyQWlRXaPFTOTPrWE1hcSYFhupyE9qVSTgR~dmPVSpZ1Dmokwfb1nuxHlhUE0qyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education approved the appointment of Lori McKenna as interim deputy superintendent to support the district’s leadership transition, effective July 1.

Dr. Wilson Turner, speaking at the meeting, described the appointment as part of a planned, “seamless transition” as Superintendent Robinson hands leadership responsibilities to incoming administration. Turner said McKenna agreed to come out of retirement to ensure continuity on key workstreams, including onboarding a new special education director, managing a special education RFP, and supporting instructional and building leaders.

The board approved the personnel slate that included McKenna’s appointment; the motion passed with five yes votes. Board members thanked staff for stepping in during the transition and acknowledged retirements and other personnel changes presented in the personnel packet.

No further details about McKenna’s contract terms or length beyond the interim designation were discussed at the meeting; the board indicated the hiring is intended to prevent organizational disruption during the July 1 leadership change.","The Shenendehowa board voted to appoint Lori McKenna as interim deputy superintendent to support a leadership transition beginning July 1; Dr. Wilson Turner outlined the role and transition priorities.",{"_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},6204925,"State 'cell phone' law forces accelerated timeline for Shenendehowa policy",180,1920000,2100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3777659-450e48a4eeb35c8bc603a2d89864c4dd&start=1920&end=2100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3777659-450e48a4eeb35c8bc603a2d89864c4dd/thumbnail_1920000.jpg","/articles/6204925/New-York/State-cell-phone-law-forces-accelerated-timeline-for-Shenendehowa-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204925-1740baa19612d1dd172c6f9210c21a0d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140481&Signature=LkMRSvHyf0DJBNz6FfZHtq8aHZ4PdAnMCvPkaMqyyaKyfmGtc3TbgvI4BMB8jKvPrrH-1WhDOs--Fv1dugRLPHnuzcaDJU8DVs~0M6OzM~NLx4X1K5W6Bn-mJezVzD8p6HZVv~4jqkR-ISJ8eihj8ru6CDJOBtQW7qEqPWcr7jLRpZXQUG2vonq7scjX4Mz0mQQkVL4A9GUIJ41hj7-jKuPYWamtS3jbb-cc~MAr9edb3yPvl6f40GDCcMEPAaIOxH7LLu20vBLXjnXgnIzgDH0PUyCsQrVADb2sKANg-STwXfFRZuofur-ZPsh07-5h~P9w7Opi2DIV7ELnXMbpDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members discussed a recently passed state law that requires school districts to adopt restrictions on internet-enabled devices — widely described in the meeting as a cell-phone ban — and outlined an accelerated local timeline to comply.

During the policy discussion, board members and district staff said the law was passed late in the state budget process and carries a fast deadline. The district plans to gather stakeholder feedback, run focused student and staff sessions, post draft policy materials, bring the draft to the board for a reading at the next meeting, and aim for board adoption by Aug. 1 so the district can implement the rule for the new school year. District staff said the policy will be posted and that the law includes requirements for recording incidents that may be violations.

Board members emphasized outreach to parents and broader stakeholders. Staff said the district will send an initial survey to parents via the SIS messaging system (about 13,000 accounts were cited as potential recipients) and pursue additional focus groups with students and staff. Board members asked for multiple avenues for public input so community members who do not receive the SIS message can still participate.

District leaders cautioned that the timing compresses the normal 30-day policy review cycle used for other policies, so district staff may return to adjust related language (for example, the student code of conduct) after the cell-phone policy is finalized and posted.

No new policy text was adopted at the meeting; staff said the draft will be brought back to the board for reading and potential adoption to meet the state deadline.","Board members said a recently passed state law requiring restrictions on internet-enabled devices in schools imposes a compressed schedule; the district plans stakeholder feedback, a public reading and adoption by Aug. 1.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6204930,"Shenendehowa honors spring athletes, highlights state and national qualifiers",1331,442000,1773000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3777659-450e48a4eeb35c8bc603a2d89864c4dd&start=442&end=1773","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3777659-450e48a4eeb35c8bc603a2d89864c4dd/thumbnail_442000.jpg","/articles/6204930/New-York/Shenendehowa-honors-spring-athletes-highlights-state-and-national-qualifiers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6204930-223aa7d254f5571b29f52d210f5fbcec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140481&Signature=PegPFli8PdC8yAla78cz3Cpf3rb9Ndh~DkIuSWU3n7A~kL3bh4qQlTU2y1~C4YDTRnJReQoDBwcnhj9Wg6EKVggLYRgKxiiOEVptqbG0O38UlF4h5ArMP0jeGlkXztcYjOf7tEYy6j15u8GvLEpiBij8SwoI1QHJxRanhwIUtE-153-euKfzAsf5MhiEgYMw3XAdFfP1-ZyVH4YoPua1thqb3sn6bp5pyqBJ0DiofZMG8sxy6R-M5H0tKiSCHosX0H1BV6MyTwM~q6Wugi0tW-3~CAGdEf1CtsPVMo8RnqNPCO0yQ7NugCxm5SDWF96QKzDx3wnNTjz5nu8zmP64hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education on Monday recognized student-athletes from the spring season, celebrating team results, individual sectional and state qualifiers, and academic honors.

Athletics presenter Mr. Louvera and Superintendent Dr. Robinson led the recognition and invited multiple teams and individual athletes to the front of the meeting chamber to mark recent accomplishments. The spring season included more than 700 participating athletes on 19 teams across eight sports with 45 coaches, the presentation said. Seven of eight varsity teams met the criteria to be recognized as scholar-athlete teams, and 143 individual athletes earned pins for meeting a 90 percent or higher academic threshold.

Track and field received extended attention. Presenter Mr. Louvera named sectional champions and state qualifiers including Riley Lynch, Leila Busri, Addie Morelli, Courtney Prowicki and others; several relay teams were listed as state or national qualifiers and some athletes were headed to state championships in Middletown or national meets in Philadelphia. Boys and girls teams, plus other spring sports, were similarly highlighted: the softball team was 19-2, won a regional championship and was scheduled to play in the New York state final four; baseball, lacrosse, tennis, unified programs and golf state appearances were also noted.

Coach Decker, speaking for the softball staff in Coach Parkinson’s absence, praised the team’s cohesion and resilience, saying the players “play the game the right way” and singled out senior leadership for bringing younger players along. The board invited teams and coaches forward for photos and brief remarks.

Board members and district leaders thanked coaches, athletic trainers, faculty managers and families for their support. Dr. Robinson and athletics staff emphasized that the district values both athletic achievement and academic performance.

The recognition segment concluded with reminders about upcoming championship dates for teams still competing and a request to continue supporting students as they prepare for final exams and graduation.","The Shenendehowa Central School District Board of Education recognized more than 700 spring-season athletes, named multiple sectional and state qualifiers, and spotlighted academic scholar-athlete honors at its meeting.","actionData","errors"]
