Rogers Middle School fields. Nina Barberino, who lives on Black Gumtree Lane behind RJO and WTR, said the amplified metronome and constant daytime practice \"has not 1 minute of peace\" for nearby households and urged the board to move the group off-site.

\"The entire neighborhood finds ourselves praying for rain every weekend,\" Barberino said, describing continuous Saturday and Sunday practice from 10 a.m. until about 7:30 p.m. She asked the board to address the issue and invited board members to experience the noise at her home.

Doctor Egan and other administrators responded that they had been in communication with residents and that a solution had been worked out that day. Egan said he believed the group would not be practicing at William T. Rogers that coming weekend and that the district had identified an alternate site; he said he would confirm details with residents the following day. \"I do not believe they'll be practicing this weekend at William T and as I indicated, we are trying to move them to a different site,\" he told the speakers.

Administrators reiterated the district's requirement that any group using district facilities maintain current insurance and follow rental procedures. Residents present said they would follow up with board members directly if problems continued.

Outcome: administrators said they had secured an alternative location and would contact residents with specifics; no formal board action was required at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOE Meeting 6 17 25","oneSentenceSummary","Nearby residents told the board that an out-of-town drum corps practicing at William T.

The draft policy would remove the district's prior carve-outs for passing time and lunch and would require building-level procedures, on-site storage options and communications to parents before the September start of school. \"The law is very specific,\" Doctor Egan said, noting the statute also requires the district to post the policy to its website by Aug. 1 and to provide one or more on-site storage methods such as student lockers.

Why it matters: the law narrows when students may use phones and other internet-enabled devices and will change day-to-day routines for many secondary students. Egan told the board most of the immediate impact will be on ninth-, tenth- and eleventh-grade students, who are accustomed to phone use during passing time and lunch.

Board members and administrators discussed implementation approaches that ranged from no-cost options (lockers, backpacks) to paid solutions (locking pouches, mini-lockers or software that would lock/unlock devices). Egan said community feedback from a district survey (about 40 responses) favored no-cost approaches roughly three-to-one over paid solutions. He also said the state budget included $13,500,000 intended to help districts, but \"the state has yet to make a mechanism where districts can apply for that money.\"

The draft preserves statutory exemptions Egan described: use for an authorized instructional purpose, management of a student's health care needs, emergency use as defined by the school or district, language-translation assistance and case-by-case allowances for students who are caregivers or where use is otherwise required by law. He said building procedures will need to address how teachers and administrators approve instructional uses and how parents can contact students during the school day.

Egan said the district is exploring technology solutions: ParentSquare is developing a feature to let parents message a student through the district-managed Chromebook rather than a phone. The district will produce a Q&A for families this summer and return with a second reading of the policy on July 1.

Discussion vs. decision: the board received the first reading; no policy vote was taken. The superintendent's office will draft building-level procedures and a Q&A for parents ahead of the July 1 second reading and the statutorily required Aug. 1 posting.

Next steps: second reading and vote set for the board's July 1 reorganization meeting; building procedures and family communications to be developed during the summer.","Doctor Egan presented a first reading of changes to the district's acceptable use policy to comply with state law banning student use of internet-enabled devices during the school day on school grounds.",{"_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},6183838,"Kings Park board declares lead agency for energy performance contract, finds project a SEQRA Type II action",192,3030000,3222000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093618-271e22beccf513acc8b2532425737b5e&start=3030&end=3222","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093618-271e22beccf513acc8b2532425737b5e/thumbnail_3030000.jpg","/articles/6183838/New-York/Kings-Park-board-declares-lead-agency-for-energy-performance-contract-finds-project-a-SEQRA-Type-II-action","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183838-5392ada79b65d3c5c2763e284ddde700/orig.mp4?Expires=1771026676&Signature=Dvn6hoa3fkz2WRpn3E09j2FZ4D4rUe6QSmJhNv~B4LLDzfdjOug4dsQPMI5EkHgR3L~k36~jL~JHSfMso0q-NEKPssJFHvbCfdsm~xmQreRF~iCA~WaDAYY4vQlY1Jux0B3NW~C-ar13nkeZZ4jFfMW0NbhKUQTcCkgsdrJlhPlCqG60pd0TDaAbgOs881E0OdlWgMkr7F6-lUhWec1VHsE5wVPDzirbx0eXgqm1JmFsjuJVf8-bGgcXsw9tVbpYucY0mol~-J3vM~NhYMuVwV-0TZzrb3ANOX-IKvAZYC8ZFYNk7-Q248Bks7mYM2-Rm3aWun7bloaJ2xcxieDq9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Education voted to declare itself lead agency for a district energy performance project that includes a boiler replacement at RJO Intermediate School and two renewable-energy carport solar photovoltaic installations at William T. Rogers Middle School and the RJO parking lot. The resolution designated the improvements as an energy performance project and found the work qualifies as a Type II action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), meaning no further environmental review is required.

Doctor Reagan presented the resolution and read the project description and the SEQRA citations. The resolution states the district's energy improvements fall under Type II categories in 6 NYCRR 617.5 (replacement/rehabilitation in kind; installation of solar arrays on existing structures or parking lots where physical alteration does not exceed statute thresholds). The board declared itself lead agency, determined the project to be Type II and resolved to forward the resolution to the New York State Education Department along with correspondence from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

Why it matters: the action clears a procedural environmental review step and allows the district to proceed with detailed planning for boiler replacement and solar carport installations. Administration also said the project is intended to improve energy efficiency and add renewable generation capacity on district property.

Next steps: district engineering and energy consultants will proceed with implementation planning and necessary submittals to state education and historic-preservation offices as indicated in the resolution.","The board voted to declare itself lead agency for a district-wide energy performance project that includes boiler replacement and solar carport installations and resolved the project is a Type II action under SEQRA, requiring no further environmental review.",{"_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},6183843,"Kings Park board approves noncontract pay rate and base salary increases for non-aligned employees",64,1222000,1286000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093618-271e22beccf513acc8b2532425737b5e&start=1222&end=1286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093618-271e22beccf513acc8b2532425737b5e/thumbnail_1222000.jpg","/articles/6183843/New-York/Kings-Park-board-approves-noncontract-pay-rate-and-base-salary-increases-for-non-aligned-employees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183843-45b59c9d66c12b2e3f53c5004582382a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771026676&Signature=SOwW1S4DL6xs-V0165F1Yq-xOOpcHnpv7O8To9Gh5xFCfFxlO-4mJrRxoW45W7~XhElu0yTV~w1fgXvvy9WSDxO6lnkzXZFpTSKDgGR0NUVQ0Q60-n2eflyurZH~~aqkgRpD8MoW6s3rtFutAnbsolEYpFXCvr7NsklExItA9SlwjMonTCJNU43d-x8kdRhVHXg8gU4m~X1k9iqN8OHy4ymsDxIopOJC1xsojDZonXJAxLnXWj6q9KuVbMaTSEyV7uupQ8Qo2AqKBlIdXg-2dcLg0PGn9kO3Y7yhbnWUOT04Jl8gjqmnkWe~F3fBeoengjMadCgU5efzBTpxtqJ0PQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Presiding board members moved and approved two personnel items: the noncontract pay rate for the 2025\u0010\u0016 2026 school year and base salary increases for a set of non-aligned district employees.

Cartesana said the district's discipline committee reviews the code annually. The highlights presented included deleting graffiti from level 4 because it was also listed in level 5, adding a required written self-reflection under dispositions for levels 3, 4 and 5, and clarifying that discipline guidelines apply to all students with age-appropriate recommendations for behaviors such as no gossiping, appropriate footwear for gym/recess and proper Chromebook care. \"Each year, our district wide discipline committee meets to review our code of conduct and come up with any recommendations for changes,\" Cartesana said.

The board moved and approved the recommended changes during the meeting; the president read the resolution and members voted in the affirmative. Board discussion that preceded the vote praised collaboration with parents, faculty and administrators to align the code with district values.

What changed: removal of the duplicated graffiti classification, a new written self-reflection component for higher-level infractions, and a footnote confirming discipline expectations cover all grades with age-appropriate language. Administration said the changes codify practices already in place in some classrooms and will be communicated to families.

Implementation: building administrators will incorporate the revised conduct guidelines into school handbooks and annual notifications to parents.","The Board of Education approved second reading and adoption of recommended changes to the district's code of conduct, including removing a duplicate graffiti classification, adding student written self-reflection options for higher-level infractions and specifying that discipline guidelines apply across all grades with age-appropriate language.","actionData","errors"]
