The HenHudSchools Board of Education meeting on June 6, 2025, focused on several key topics, including the development of a new policy regarding device usage in schools and updates on administrative hiring processes.

A significant discussion point was the requirement for school districts to create a policy by August 25, which will outline the permissible use of devices in educational settings. This policy must consider input from staff, students, and other stakeholders, and will include exceptions for educational purposes, emergencies, medical needs, and legal obligations. The district has already begun drafting this policy and plans to release a draft by early July, with opportunities for community feedback through surveys and updates.

In addition to the policy discussion, the meeting addressed the ongoing search for three administrative positions: the principal of Blue Mountain Middle School, the principal of Hendrick Hudson High School, and the director of Physical Education, Health, and Athletics. The search for the high school principal has attracted 65 applicants, and the selection process is moving forward, with interviews anticipated during the board's reorganization meeting.

The board also discussed the appointment of a new transportation supervisor, who is set to start on June 23, and the ongoing search for a treasurer in the business office. An audit is scheduled to begin next week, with preparations already underway.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the district's commitment to developing inclusive policies and ensuring strong leadership in its schools as it prepares for the upcoming academic year. The board emphasized the importance of community involvement in shaping educational policies and maintaining transparency throughout the hiring processes.
