The presenter described ongoing work across four strategic pillars including student engagement, communication, multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), and operations. \"We will remain committed to MTSS as a consistent goal and initiative,\" the administrator said, and added that teams are meeting regularly, using tools such as Branching Minds and LinkIt to guide interventions.

Board members and administrators discussed community outreach and communications as a major area for continued focus. Several trustees said they want clearer, consolidated communication for families (for example, a monthly \"one-stop\" summary or \"Hand-in-Happens\" bulletin) and better ways to measure engagement across platforms such as ParentSquare and Schoology. Trustees raised concerns about the number of platforms families and students must navigate and asked administration to examine usage metrics and to pursue student-informed approaches to outreach.

Technology and curriculum topics also featured in the conversation. District staff said Schoology (a learning management system) is used at the high school level as part of a plan to prepare students for college/work platforms; administration noted plans for more training and potential transition activities for incoming ninth-graders. The district said an annual online parent consent/FERPA form will be required in Canvas in August to manage family acknowledgements and access to schedules.

Administrators asked board members to complete a brief reflection form to capture observations about goal progress and suggestions for next year; the administration said it will use board input, stakeholder feedback and an administrative retreat to draft goals for 2025–26. The district's shared-goals tracking sheet will be updated and made available on the district website.

The board's discussion emphasized continuing and refining community engagement, improving communications clarity and expanding real-world student experiences; administrators said those priorities will be considered during goal-setting activities over the summer.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOE 06-18-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Administrators presented a year-end progress update on strategic goals and sought board feedback for 2025–26 priorities, highlighting communication, MTSS, student engagement and technology integration; trustees discussed outreach, Schoology/Canvas transition and thought-exchange feedback.","taxTitle","HENDRICK HUDSON CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",38698,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6179494,"Board appoints Dr. William Xavier Toro as Blue Mountain Middle School principal",115,1733000,1848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5127545-e9185eaee7b3bef02a1da1aed2ebd03f&start=1733&end=1848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5127545-e9185eaee7b3bef02a1da1aed2ebd03f/thumbnail_1733000.jpg","/articles/6179494/New-York/Board-appoints-Dr-William-Xavier-Toro-as-Blue-Mountain-Middle-School-principal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179494-5b46d804bfb40caf87e601162e3c1d87/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983579&Signature=US1n3BT52WgfGFwwBm1ddIYLD5JShtujoB63wkqv3IRnCtDDISEEfJrOpE8SBWBKBaY9byMjptNQjZOJHv04If~EldqH9oqHzuq15UoIvkhUXVpOCgoH11LIPAjeosDWTiDvasjOeogSdH8O3-PNK~k99uE4K4qcmX3FQ62qxAPLvY6A9hEB9IeE6l3vej-Z-k8hzRk7f2S9cwadzF1aIecZ4FXzhdtJe2M4ZoCCCWddiZjmR6fDDE4PpyS3K8n3oTA0fj-jhsdUU7MhmFhgIC~6FNoXbeX8Ix2PXoZndcMQNw9mZbzEFyuvr9~rsjSE9IKjdT4ZD~jFkzU00D9xNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hendrick Hudson Board of Education on June 18 appointed Dr. William Xavier Toro as principal of Blue Mountain Middle School.

\"It is an honor and it is a humbling experience to be your next principal at Blue Mountain,\" Dr. Toro said after his appointment was announced, thanking the board, district staff, and his family for the welcome. He told the board he was \"truly excited and honored, and I can't wait to start the work.\"

The appointment was made under the consent-agenda personnel section after the board pulled several items for discussion; the motion to appoint Dr. Toro was moved and seconded during the meeting and approved by the board. The district noted Dr. Toro will join the district immediately and will take part in transition and orientation activities with staff.

Board members and administrators emphasized his record of educational leadership and the role the principal plays in supporting student growth, staff collaboration and community engagement. The board requested Dr. Toro come forward to say a few words and to be publicly recognized; family members joined him at the meeting.

The appointment will be recorded in personnel actions for the 2025–26 school year and the district expects to announce start-date and onboarding details through the personnel office.","The Board of Education appointed Dr. William Xavier Toro as principal of Blue Mountain Middle School and heard brief remarks from the new appointee.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6179499,"Hendrick Hudson board establishes retirement and liability reserves and approves temporary finance continuity position",827,1995000,2822000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5127545-e9185eaee7b3bef02a1da1aed2ebd03f&start=1995&end=2822","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5127545-e9185eaee7b3bef02a1da1aed2ebd03f/thumbnail_1995000.jpg","/articles/6179499/New-York/Hendrick-Hudson-board-establishes-retirement-and-liability-reserves-and-approves-temporary-finance-continuity-position","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179499-77c1831186c8d649fa6dda1ac87a24bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983579&Signature=jVFjF0B5cILAA0meW-sBbvd049lGJugylQbOPl8VCamf9K1N7UX9wgwQu9ZQcVAlnCbpbyN2lnVee8UuljCSz9JKSAbufQ0C4FRNVhq7Z5VEQPaZc5DP4I5uh2K~NwR-gtphO59drd0KNxiL2w~nX5Z28~cm88mZdFDN~osQ2bqPjc~OYvdW4tSV2JxPHDmz~Vr4fV5-1ZzDyzi8~0kpQQNgQQucRhBrMa7wsNyD5Y3lB3Z-WeFmFi4n5Ez8NDxGAXyaYNNCxgWRjXKDb3ppZqZMMCfsXFO0N2YdECxVj~gA8IpfIhfDA9nGMiQmDemEmHKLtrel49NdeQHvu4qaFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education on June 18 approved resolutions to establish several restricted reserve funds and authorized a temporary position to support the business office transition ahead of the new assistant superintendent for business taking office.

Interim Assistant Superintendent for Business Jill Figueroa explained the measures as part of a strategy to stabilize district finances amid revenue pressures, including the loss of Indian Point funds. \"We're making a conscious effort to provide financial projections to make sure that there's long term financial stability,\" Figueroa said during her presentation.

The board voted to create three reserves: an employee benefit accrued liability reserve (EBLR) for accrued employee obligations such as unused leave; a retirement contribution reserve fund with an associated subfund for Teachers' Retirement System (TRS); and a teacher/employee retirement reserve. Figueroa noted statutory limits for the teacher retirement reserve, saying annual contributions \"are limited to 2% of the compensation that we pay to teachers annually, and we can't exceed 10% of that over time.\" The board approved establishing the reserve structures; dollar amounts will be finalized after the fiscal-year audit in August.

The board also approved a temporary, limited-term position titled assistant to the superintendent for financial continuity and controls, proposed to support transition work between the outgoing interim business officer and incoming assistant superintendent for business, Kimberly Roaring. The board authorized the role \"not to exceed 120 days\" to provide continuity during audits, financial closeout, and onboarding, with administration noting the role was recommended in prior internal audits.

Board members asked for clarity on mechanics and amounts; administration said the resolutions established the legal vehicles and that recommended amounts will be produced after the district closes out the fiscal year and completes the audit. Figueroa said she would recommend realistic \"up to\" amounts in June to allow auditing processes to proceed and would finalize the exact transfers in August when audit results are complete.

Actions recorded at the meeting authorize the district to create the reserve accounts and to use end-of-year surplus and contingency funds as allowable and reasonable sources to seed those reserves. Administration said auditors will review amounts and may advise adjustments. The board approved the motions by voice vote during the meeting.","Board approved creation of three reserve funds (employee benefit accrued liability reserve, retirement contribution reserve fund and TRS subfund) and a temporary assistant to the superintendent for financial continuity and controls to support a leadership transition and audit-driven recommendations.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6179504,"Hendrick Hudson board approves districtwide safety plan after public hearing",268,1272000,1540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5127545-e9185eaee7b3bef02a1da1aed2ebd03f&start=1272&end=1540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5127545-e9185eaee7b3bef02a1da1aed2ebd03f/thumbnail_1272000.jpg","/articles/6179504/New-York/Hendrick-Hudson-board-approves-districtwide-safety-plan-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179504-3eb466b8169735d224eda620281d78b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983579&Signature=Z8vRf2RerYTWmpd0BLsYHfCH68Vu3kbvIS8n3MBALzzMVHGW9ZTaiNgIr5R7Vlaj6IYOblM8YFTkopc9fbokmo5sxTOXfLIzMrXAhMbmbgfwlx2SwC0zkrVTOQG5cdPHr16ldMkOwV-m95corcj-Os1vo4M5BJ6S4s-jXlqMRkXmILfRzQZxEa5o6IaQ3oDxcurvINU168eWKPopWQMM0pMN5gQmnBqDE1wk483yE2If~kXODa3m81s6vzZvvXlV1RTy3ePLXs9ZqD8VqDdGoMb3Wpy8cOYuTUXo1bWWYpMyLkS8YcyoY5KVxDD4c1VuBywy6YpIazDHvs-k4LbhvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a June 18 meeting, the Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education voted to approve the districtwide safety plan following a public hearing and a roughly 30-day public comment period.

The plan \"is the forward-facing safety and security posture of the district,\" said Mr. Trombley, a district administrator who presented the proposal and fielded questions during the hearing. He said building-level safety plans will remain confidential and \"are reviewed at the building level. The Board of Education reviews them in a confidential manner as well.\" The districtwide plan, he added, will be posted online for public review.

The hearing was part of an annual review process. Trombley told the board the districtwide plan was developed by a stakeholder committee that meets monthly and includes board members. He said the committee is led by a outside security consultant, Amanda Dosvakam Moskalo. \"We review annually how our district responds to various safety and security events,\" Trombley said. He clarified that the districtwide plan sets the overall posture while confidential building plans contain site-specific procedures and later will be submitted to the state after board approval.

Board President Susan Mills opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke during the hearing. After discussion, the board moved and seconded a motion to approve the districtwide safety plan draft and voted in favor. There were no recorded roll-call objections during the meeting record on the vote.

The board and administration stressed that building safety plans would not be released publicly because they contain operational details. Administration said those building plans will be approved and submitted to the state in a later, confidential review. The district will post the approved districtwide plan on its website and continue to convene the safety committee for ongoing review and updates.

The district also noted that the safety plan work is coordinated with annual updates to the code of conduct; the board will address the code of conduct in the policy section of a subsequent meeting.

Implementation: administration said building-level plans would be finalized and submitted to the state after board action. The district encouraged the public to review the districtwide plan on the district website and to provide input when future comment windows open.","The Hendrick Hudson Board of Education approved the districtwide safety plan after a public hearing and 30-day comment period; building-level safety plans will be reviewed and submitted to the state later.","actionData","errors"]
