The New Rochelle Board of Education voted to appoint Rolando Sabri as clerk pro tem, voted to enter an executive session on personnel matters, and approved multiple consent-agenda items at its summer meeting.

President William Iannuzzi asked for a motion to appoint Rolando Sabri as clerk pro tem; Board member Clayton Fernandez moved and the motion carried after an "Aye" vote. Later, Iannuzzi asked for a motion and second to go immediately into executive session "to meet with district council and discuss the employment history of particular persons, which may lead to the employment of a particular person." The motion to enter executive session was moved by Williams and seconded by Clayton Fernandez; the motion carried. The board reconvened the public session later in the evening after the executive session; Samuel Lewis moved and Williams seconded the motion to reconvene, and the motion carried.

During the public session the board approved consent-agenda personnel resolutions (numbers 26-82-1 through 26-86-27) on a motion by Lewis and second by Clayton Fernandez, and approved general-resolution consent items (numbers 26-87 through 26-103) on a subsequent motion by Samuel Lewis and second by Clayton Fernandez. All motions recorded in the transcript carried after "Aye" votes.

Iannuzzi announced the board27s next meeting will be Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the high school (the district office was unavailable because of construction). The meeting adjourned after a final motion; the transcript records the usual "All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries."
