The Westbury Union Free School District Board of Education conducted and recorded a series of formal motions on Oct. 22, approving minutes, agenda items and personnel hires in a block vote and taking follow-up votes after an executive session.

Key votes and procedural actions:

- Approval of minutes (Sept. 9 and Sept. 16, 2025): Motion moved by Vice President Floyd Ewing and seconded by Dr. Plesk Dickerson; vote recorded as unanimous (ayes recorded for Trustees McTia Flores, Michelle Wilson, Rodney Keynes, Dr. Plesk Dickerson, Vice President Floyd Ewing and Board President Robert Treano).

- Motion to go into executive session to discuss personnel: Moved by Vice President Ewing, seconded by Trustee Michelle Wilson; roll call recorded ayes and the motion carried. The board recessed to executive session for personnel discussion and later returned to public session; the transcript contains no substantive details about the personnel matter discussed in executive session.

- Block vote of agenda items (action meeting agenda items in a single motion, excluding 6EE which was withdrawn and excluding 6L and 6CC): Motion moved by Vice President Ewing and seconded by Dr. Dickerson; the motion carried unanimously and included the hiring approvals that were subsequently confirmed.

- Approval of items 6L and 6CC (personnel items): Motion moved by Trustee McTia Flores and seconded by Vice President Ewing. Trustee Michelle Wilson announced she would abstain from voting on these two resolutions "due to family ties." The remaining trustees voted aye and the motion carried.

- Item 6EE (withdrawn earlier) was moved back onto the agenda after executive session (motion by Trustee Wilson, seconded by Dr. Dickerson) and approved by recorded ayes; the motion carried.

- Motion to rescind item 6FF: Moved by Trustee Rodney Keynes and seconded by Vice President Ewing; motion carried unanimously.

- Final procedural votes: motions to come out of executive session and to adjourn were carried by recorded ayes.

Why it matters: the block vote and subsequent separate votes finalized a series of hiring and administrative actions for the district and recorded an abstention on personnel-related votes, which the board noted in public session for the record.

Ending: board president and trustees offered routine acknowledgements and welcomed newly hired staff whose appointments were confirmed in the meeting block vote.
