Board President Ana Teague called the meeting to order at 6:09 p.m. Six members were present: Anamika Bhatnagar, Sarah Carrier, Neal Haber, Theo Oshiro, Allison Samuels and Teague.
After approving the agenda on a motion by Sarah Carrier, seconded by Allison Samuels, the board approved agreements for services between the Croton-Harmon Union Free School District and two Universal Pre-Kindergarten providers for the 2026-2027 school year — one with Childrenspace North, on a motion by Neal Haber, and one with A Rising Star, on a motion by Carrier, each seconded by Samuels. Each agreement passed with all six members present voting yes.
At 6:17 p.m., the board entered executive session to discuss what the minutes describe as an exempt subject involving a confidential student matter regarding a particular student. The motion to enter was made by Theo Oshiro, seconded by Samuels. The board returned from executive session at 8:37 p.m. — two hours and 20 minutes later — and adjourned at the same time.
The minutes were generated by District Clerk Denise Bisaccia on May 27.
