The Croton-Harmon Board of Education convened a special meeting Tuesday evening that consisted almost entirely of a two-hour executive session to discuss confidential personnel and student matters.
Board President Ana Teague called the meeting to order at 6:06 PM with six members present 1. The board quickly moved through preliminary business, approving the meeting agenda after making one notable modification 2.
Before entering executive session, the board amended the agenda to add discussion of "an exempt subject(s) involving a confidential student matter regarding a particular student" to the planned personnel discussions 3. The motion to approve the modified agenda passed unanimously with all six present members voting in favor 4.
The board then entered executive session at 6:08 PM to discuss "matters leading to the employment of a particular person" in addition to the confidential student matter 5. The motion to enter executive session was made by Neal Haber and seconded by Sarah Carrier, passing with unanimous support from all present members 6.
During the executive session, Board Trustee Theo Oshiro joined the meeting remotely at 6:18 PM, bringing the total number of participating board members to seven 7.
The executive session lasted over two hours, with the board returning to open session at 8:14 PM 8. The motion to leave executive session was made by Neal Haber and seconded by Theo Oshiro, with all seven members voting to approve 9.
Immediately following their return to open session, the board voted to adjourn the meeting at 8:14 PM 10. The adjournment motion was also made by Neal Haber and seconded by Sarah Carrier, passing unanimously 11.
The board took no public action following the executive session, which is typical when discussions involve confidential personnel or student matters that cannot be disclosed publicly under state education law.
The meeting's focus on both employment matters and a confidential student issue suggests the board was addressing sensitive situations requiring closed-door deliberation. Executive sessions are legally permitted for discussions involving specific personnel decisions and student disciplinary or confidential matters.
All seven board members who participated in the meeting - Anamika Bhatnagar, Sarah Carrier, Neal Haber, Omar Mayyasi, Theo Oshiro, Allison Samuels, and Ana Teague - voted consistently on all motions throughout the brief public portions of the meeting.
