Our
july
20th
public
session-
and
we
all
stand
for
the
pledge-
please.
A
A
B
C
B
All
right
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
so
we
do
have
the
a
special
presentation
this
evening
the
board
of
education
wanted
to
honor
a
student
and
a
student's
mom
for
their
efforts
in
securing
food
in
a
newly
formed
pantry.
So
you
may
have
seen
this
in
newsday.
I
believe
it
was
just
this
past
week
the
title
says
says:
schools
help
fill
food
needs
and
I
want
to
tell
you
the
genesis
of
this
about
about
three
weeks
ago,
I
met
with
a
young
lady.
B
Her
name
is
amanda,
just
a
wonderful,
a
wonderful
person
she
actually
on
her
own
began.
B
She
actually
opened
food
pantries,
there's
one
in
central
iceland,
but
there's
also
one
right
here
on
third
avenue
not
too
far
from
central
administration
right
behind
the
small
white
church
and
what
she
did
was
she
secured
refrigerators
and
regular
refrigerator.
She
has
a
reef.
She
went
to
the
church,
the
church
said:
let's
put
it
behind
the
church,
so
they
they
actually
built
a
little
kind
of
cabinet
for
the
for
the
refrigerator.
B
They
also
set
up
some
shelving
units,
so
they
could
have
dry
goods
and
then
she
started
to
collect,
collect
food
and
she
literally
has
been
out
there
meeting
with
different
organizations
having
food
drives.
She
puts
stuff
out
on
social
media.
Obviously
I'm
not
I'm
not
good
at
that,
but
she's
done
stuff
on
facebook
and
instagram
or
whatever,
and
the
community
is
coming
out
now
to
you
know
to
this
refrigerator
and
it's
it's
open,
24
7.,
you
can
actually
swing
by
take
a
look.
B
It's
actually
has
a
beautiful
mural
on
the
front
of
the
refrigerator
and-
and
you
know,
community
members
go
in.
They
take
some
fresh
vegetables,
the
farm
over
at
st
joe's,
which
I'm
sure
everybody's
familiar
with
on
the
corner
of
brentwood
road
and
comac
road.
The
farm
over
there
donates
fresh
vegetables,
so
there's
fresh
vegetables
all
the
time
in
the
refrigerator.
B
But
what
I
I,
when
I
met
with
this
young
lady,
she
came
over
to
the
school
district
and
asked
if
the
school
district
could
donate
any
of
the
leftover
food
that
we
have
in
our
kitchens.
I
called
miss
grotzky.
She
said
that
she
would
set
it
up,
but
unbeknownst
to
me
at
the
time
and
to
a
lot
of
people.
Andre
took
it
upon
himself
with
his
mom
to
actually
go
to
different
schools
and
pick
up
the
food
themselves.
They
drive
over
there,
which
they'll
maybe
tell
a
quick
story.
They
drive
over.
B
There
pick
up
the
food
from
various
kitchens
that
are
still
running
the
that
have
the
food,
the
breakfast
and
lunch
program
here,
and
then
they
actually
drive
it
over
to
the
pantry
and
put
it
in,
because
that
was
going
to
be
one
of
the
hurdles
that
we
had
to
overcome.
How
would
we
get
our
food
to
the
pantry?
Well
guess
what
andre,
which
I'm
still
not
sure,
even
though
I
spoke
to
andre
this
morning,
I
don't
know
how
they,
you
know
stepped
into
this
and
said.
B
Let
me
take
it
on,
but
they
did
and
the
board
of
education
really
thought
it
was
necessary
to
honor.
You
know
andre
and
his
mom
dora.
B
So
we're
a
little
we're
a
little
far
away.
Do
you,
you
want
to
read
the
yeah
we're
going
to
come
down
we're
going
to
have
andres
and
dora.
If
you
could
come
on
up,
you
know
what
miss
palmer
you're
there.
Could
you
just
walk
them
to
the
mic,
introduce
andre,
andres
and
dora?
Maybe
they
can
say
a
few
words.
D
Okay,
good
evening,
everyone,
yes,
we
are
so
proud
of
andres.
Now,
are
you
andres
or
andre,
andre,
andre,
okay,
it's
andre,
and
he
is
also
an
mbk,
proud,
mbk
member
he's
active
in
the
school
community.
This
isn't
the
first
time
that
he's
volunteered
to
assist
or
get
an
innovation
off
the
ground.
We
are
super
proud
of
him,
he's
done
so
much
for
you
know
for
the
for
the
community
and

afl

for
the
period
from

through

I
need
a
motion
motion
motion
by
cindy
safiri.
C
G
B
Yeah,
absolutely
it's!
I,
you
know
what
I
am
going
to
explain
it.
Then
I'm
going
to
ask
miss
young
to
fill
in
the
gaps
of
my
explanation,
but
it's
actually
very
simple.
We
we
have
physical
therapists
as
well
as
occupational
therapists
who
we
contract
out
to
for
a
special
education
services
to
many
many
of
our
students
who
need
ot
and
pt.
B
It
would
be
advantageous
to
the
district
not
just
financially,
but
also
for
the
benefit
of
kids.
If
we
begin
to
bring
in
some
occupational
therapists
and
physical
therapists
on
staff,
where
they
report
to
us,
they
are
our
employees,
the
district's
employees,
and
that
way,
as
as
it
says
here,
they
will
report
to
the
assistant
superintendent
in
charge
of
special
services.
We
will
be
able
to
manage
them
from
the
moment
they
step
into
the
moment.
B
They
step
out
we'll
be
able
to
supervise
them
much
more
closely
in
terms
of
their
they're,
giving
the
services
to
our
students
so
long
term.
Our
students
are
going
to
benefit
because
we're
going
to
be
able
to
give
additional
services
using
utilizing
these
employees
and
also
financially
it
will.
It
will
also
reap
rewards,
I'm
trying
to
say
reap
rewards
for
the
district
as
we
move
forward
financially.
B
B
Oh,
their
job
will
be
working
with
our
children
if
there
are
any
special
education
parents
out
there
listening
right
now.
You
know
that
your
sons
and
daughters
have
occupational
therapists.
You
have
physical
therapists.
Well,
those
are
contracted
employees,
in
other
words
they
they're
from
an
outside
company.
They
come
in
they've,
been
doing
a
you
know,
a
very
solid
job
for
us,
but
I
think
long
term.
The
solution
for
us
is
to
bring
in
employees
of
the
district.
I
think
we
can
better
manage
it.
I
think
we'll
get
better
services
long
term
for
our
kids.
A
D1H
cse
cpsc
occupational
services
specialist,
be
it
result
that
the
board
of
education
hereby
creates
the
csc
cpsc

services,
specialist
position
effective
july
20th
2022
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
newly
created
position
shall
be
a
12-month
full-time
position
with
an
individualized
contract
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
table
of
organization
shall
be
amended
to
reflect
the
csc
cpsc
physical
services.
Specialist
position
shall
report
to

I'm

item
to
my
colleague,
hassan
ahmed.
F
Resolved
that
in
recognition
of
cultural
diversity
and
dietary
need
or
preference
of
the
student
body,
the
board
of
education
hereby

the

include
a
halal
food
option
intended
to
be
made
available
at
all
school
locations
and
during
all
meal
times
to
any
student
requesting

This
halal
food
option
will
be
made
available
starting
the
first
school
day
of
the
2022-2023
school
year.
G
B
Thank
you
miss
felix
okay.
This
is
usually
where
I
just
go
over
some
of
the
happenings
in
the
district.
You
may
think
it
is
july
and
there's
not
much
happening
in
brentwood.
Well,
that
is
not
the
case.
Actually,
we
have
literally
thousands
of
students,
still
attending
camps,
schools
really
just
all
over
the
district.
I
think
we're
we
have
six
or
seven
or
eight
schools
that
are
involved.
This
morning.
I
was
over
at
zion
north
elementary
today,
or
was
it
yeah.
G
B
Was
yesterday
no
no
that's
right
north
elementary
yesterday
and
it
was
south
middle
school
today
and
you
know
really
just
the
it's
just
fabulous
to
see
the
kids
in
a
different
environment
we're
still
going
over.
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you.
I've
walked
into
probably
about
40
50
classrooms
over
the
last
week
or
so,
and
the
ela
instruction
is
really
outstanding.
They
are
reading.
B
They
are
writing
they're,
doing
math
lessons
and
it's
in
a
kind
of
a
non-threatening
environment
where
I
really
believe
that
the
kids
are
getting
quite
a
quite
a
bit
out
of
it,
and
some
programs
are
three
weeks.
Some
are
six,
it's
obviously
to
address
learning
loss
if
you
will,
but
it's
also
for
advancement
as
well-
and
I
think
that
you
know
I
really
want
to
thank
the
teachers
that
are
that
have
volunteered
to
do
this
program.
B
I
also
want
to
thank
the
administrators,
who
are
there
also
giving
up
their
days,
and
I
think
that
we
are
we're
going
to
see
a
great
great
benefit
for
all
of
the
kids
that
are
involved
now,
I'm
going
to
just
read
you
a
little
bit.
I
think
you
probably
got
my
message
that
breakfast
and
lunch
is
available
monday
through
friday
for
any
school
age
student
up
to
18.
By
the
way,
that's
not
limited
to
brentwood
students.
B
H
B
We
have
six
sites
that
are
open
and
the
times
might
vary,
but
it's
about
8
30
for.
B
B
So,
as
I
said,
our
summer
programs
are
in
full
swing
at
the
elementary
and
secondary
levels.
In
addition
to
academic
enrichment
in
reading
and
math,
students
are
engaged
in
science,
experiments
in
team
sports
and
special
events.
Last
week,
and
this
week
we
had
an
arts
entertainment
for
our
children
in
a
live
puppet
show
and
there's
always
ice
cream
on
fridays.
Thank
you
miss
ortiz.
B
Tomorrow
there
will
be
two
concerts
at
the
freshman
center
at
9
00
a.m.
For
the
summer
music
program,
that's
over
at
the
freshman
center.
If
you're
there
you're
more
than
welcome,
I
believe
at
9
00
a.m.
We
will
have
the
green
machine
perform
and
then
we'll
have
all
of
the
different
levels
that
are
involved.
B
All
of
the
orchestras
and
bands
will
also
come
out
and
perform
in
the
freshman
center
gymnasium,
the
steam
camp,
which
is
really
wonderful.
I
was
there
this
week.
I
believe
it's
for
for
fourth
grade
this
week.
The
steam
camp
at
hemlock
park
starts
next
week
for
students
entering
grades,
six
there's
still
room.
So
if
you're
interested,
please
contact
miss
palmer
at
631-434-2496.
B
A
I
Before
I
ask
my
question,
I'd
just
like
to
congratulate
our
new
president.
Having
worked
with
her
in
the
past,
I
look
forward
to
her
tenure
as
the
president
of
the
school
board.
Congratulations.
I
Miss
malavey,
mr
hassan,
you
have
an
ex.
I
congratulate
you
also
on
your
investors,
the
school
board
members.
It
is
a
one
of
the
one
of
the
best
moments
of
my
life
was
serving
on
the
school
board
and
I
think
that
you'll
find
it.
The
same
dedication
is
extremely
important
eye
to
detail
and
compassion,
and
I
think
that
every
person
on
the
school
board
possesses
these
particular
thank.
I
You
I
wish
you
the
best
well.
I
do
want
to
ask
mr
lotion
when
mr
feliciano,
several
months
ago,
discussed
the
the
golf
team.
The
inference
I
drew
was
that
it
was
going
to
be
started
in
the
next
several
months
in
september.
Am
I
correct?
Was
I
incorrect.
B
Yeah,
no,
that
was
our
intention.
However,
section
11
had
a
different
idea.
When
you
are
applying
to
become
a
an
interscholastic
sport,
you
have
to
have
what
you
have
to
give
section:
11
one
year's
advanced
notice,
so
the
athletic
director
last
year
in
the
spring,
just
a
few
months
back
notified
section
11
that
the
brentwood
high
school
would
like
to
participate
in
boys.
Golf
in
the
fall
girls
golf
in
the
spring
and
so
we're
one
year
away
from
act
that
actualizing
okay,.
I
Because
the
infra
I
I
also
received
information
that
the
athletic
director
can
request
an
exemption
in
order
to
apply
this
to
the
fall,
and
I,
if
this
is
true,
I
certainly
would
think
it
would
be
very
worthwhile
to
use
this
avenue
as
a
means
to
an
end,
and
I
you
know
just
I
just
I
got
this.
I
heard
I
I
you
know
I
didn't
call
the
sec
section
11
I
would,
but
I
haven't
heard
this.
I
B
Right,
no,
no,
you
know
what
I'll
ask
the
athletic
director
tomorrow.
If
that's
the
case,
I
know
he
is
mr
fritz
looking
into
the
girls
sports
in
the
spring
and
the
girls
golf
in
the
spring,
because
we
do
feel
we've
given
them
enough
time.
I
believe
they've
already
put
together
the
fall
sport
schedule,
but
I'll
certainly
ask
you.
I
An
example
I
heard
you
could
get
a
waiver
right,
I
you
know,
and
I
certainly
I
think
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
hurt
section
11
to
have
one
of
the
largest
school
districts
in
long
island
pride.
The
largest
excuse
me
to
participate
in
this
sport
and
I
think
it'll
be
a
welcome
right.
Welcome
aspect.
No,
I.
B
Do
agree,
I
do
want
you,
as
you
know,
miss
fritz.
I
mean
our
gal
program
is,
is
really
quite
vibrant
right
now
it's
running
in
the
summer.
It's
actually
one
of
our
summer
programs,
mr
hudson's
running
it
at
one
of
the
middle
schools,
and
I've
been
out
to
that
too,
and
there's
really
dozens
upon
dozens
upon
dozens
of
students
who
are
participating.
He
does
fully
intend
whether
it
is
an
interscholastic
sport
in
the
fall
he's
still
going
to
run
it
with
the
high
school
kids
and
middle
school
kids.
B
He
will
practice
on
certain
days.
He'll
travel
over
to
the
bretton
country
club
as
well
as
heartland
and
so
he'll
still
be
playing
with
the
kids
and
having
them
practice
whether
we
can
get
them
into
a
schedule
in
the
fall
I'll
ask
you
know
again
the
athletic
director,
but
that's
that's
what
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
continue
with
this
program?
Well,.
I
I'll
leave
you
with
this.
I
played
brentwood
country
club
last
week
and
any
golfer
when
they
say
that
the
golf
course
is
in
such
great
shape
that
you
can
play
the
ball
down,
speaks
volumes
and
for
one
of
the
large
one
of
the
most
popular
golf
courses
in
long
island,
you
can
play
the
ball
down.
The
place
is
in
great
shape
and
I
encourage
you
to
see
what
can
be
done.
Okay,
thank
you.
Mister,
thank
you
and
good
luck.
A
G
J
A
J
Okay
yeah,
my
name
is
desiree
thomas
and
I
am
from
brentwood,
and
this
is
my
son,
how
you
want
to
say
your
name.
J
Yes
and
thank
you
very
much
for
letting
us
speak
and
congratulations
to
all
the
new
members,
I
always
like
a
fresh
face
because
I
always
have
a
lot
to
say,
but
I
promise
never
to
speak
on
anything
that
I
don't
have
a
solution
to.
If
that's
fair
enough,
so
one
thing
that
I
do
want
to
bring
up
is:
I
did
speak
to
miss
lerner.
Thank
you
very
much
for
following
up
with
me
on
the
block
party.
Did
you
receive
that
I
did?
I
did
okay
awesome.
J
Well,
as
a
former
president
of
the
interx
club
in
my
year
at
brentwood
high
school,
I
actually
wanted
to
see
if
I
could
call
or
see
if
you
guys
would
be
willing
to
have
the
members
of
the
interact
club,
the
band
and
the
step
team
participate
in
our
block
party.
Currently,
we
are
working
to
get
a
parade
permit,
but
we
are
going
to
be
parading,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
guys
in
our
last
meeting.
So
is
that
something
that
we
can
coordinate
and
how?
B
Okay,
if
you
could
speak
with
mr
perez
I'll
also
let
him
know
that
you're
interested
in
terms
of
getting
a
band.
You
know
a
choir
somebody
out
there
on
the
first
date.
This
is
august
28th.
Is
that
right?
Yes,
no
august
28th,
I
was
in
roberto
clemente
park
the
other
day
I
pulled
in
just
to
take
a
look
at
the
skate
park.
Yes,.
C
J
Yeah,
so
we
weren't
actually
involved
in
the
skatepark
project.
So
we're
not
exactly
your
question
actually
was.
Was
I
thinking
of
having
it
coordinated
with
that?
And
I
don't
have
the
information
for
that.
The
block
party
was
something
that
we
do
each
year.
J
So
you
know
we
have
been
in,
I
mean
speaking
with
them,
but
we
can't
really
predict
the
weather,
so
we're
not
sure,
but
we
would
love
for
it
to
be
open
at
that
time,
but
I'm
not
100
sure
yet,
but
we
are
involved
in
the
skatepark
project
as
max
actually
skated,
and
I
actually
learned
that
cindy
of
sun
also
skateboarded
the
original
spot,
which
we
also
were
part
of
putting
together
before
it
actually
was
taken
away.
J
But
this
is
a
safer
way
and
I'm
super
excited
about
that
and
I'm
happy
to
see
some
of
our
board
members.
That
also
were
a
part
of
that
and
be
able
to
bring
that
because
it's
important
for
brentwood,
which
also
brings
me
to
my
next
thing,
about
the
skateboarding
jam.
I
shared
with
you
guys
last
time
that
malachi's
had
the
opportunity
to
skate
at
woodward
and
he
actually
does
have
a
lot
of
sponsors
and
influencers
who
support
him.
J
So
we
did
want
to
actually
implement
the
programming
and
I'm
not
100
sure
if
I
understood
what
the
last
person
was
saying
about
implementing
that.
But
we
did
have
the
skateboarding
jam
and
I
did
want
to
see
if
you
got
the
pictures,
because
I
know
everyone
was
asking
about
that
and
I
did
send
them
to
you
over
with
the
flyers.
J
So
I
did
want
to
confirm
if
you
got
that,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
that
going
so
that
the
kids
can
benefit
from
it,
because
this
is
going
to
be
big
for
for
them.
Yes,.
B
J
B
Know
his
he's
the
the
coordinator
of
performing
in
fine
arts-
I
don't
know
his
number
offhand,
okay,
but,
as
I
said
I'll,
let
him
know
to
expect
your
call,
miss
thomas,
and
you
know
I'm
not
sure
about
the
date.
You
know
obviously,
he'll
have
to
reach
out
to
you
know
the
green
machine,
for
example,
or
you
know
some
of
his
music
teachers
to
see
if
they're
available
on
the
28th.
J
Okay,
yeah
and
perez
right,
okay-
and
I
know
my
time
is
coming
so
the
last
thing
I
guess
on
my
list
that
I'll
choose
is
the
nutrition
concerns.
I'm
actually
excited
oh
andre
left,
but
shout
out
to
eileen
bodega,
because
they're
very
important
in
the
community
myself
as
a
nutritionist
after
leaving
brentwood,
I
have
graduated
from
university
of
delaware
and
I
am
a
nutritionist.
So
nutrition
is
important
for
ourselves
and
our
community
so
shout
out
to
the
halal
food,
which
is
also
important
to
bring
everybody
equal
choices.
J
Bodega,
yes,
that's
why.
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
yes,
eileen
bodega
is
there
and
I'll
also
support
them
with
formula
this
summer,
but
that's
another
thing
I
just
wanted
to
actually
address
the
actual
nutrition
concerns
that
we
have
like
within
the
district.
As
I
know
that
you
know,
my
kids
do
attend
the
district
and
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
there
were
any
shifts.
J
I
know
I
read
some
things
here
on
the
agenda,
but
you
guys
kind
of
skipped
over
it,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
what
shifts
are
we
making
to
some
better
food
options
for
the
kids
for
nutrition?
D
J
A
gender
item
are
you
referring
to?
Well,
I
just
see
that
I'm
just
saying
that
I
see
that
there
are
some
nutrition,
like
you
guys,
have
addressed
certain
things
with
nutrition
in
here,
but
I
just
wanted
to.
It
doesn't
seem
like
one
of
the
things
of
addressing
the
actual
food
options,
so
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
that
was
something
that
has
been
mentioned
before
and
if
there's
any
changes
currently
for
that.
Okay.
B
That,
okay,
a
couple
of
things
just
to
comment,
miss
thomas
a
lot
of
times
on
the
agenda.
You
will
see
in
terms
of
food
you'll,
see
the
board
of
education
approve
contracts
with
various
vendors.
So
when
you
see
stuff
like
that,
that's
that's
what
that's
about
so.
B
Year
we
go
in
and
we
say
we're
going
to
contract
with
this
vendor
for
different
food.
I
will
tell
you
that
the
board
of
education
is
extremely
focused
on
the
food
and
does
want
to
that's
why
the
halal
resolution
this
evening.
B
B
Anything
so
yeah.
That
is
something
that
we're
focusing
on.
You
know
to
try
to
bring
in
different
food.
There
are
obviously
limitations
as
to
what
we
can
serve
because
there's
you
know,
there's
actually
strict
guidelines
that
the
food
service
has
to
follow.
But
you
know
we're
also
looking
we're
hiring
two
head
cooks
and
what
we
hope
to
do
with
those
two
head
cooks
is
have
them
travel
too.
B
We
have
19
kitchens
in
the
district,
so
what
we
want
to
do
is
one
of
the
things
that
miss
o'connor-
and
I
have
spoken
about
for
a
while,
along
with
the
board,
is
that
we
hire
two
head
cooks
to
travel
the
district
and
be
more
hands-on
on
a
daily
basis.
So
we
can,
we
can
actually
we
can.
We
can
actually
coordinate
all
of
the
kitchens,
because
right
now,
sometimes
the
kitchens
prepare
food
in
different
ways.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
uniform
preparation
to
the
food-
and
you
know
we
really
believe
in
terms
of
that
middle
management
we'll
be
able
to
better
serve
the
kids,
have
meals
that
are
more
relevant.
You
know
that
the
kids
are
going
to
enjoy
more
we'll
conduct
more
surveys.
We
did
conduct
some
surveys
towards
the
end
of
the
year,
so
we
can
prep
for
next
year.
B
We
had
you
know
the
the
food
service
went
out
and
conducted
a
few
surveys
in
different
buildings,
so
we
kind
of
you
know
saw
some
things
that
we'd
like
to
bring
in
for
next
year,
so
we
really
hope
that
these
two
head
cook
positions,
middle
management,
kind
of
really
make
an
impact
on
the
preparation
and
the
and
the
presentation
we
also
too.
I
I
think
you
probably
have
heard
where
also
we
put
money
aside
to
redo
all
of
our
kitchens
and
cafeterias.
B
So
really
the
cafeterias,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
focus
on
is
updating
our
cafeterias,
because
we
really
do
believe
kind
of
the
experience.
Just
like
a
restaurant
in
our
own
homes.
We
want
to
walk
into
something
that
we're
proud
of
and
that
kind
of
really
gets
the
kids
into
lunch
or
breakfast
right,
and
so
we're
committed
to
kind
of
redoing
the
cafeterias
across
the
district.
I'm
not
going
to
say
it's
happening
this
summer,
but
it's
something
that
we
we
are
contracting.
We
have
to
get
architects,
obviously
sed
involved,
but.
C
H
No,
that
was
thorough,
but
we
have
some
more
bids
coming
as
well
to
bring
on
different
food
items,
we're
part
of
57
school
districts
that
kind
of
come
together
and
put
out
a
bid
that
way
we
get
the
best
price
because
we're
bidding.
You
know
a
lot
of
food
out
all
at
once.
So
that's
what
you
know
you've
seen
on
the
agenda
thus
far.
J
Okay,
thank
you
just
really
quick,
because
I
know
I'm
over
my
time,
but
I
just
want
to
know
how
I
get
those
qualifications
for
those
two
head
cooks.
H
Called
the
senior
cook
and
if
you
go
on
the
suffolk
county,
civil
service
website,
okay,
you'll
see
a
list
of
all
titles
under
civil
service
and
look
for
senior
cook.
