Board agenda and minutes can befound on our website.ANNUAL RE-ORGANIZATION MEETING – is held within the first two weeks of July,7:30 pm, Board Room (unless changed by Board resolution). Board officers are elected, salaries ofappointed officers fixed, and business policy matters are set for the forthcoming year.QUORUM – consists of four members. An affirmative vote of four members is required for actionto be taken. Abstention is considered a negative vote. The presiding officer may introduce or seconda motion and may vote on all issues. All official actions must be taken by resolution of theBoard at an open regular or special meeting.Although all meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public, the law makes noprovision for the public to make motions. However, the Board of Education encourages questionsand comments from those present at the appropriate time during the meeting.CODE OF CONDUCTIn accordance with New York State legislation recently passed in Albany, our Board of Educationhas established a Code of Conduct for the school district. This Code of Conduct is published inthe Agenda Book, given to all students in Grades 3 - 12, and will be distributed directly to parentswhose children are in Kindergarten, Grades 1 and 2.The Code of Conduct underscores the commitment of the Board of Education to provide asafe and orderly environment in which all children can learn and reach their potential. In orderto accomplish this goal, all members of the school community, teachers, students, parents, schooldistrict personnel as well as visitors to our buildings, must behave in a civil, respectful and responsiblemanner.The Code of Conduct clearly defines expectations of acceptable conduct on schoolproperty for students and all members of the school community. Students’ rights andresponsibilities are outlined. Board of Education and district policies, as well as buildingprocedures, are also explained.The requirements of the district’s discipline code and the possible behavioral consequences ofunacceptable conduct are outlined by educational level (elementary, middle and high school) inorder to ensure fair treatment for all when disciplinary action is required. A provision of the originallegislation permitting teachers to remove disruptive students from class is also clearly explained.This Code of Conduct is presented to and shared with all of the district’s faculty and staff.Students should review it with their teachers or guidance counselors. It is extremelyimportant, however, that parents also read and review it with their children. By workingtogether, all of us, with a shared understanding of what is expected of each of us, can create anenvironment which reflects good citizenship, mutual respect, tolerance and the principles of civilityfor all of Oceanside’s students.DELAYED OPENING PLAN FOR OCEANSIDE SCHOOLSThe Oceanside Board of Education has approved a “delayed opening” plan in case of inclementweather. A “delayed opening” might occur when it is obvious at 5 am or 6 am that a storm hasended or is about to end, the streets have not yet been satisfactorily cleared, but the roads shouldbe safe for travel within a few hours. By delaying the opening of school by two hours, we would beable to provide instruction to our students rather than close school for the entire day.A delayed opening would simply open all schools exactly two hours after they would normallyopen. The afternoon dismissals and bus schedules beyond the first two hours of the day wouldremain unchanged in all schools.TWO-HOUR DELAYED OPENING SCHEDULEFirst Bus PickupSchoolStarts atStartsSchool #6 – Kindergarten 10:45 am 11:30 am*Schools #2, #3, #4, #5, #8, #9E 9:40 am 10:15 amMiddle School 9:05 am 9:40 amHigh School 9:07 am 9:45 am*Kindergarten Valet drop-off would begin at 11:10 am.Breakfast and Morning C.A.R.E.S. programs would be cancelled.The School #6 Pre-K 8:30 to 11 am session would be cancelled. All other morningsessions would begin at 10:30 am and end at their regular time.EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGWhen weather or emergency requires closing the Oceanside Public Schools, the district willnotify parents via our automated telephone contact system, on our web site at oceansideschools.organd/or via announcements on WCBS radio (880 AM), WINS radio (1010 AM), and News 12Long Island (Cablevision’s Channel 12).When schools are closed for inclement weather, the bus company will not transport students toprivate, parochial and other special schools.
