Debra Mule is new Freeport school board president
by Mark Treske
The Freeport Board of Education re-oig&
nized for the 2012-13 school year on
July 11 at Atkinson, naming Debra Mul6
president and Vilma Lancaster vice pres-ident.
Ms. Mute was sworn in as a trustee
after her May re-election, and after a
one-hour break for a closed Executive
Session the president and vice-president
were elected and sworn in.
The board then moved through a
lengthy list of appointments and author-izations.
Among these appointments
came the naming of an external auditor
(Coughlin, Foundutos, Cullen &
Danowski), an internal auditor
(Nawrocki Smith), an internal claims
auditor (Deans Archer & Company) and
an accounting firm to prepare financial
statements (D'Arcangelo & Co.) When
questioned by Frank Grossman as to the
financial training of the board and why
the district needs four accounting firms,
Superintendent Dr. Kishore Kuncham
replied that the first three are required
by law and the financial statments firm
was in the interest of efficiency and
openness necessary to a large district
with a large budget.
The Leader and the Long Island
Graphic were named the district's two
official papers. Former school board
member Carmen Pineyro encouraged
the board not forget to use local Spanish
language media for such purposes, as
well as outreach to the Hispanic com-munity
on the district website.
New board member wanted
The newly reorganized board then
commenced an action meeting, which
.included a resolution honoring Debra
McQuillan, who resigned from the
board effective June 30, as well as
accepting her resignation. Trustees were
effusive in their praise: Mike Pomerico
- "A great loss to the district and the
board"; Ron Ellerbe - "Her contribution
to the board is remarkable"; Vilma
Lancaster - "I learned a lot from her, she
had a great passion for education."
President Mule promised to follow the
principles that Ms. McQuillan stood for.
Dr. Kuncham then explained that the
district had three options by law: leave the
spot vacant, hold a special election or have
the board appoint a replacement for the
remainder of Ms. McQuillan's term (until
June 30,2013). He then outlined the proce-dures
that will be followed:
Interested candidates must submit a
resume and a letter stating why they are
applying - by July 31 - to the district
office at 235 North Ocean Avenue.
Applicants must be: 18 years old, able
to read and write, be a U.S. citizen and a
legal resident of the district for at least
one year prior to appointment. They
cannot be an employee of the district,
must be the only family member on the
board, cannot hold an incompatible
political office and must not have been
removed from a school district office
within one year preceding the date of
appointment.
The nominating committee will then
interview some Candidates and make a
recommendation to the board. It is antic-ipated
that the committee's recommen-dation
will be considered by the board at
its August meeting, rescheduled for
Tuesday, August 21, at the high school.
