The board met in a late executive session to discuss a request for proposal, which board President Nathan Rothschild said was missing when the board hired D’Agostino on Nov. 18. A request for proposal allows law firms to bid on a contract, providing the board members with a variety of choices before a final decision can be made.
After the executive session, Rothschild said the board requested a report from the district clerk about hiring regulations that the members will review “at some point in the very near future.”
The hiring of D’Agostino, who is being investigated by state District Attorney General Andrew Cuomo for his alleged role in improperly accepting more than $600,000 in state pensions, was approved Nov. 18 in a 5-3 vote.
By appointing D’Agostino, the board was also dismissing the district’s longtime attorney, Stephen Fromson, who has held the position for 33 years.
On Dec. 2, before a crowd of about 450 residents, the board announced the hiring of Feerick, Lynch and MacCartney, a Nyack-based firm, to counsel the board on D’Agostino’s hiring. Also, a parent has asked the state education commissioner to reverse the hiring.

Mr. Weider, thanks for this great speech, this is a true kiddush hashem.
We wish you much hatzlacha.
As someone who was there yesterday, I’ll tell you what missing from the Journal News article.
The mood yesterday was much calmer than the previous two sessions. The most of the non-Jewish attendees were very polite and most of them agreed that Wieder and Company are doing a great job.
The issue here is very simple.
I live in Chestnut Ridge, I pay an unbelievable huge sum in school taxes to educate ‘their’ kids. Most of them live in Government housing or in condos and pay close to nothing.
So, because I pay for their kids’ education, they will have to listen to me and to my elected representatives on how to spend my money carefully.
You are not happy with this fact? Change the system in the US, so that only those who send their kids to public school have to pay school texas. Then you will be able to decide what to do with your own money, or better: Enact school vouchers so that every child benefits from these school texas.
