The decision came in the form of a vote that followed a lengthy closed door session late Monday night.
Four members — Denise Millington, Jason Redd, Jane Rosenbaum and Gerald Truehart II — voted in favor of the measure, while only board member Mary Taylor Hayes voted against it. Both Roslyn Council, who joined the board at the same time as Daley, and new member Peter Heredia abstained.
Daley left the meeting before the vote and board member Sasa Olessi Montano was absent.
Daley’s son Christopher was hurt at Hedgepeth-Williams School Jan. 29 when he was hit in the head by a window opened by a female student, according to a Daley’s notice of tort claim, which reserves her right to sue the district.
