He served through one of the most difficult times for all of us \u2014 the COVID pandemic \u2014 and his leadership during that time of president on this board,\u00a0\u2029and his always steady and thoughtful consideration of the issues facing this board, have been instrumental in the district&#8217;s successful navigation of financial, educational and regional challenges over the past several years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We know that Brian has been facing some personal issues, and that is the reason he decided to step down from the board in the middle of this \u2014 his third term as an elected board member.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Some questioned why the board did not act sooner regarding Brian&#8217;s board seat.\u00a0In respect for Brian, his contributions to this board and the Riverhead community \u2026 we felt it was warranted and the right thing to do was to give Brian as much time as possible to make his decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We will now move forward, considering an appointment to fill Brian&#8217;s board seat until the end until the next trustee election, May 2026.
