An emotional East Hampton Town Board meeting Tuesday began with a two-hour public outpouring of support for the Latino community, mixed with confusion and countless questions about what ordinary people can do in the face of deportation threats from the Trump administration. Later, East Hampton and Sag Harbor Village officials and the East Hampton School District superintendent held a press conference emphasizing that all people should feel safe going to school or calling police and emergency personnel.

The East Hampton Town Board is looking to change the parking rules for several municipal lots in Montauk, adding a time limit at some that currently have no limit and making it easier for police to enforce restrictions where they do exist.

A proposal by Gov. Kathy Hochul for the state to cover the cost of school meals for all children could have a major impact on the Sag Harbor School District budget for 2025-26, the school’s business administrator, Jennifer Buscemi, told the board last week. But the largest part of the school budget is salaries and employee benefits.
