Student representative Emily Lang delivered the student government report, naming the month’s student recognitions: Jakayla Huff (Art Student of the Month, digital graphics), athletes of the month Aden Buechler (golf) and Kamora Hall (track), writer of the month Sofia Raffalidis, and ROTC cadets Pauline Lorano (NS‑1), Dominic Tirito (NS‑2) and Elizabeth Whisner (NS‑3). Lang told the board the student council received the NJAC “community smile” award at the NJAC spring convention for community service contributions from ROTC and National Honor Society participants. “After graduation, I will be continuing my education at Rutgers University New Brunswick Honors College where I will be double majoring in political science and African American,” Lang said.

The board and administrators presented teacher-of-the-year and support-staff recognitions from multiple schools. Presenters highlighted accomplishments and backgrounds for honorees including Miriam Rodriguez Chavez (teacher of the year), Corey Wright (custodian), Mary Anne Seges (teacher of the year, Green Grove Elementary), Amanda Grace (teacher of the year, Gables Elementary), Ty Goodman (educational support member of the year), Janie Sue Masco (support staff of the year), Kathy Barish (in‑class resource recognition), Joe Lupo (teacher of the year, Neptune Middle School), Tim Jopes (teacher of the year at another school), Orla Murphy (support staff of the year), and others named by principals and building leaders. Presenters emphasized longevity, instructional impact, classroom leadership and contributions to school climate.

Administrators also noted district recognitions outside the meeting: Neptune schools were named “Best Community for Music Education” for the 10th consecutive year, and alumna Ivy Harrington, Miss New Jersey, will attend the district’s high-school graduation.

The board applauded the honorees and thanked staff for their service. The recognitions were ceremonial acknowledgements and not motions for board action; the meeting then proceeded to the consent agenda and roll-call votes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5/28/2025 - Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board recognized teachers and educational support staff from across the district and heard a student-government report highlighting monthly student awards, arts honors and Emily Lang’s plans to attend Rutgers University New Brunswick Honors College.","taxTitle","Neptune Township School District, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",60465,"location","New Jersey","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6220259,"Neptune Township Board of Education approves consent agenda, including minutes, finance and personnel items",547,2602000,3149000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3617945-821152d6190ad57678d63b7b0e33c89a&start=2602&end=3149","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3617945-821152d6190ad57678d63b7b0e33c89a/thumbnail_2602000.jpg","/articles/6220259/New-Jersey/Neptune-Township-Board-of-Education-approves-consent-agenda-including-minutes-finance-and-personnel-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6220259-8575f928364bea30d45e65a0a4cf9853/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185401&Signature=TmxERlcWA-riIvuSztoinJkOXEFZMxmuLm6h6N4bqjUfapyr7-9g3jLjusSsKNNhmGkGCCrwrDpZfI3FQnCCb7-XB8mdheGezIFcbOD5-db4hRMp6GV-IdL5oz2Ng~uDT8tg9l6g9uegPulfwqMxBS8-CrpC-2tEEJW7eyfOheO5AFtUnb2gt0V-CwngyT6D0AAOGqsxbis89q~dinKqZOGChSFVWFWxD01jq7EsJFI8-4yz1o98yXGzx2TpTcCRZbHE6jcvBRXiaCKorIStHDTnQ4nT1ZmMZhcGEV3IvL29O6QP67czDReN1jludX4WnAgQ6VdIKGijqkC0XeAE9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Neptune Township Board of Education approved a multi-part consent agenda at its public meeting, voting to adopt minutes, superintendent recommendations, finance, transportation, special-education items, student activities and personnel actions as presented by the administration.

The actions were presented as bundled motions and carried by roll call votes. Vice President Thompson moved approval of the minutes for the district’s April meetings; the motion was seconded by Board Member Puryear. Board Secretary Dela Sala recorded that Board Member Harris abstained on the April 30 minutes and voted aye on the other minutes; other members recorded aye votes, and the minutes motion was adopted.

Superintendent-recommended items under the superintendent’s report (document A, items 1–13) were moved by Board Member Hubbard and seconded by Board Member Jones; the roll call recorded all ayes and the motion passed. Finance items (document B‑1, items 1–15) were moved by Jones, seconded by Hubbard, and approved by roll call. Transportation items (document B‑3, items 1–2) were moved by Board Member West and seconded by Vice President Thompson and were approved. Special projects and special-education items (documents C‑1 and C‑2) were moved and seconded by committee members and adopted by roll call.

A large personnel slate (document D‑1, items 1–102) was moved by Board Member Morgan and seconded by Board Member Jones; roll call reflected recorded ayes with one abstention noted earlier in the sequence. The board also approved the schedule of meetings as presented.

Board members prefaced the votes with a procedural explanation of how items reach the public agenda: administration reviews items with the superintendent, items are referred to committees for vetting, and committees then recommend items to the full board for action. The board did not receive public comment during the allotted public-comment period; the presiding officer closed public comment after calling for speakers.

The approvals complete routine governance steps needed to implement superintendent recommendations and district operations, including personnel assignments and program authorizations contained in the documents filed with the board.

Less-critical items that were part of the consent bundles included student-activity authorizations, special-education contracts and transportation contracts; the board did not discuss these in extended debate during the meeting.","At its public meeting the Neptune Township Board of Education unanimously approved the superintendent’s recommended consent items across several categories; one board member recorded a limited abstention on an earlier meeting minute.","actionData","errors"]
