Meeting remarks said McCluskey began her career in September 1988 in career and technical education and later created new classes for the business department. Officials said she introduced DECA at the high school and produced state-level officers and national competitors. The district said McCluskey joined the school counseling department in February 2009 and has served as a school counselor since then.

On personnel items, the agenda included a settlement agreement and release involving an employee identified by a reference number (7673). The transcript also recorded clerical corrections to personnel listings, including name corrections and a title change for one staff member. A salary-change line was discussed in the transcript, but the numbers in the audio were not clear; the district did not provide a clarified dollar figure during the meeting.

Board members asked if there were questions on personnel; no public discussion was recorded beyond the clarifying corrections listed on the agenda. The items appeared on the consent or personnel portion of the agenda; no roll-call votes were described in the meeting excerpt.","The board acknowledged the retirement of a long-serving district employee, discussed personnel corrections, and noted a settlement agreement listed on the personnel consent agenda.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6658340,"Board discusses moving school year start earlier for AP testing, sports scheduling",87,4488000,4575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5022410-0320e901bcc93a639a9e1908017dc386&start=4488&end=4575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5022410-0320e901bcc93a639a9e1908017dc386/thumbnail_4488000.jpg","/articles/6658340/New-Jersey/Board-discusses-moving-school-year-start-earlier-for-AP-testing-sports-scheduling","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6658340-c8e2c47bb5df6552232afd7a096a20cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175468&Signature=kAXzdyD-nC5jHC~xdMQtAH~-ipFjREOJRWmJpcteVTGCwvARxFJcWYl1vmoPm~8JLA7mAifSicssBU44JgsNnnCFRBae9ypPMUqO~mnjEVJUj7EC~RLyY3XjRsquRJz2IOLPVbC3OzCyXsZn2IB5hakqk6PMo6dX7tX3yRU5l7~WaMFQjqe3v9PfJSNzQYxY7CHBUmKSoeVpjuPoiuOqCJolh-5rSXes-HOYVaYIPUK~Xi7xgV6ZIU4Solo~FsMkhelPAlMw0xPcQbL2Qe2wEGzHLddAi15KTSMXXP6QOnOWBSfP69a7VjQkt7H6TRRhr8HkA~Ddc~SALVIHhH6ung__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members and staff discussed the district calendar and a proposal to move the school year start date earlier than Labor Day.

A presenter said benefits of an earlier start include more time to prepare students for Advanced Placement examinations and additional days for state testing preparation. The presenter also said a shift to an earlier start has been driven in part by sports schedules that allow games before Labor Day and by end-of-year pressures associated with summer college orientation schedules.

Some board members urged more formal review of the proposal. One board member said the topic should be scheduled for a dedicated discussion so trustees and administrators have time to prepare. Another said the board should receive clearer calendar options and community feedback before making a change.

Speakers warned that shifting the calendar could push graduation later into June and complicate scheduling for families and seniors. A staff member said earlier starts can reduce late-June end dates but might create variable week-to-week schedules that families find difficult to plan around.

No formal motion or vote was recorded during the discussion. Board members requested that the superintendent or calendar committee bring the proposal back with alternatives and additional information at a future meeting.","Montville Township School District members debated an earlier school-year start to align with AP tests, state testing and sports schedules; some board members asked for formal policy review and calendar impact analysis.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6658344,"Montville High honors Class of 2025; district highlights national ranking",631,149000,780000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5022410-0320e901bcc93a639a9e1908017dc386&start=149&end=780","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5022410-0320e901bcc93a639a9e1908017dc386/thumbnail_149000.jpg","/articles/6658344/New-Jersey/Montville-High-honors-Class-of-2025-district-highlights-national-ranking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6658344-7b65f0c78b1885611c0b871c21d175ff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175468&Signature=knCxPnLgviSBAE~22~gkdFkNzGq7JjBxe8U2mddc7kPIJ~gKl3bJDGwhcsI~b-qlU7dB3w9ME~LIUPecSrdgGyqWL0BlHNXSI7mxjnICVN47xQ0RSu7wRdF8OW63vVy-zaovKl4tWm2Rq40I-on~Z0UuZgMYwUgV3s48K2ZqODK86J6LkAMqi7Arpd56gDtkyW0LC~rt5oopitXmqPLFXsE2sxvbtn6~WcXGS~IY62XQoW6KkEEfAQfMclI2qjUvDFR22VzBY9SnXvkkEFOtKPk5WBNx-ebGd8cmzB-5P4dx9cwRMuQqP3NocntHmYSDhQ6O95OTEagH~LdKnDA8pg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Montville Township School District marked the Class of 2025 with a short montage of videos and photos and presented senior awards, district officials said during the meeting.

The district recognized staff members Catherine Kasia and Serhithi Kantrella for preparing the event and acknowledged seniors who received local and state scholarships. Officials also named Gia Boutelle and valedictorian Sifio Hahn during acknowledgments.

District presenters noted that Montville High School was ranked No. 16 on a recently published list of the 30 best high schools in New Jersey. A speaker described the high school as serving about 1,200 students and highlighted advanced-placement course offerings, science labs, an arts center and updated classroom technology as strengths cited in the ranking.

Speakers said the school’s extracurricular offerings and a dedicated faculty contributed to the result. The remarks emphasized academic performance in mathematics and language arts and a range of programs in athletics, arts and community service.

The meeting included congratulations to seniors and thank-yous to staff and volunteers; no formal actions were recorded on the graduation ceremony or the ranking announcement.

District officials did not provide a full citation for the published list during the meeting, and the exact source of the ranking was described generically as a recently published list of top high schools.","Montville Township School District celebrated its Class of 2025 with a multimedia tribute and senior recognitions; district leaders also noted Montville High School’s placement on a national list of top high schools.","actionData","errors"]
