The amendment followed a public comment by DeCero, who told the board, “I don't have a problem with the job being put in there, but it needs to be recognized that this is work that already is being done by secretarial units. That is part of our agreement, so they just have to be paid that rate.” Board members and staff responded that the intent was to create a short‑term student position to provide experience in business office workflows, not to replace existing secretarial positions.

Board members said the item was time‑sensitive because the district currently lacks an assistant business administrator and wanted to preserve the option to hire student help over the summer. President DeMare announced a resolution to amend agenda item 40 to add the eligibility language: “high school senior / rising senior or college student in the first 2 years of study.” The motion to amend was moved by President DeMare and seconded; the roll call vote on the amendment was recorded as unanimous in favor (see vote record below). After the amendment was added, the item was included in the consent/action vote block later in the meeting.

Board discussion also included a request from the union representative for advance courtesy notification when job descriptions affecting bargaining‑unit work are brought to the agenda. District staff acknowledged the oversight in communication and said language clarifying the role as a student position would be added to the job description before final appointment.

The amendment is a formal direction to staff to revise the job description to include the student‑eligibility sentence; the board recorded the amendment and approved the amended item in the meeting’s action items.

The board accepted the retirement of English teacher Margaret McDonald, who submitted a notice effective July 1, 2025, and of physical education teacher Deborah Emery, effective Oct. 1, 2025. The retirement resolutions were read into the record and approved by roll call.

The board also accepted a $2,500 grant award from the New York Post designated for Holmdel High School and approved $7,210 in funding through a grant application for optimal comprehensive universal screeners (the “FOCUS” grant). Both grant approvals were read on the agenda and passed on roll call votes with board members recorded in favor.

All three action items (the two retirements and the two grants) passed on roll call votes as presented in the meeting packet; no dissenting votes were recorded for these items in the transcript. The board did not alter project budgets or appropriate new recurring funds during the approvals; the grants were accepted as one‑time awards on the record.

Superintendent Dr. Cascon opened the program and invited the board to join administrators in presenting awards to visual and performing arts educators, choral and instrumental instructors, and student performers. President DeMare said the recognitions reflect staff mentorship and the “home” the teachers provide for students to thrive.

Honorees included teacher and staff recognitions in theater, band, choral and visual arts (examples named during the program included Dr. James DeVivo, John Koryat, Shannon Minuccia, Trina McCarthy, Christina Nigro, Dr. Christy Rizzo and Katrina Roberts), and district visual‑arts teachers such as Carly Glenn, Catherine Smith, Rianne Lean and Nicole Byers. Cascone and board members cited the district’s performing arts facilities — including a dance studio added under a $40,000,000 referendum — when praising program work.

High school and club honors included the robotics team members and advisors, with named students and teacher mentors recognized onstage; the Garden State Esports team was acknowledged for back‑to‑back state championships under coach Mr. Moore; and the high school presented awards for All Shore and All State ensembles. Athletic recognitions included individual winners in golf, lacrosse and track (Ryan Quigley, Serena [last name not specified in the transcript], Jack Powers and Lucas were among those honored), with Jack Powers noted in remarks as the first New Jersey player to eclipse 1,000 career faceoffs.

Elementary and middle‑school awards were presented by building principals for Village School and Indian Hills School, including Continental Math League, National Language Arts League and county contest winners. Village School’s third‑grade team was read as a national second‑place finisher in the session. Indian Hills students were recognized for poetry and county history contests and county math league results.

Board members and administrators emphasized the range of extracurricular and academic opportunities — from theater and music concerts at the Duncan Smith Theatre to student television production work and a district art show — and thanked district support staff who prepared certificates and presentations.
