Sayreville board moves into executive session to discuss personnel, superintendent evaluation and student matter
Summary
At its July 30 meeting the Sayreville Board of Education voted to enter an executive session under the Open Public Meetings Act to discuss personnel matters, the superintendent’s evaluation, a student matter and attorney-client privileged issues; the public was excluded and the board indicated the topics will be released when nondisclosure is no 長
The Sayreville Board of Education voted July 30 to move into executive session under Section 8 of the Open Public Meetings Act (Chapter 231, P.L. 1975) to discuss personnel matters, the superintendent’s evaluation, a student issue and attorney-client privileged matters.
The presiding official said the meeting notice had been distributed to the Home News Tribune and the Star-Ledger, that copies were sent to the borough clerk, and that a notice was posted on the bulletin board outside the secretary’s office. “In accordance with Chapter 231, P.L. 1975, this public meeting of the Sayreville Board of Education has been established by sending a copy of the public meeting notice to the Home News Tribune and the Star-Ledger,” the presiding official said.
A motion to move into executive session was made and seconded; the board then conducted a roll-call vote approving the resolution to exclude the public. The resolution identified the general subject matter to be discussed in closed session as personnel, including but not limited to agenda items, the superintendent’s evaluation, a student matter and matters falling under attorney-client privilege. The presiding official said it was anticipated the subject matter would be made public when nondisclosure was no longer required.
Board members recorded on the public roll call and recorded as voting “yes” on the executive-session resolution in the transcript were Mr. Callahan, Mrs. Napolitano, Mrs. Pabone, Ms. Pylock, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Bloom. The board’s public-notice steps — distribution to the newspapers listed and posting at the secretary’s office — were read into the record before the motion.
No substantive public discussion of the topics named was held in open session; the board’s action was procedural to permit confidential discussion. The meeting then proceeded to the closed portion as announced.
The board did not state a time or date for when any or all of the matters would be released from nondisclosure; the presiding official said the items would be made public “at such time as a need for nondisclosure no longer exists.”
