Key approved items the board recorded by roll call:
- Acceptance of retirement: Michelle Davidson, Holmdel High School teacher, retirement effective Dec. 1, 2025 (motion moved and seconded; roll call recorded). The board members on the record voted to accept the retirement.
- Acceptance of retirement: Jaron Harkness, Holmdel High School staff, retirement effective Oct. 1, 2025 (motion moved and seconded; roll call recorded).

- Appointment/stipend: Board approved a prorated stipend appointment for head of maintenance and head of grounds (each prorated salary $7,779.20 effective retroactively from Sept. 8, 2025 through Jan. 1, 2026; language in the agenda indicated final 25/26 salary to depend on completion of negotiations with HTEA).

The board also approved by block vote a set of consent agenda items described in the meeting as items 1–5, 9–17, 19–47 and 52–57; the transcript indicates those items were approved by roll call as presented on the agenda. Several items were read individually earlier in the meeting and then voted as part of the overall consent slate.

Why it matters: The actions formalize personnel changes, accept community and corporate support for extracurricular programs, and set short-term compensation measures for key maintenance positions pending negotiated salary schedules.

Votes and procedure: Each item above was moved and seconded when read into the record and approved by roll call. The transcript shows board members on the record saying “Yes” during roll calls for these agenda items. Where the agenda provided account or value details (for donations and stipend amounts), those figures were included in the motions read into the record.

No items were identified in the transcript as defeated or tabled at this meeting.
