Votes at a glance: Lacey Board approves routine agenda items, accepts donations and advances personnel actions

The Lacey Township Board of Education conducted multiple roll-call votes on routine agenda items during Monday’s meeting, advancing minutes, bills, transfers, facilities and finance items, transportation payments, donations and personnel actions. Several items were tabled or recorded with recusals and abstentions.

Key outcomes (motions approved unless noted): - Minutes (agenda A1): motion carried; one board member (Mrs. Walker) recorded an abstention on the September meeting minutes because she said she had been absent from that meeting. - List of bills (A2): approved by roll call. - Transfers (pages 28–34): approved by roll call. - Facilities and finance items (A5–A12): approved. - Transportation items (agenda items 13–19): approved; agenda item listing a $72,671.55 payment to Fedcap School in West Orange was among transportation items discussed during public comment. Board member Mr. Connerty recused himself on item 18 and the roll call otherwise showed majority approval. - Donations: board accepted listed donations; one board member abstained on the Lacey Football Foundation donation. - Certificated personnel: several certificated personnel items were approved, but the board tabled items E1, E3, E12, E13 and E14 for lack of a quorum to vote on those specific items. - Non-certificated personnel: approved after one clerical correction to a discretionary no-pay/with-benefits line item.

Meeting close: A motion to adjourn was approved at the end of the regular session.
