Holmdel board accepts four retirements and one resignation; approves grouped agenda items
Summary
The Holmdel Township Board of Education accepted three staff retirements and one district resignation and approved a block of routine agenda items in a single roll-call vote on March 26, 2025.
The Holmdel Township Board of Education voted unanimously March 26 to accept three staff retirements and the resignation of the district's assistant business administrator and to approve a block motion covering routine agenda items.
The board approved resolutions accepting the retirements of Jeanette Malizia (effective July 1, 2025), Joseph Cloris (effective July 1, 2025), and Deborah Wilkam (effective July 1, 2025), and accepted the resignation of Jessica D. Wysocki, assistant business administrator (effective May 16, 2025). Board members made the approvals during the meeting's action-items section after the superintendent read each resolution aloud.
Why it matters: these personnel actions formalize departures that the superintendent and board members had acknowledged earlier in the meeting and begin the district's transition planning for the 2025'26 school year.
Board members praised the departing staff during the discussion that followed the formal motions. The board also approved a grouped motion covering agenda items listed as 1'4 and 9'39 in a single roll-call vote before taking individual votes on the retirements and resignation.
Votes: each listed retirement or resignation passed on recorded roll-call votes. The roll-call for the grouped motion and the subsequent individual personnel resolutions showed affirmative votes from the board members present: Mister Reddy; Doctor Collor; Mister Mann; Mister Buckley; Mister Kim; Missus Lopresti; and President DeMari. Specific roll-call sequences were read aloud during the meeting before each item was declared approved.
What the motions said (as read at the meeting): the resolutions recited the employee's service dates and "Whereas" clauses noting faithful service, then resolved the board's acceptance of the retirement/resignation and extended best wishes for the employee's future endeavors.
Next steps: the board record will reflect the accepted resignation and retirements; the district will post or otherwise proceed with any required staffing or hiring steps consistent with board policy and state rules.
