Board resolves to remove student from district rolls unless residency appeal filed
Summary
The board voted to remove student ID 35004222 from the district roster 21 days after notice unless a timely appeal is filed with the commissioner of education.
The Ridgefield Park Board of Education adopted a resolution (new business item 16-01) on Feb. 19 directing the removal of student ID 35004222 from the Ridgefield Park Public School District rolls 21 days after the notice of final ineligibility unless the student’s parent or guardian files a timely appeal with the New Jersey Commissioner of Education.
The resolution, read into the record by the board secretary and moved by Trustee McNeil, authorizes the board secretary to prepare the necessary notice of final ineligibility with assistance from the board attorney and to inform the parent or guardian of the decision. The motion passed on roll call; the transcript records eight trustees voting yes and President Martinez absent.
Why it matters: removal based on residency or eligibility affects the student’s continued enrollment in the district and can be appealed to the state Commissioner of Education as the resolution states.
Ending: The board directed the board secretary and legal counsel to prepare and send the notice of final ineligibility; the 21-day removal timeline begins upon issuance of that notice unless an appeal is filed.
