Summary
During the joint meeting, the board voted to appoint Fred Brewer to fill the vacant at-large seat on the Gloucester County School Board through Dec. 31, 2025; the board asked staff to schedule an immediate swearing-in.
The Gloucester County Board voted to appoint Fred Brewer as an interim at‑large member of the Gloucester County School Board, with a term ending Dec. 31, 2025.
The motion to appoint Fred Brewer was made during the boards’ joint session; a second followed and the chair called the roll. The board instructed the chair to notify the appropriate parties and to schedule a swearing‑in “ASAP with the goal of having Fred in place for the April meeting,” according to the motion recorded in the meeting minutes.
The appointment followed a closed‑session process. At the meeting’s reconvening the board certified that it had discussed only matters legally exempted from open‑meeting requirements under “subsection a of section 2.2‑3711,” the clerk read during the roll call certification.
Board members who answered in the affirmative during the roll call on the appointment included members who identified themselves as Mister Drew, Miss Parker, Mister Anderson, Miss Solomon, Miss Scruggs and Mister Sinovic; the clerk announced the motion carried. The board also thanked the other candidates who had submitted their names for consideration.
No public hearing or additional action was required to complete the interim appointment; staff were directed to notify the swearing‑in officials and arrange a ceremony. The appointment will remain in effect through the end of the stated term unless superseded by a later election or board action.
The board did not discuss any additional conditions or limitations on Brewer’s authority during the open session portion of the meeting.
