In addition to approving the superintendent contract extension, the Holmdel Township Board of Education voted on a broad set of routine action items at the meeting, approving a group of personnel actions, retirements, nonmonetary and monetary donations, grants of appointments and three HIB (harassment, intimidation and bullying) appeal determinations.

Key outcomes:

- Personnel and appointments: The board approved the appointment of Arthur Howard to a district leadership role (assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction / academics and operations) and approved other personnel actions on the consent agenda. The board also approved an appointment to the position titled "assistant to the school business administrator" (this vote drew discussion and one board member voted in opposition to that specific position, arguing a part‑time hire might be more fiscally prudent).

- Retirements: The board accepted retirements from district custodial staff, including Kevin McNamara (effective 07/01/2025) and Michael Norton (effective 08/01/2025). The board read resolutions recognizing their service and approved acceptance motions by roll call.

- Donations and equipment: The board accepted a range of monetary and non‑monetary donations, including $13,041.10 from the Holmdel Foundation for Educational Excellence to fund 2025–26 mini grants, $7,950 from the Holmdel High School Class of 2024 to fund a new Hornet mascot costume, $500 from ExxonMobil Educational Alliance, equipment donations from the HomeDale Pep Band parent organization, a Promethean panel for Village School, and the HYAA donation to upgrade an outdoor volleyball court. The board also accepted a donation of 11 Promethean interactive boards earmarked for first‑grade classrooms at Village School (cost not to exceed $62,835).

- Athletics and extracurriculars: The board approved schedule B stipends and a vendor contract for strength and conditioning; trustees discussed athletic trainer contracting and the district's options after a vendor withdrawal and staff turnover. Board members said proposals received for athletic services were higher than prior contracts and that the administration is researching alternatives to maintain continuity.

- Student matters and HIB appeals: The board approved a confidential student settlement (action taken in closed session and approved on the public record) and affirmed three HIB determinations referenced as incident 290276 WSM03232025 (appeal numbers 1–3), each confirmed by roll call votes or recusals where board members had conflicts.

- Ethics training: The board received statutory ethics training from Tim Teehan of the New Jersey School Boards Association; the presenter reviewed the School Ethics Act requirements, disclosure statements, advisory opinions and penalties for noncompliance.

Where discussion occurred, board members asked clarifying questions about contract end dates, program continuity and fiscal implications; one member asked for additional detail on Schedule B athletics listings (years of service and cumulative cost) and for an updated participation percentage for student extracurricular involvement across middle and high school. Administration committed to follow up on those requests.

All routine consent agenda items included roll‑call votes recorded in the meeting minutes; the public record shows the motions carried by majority or unanimous votes among members present, except where individual items were called out for separate discussion or recorded abstentions/recusals on specific student or personnel matters.
