Summary
The board approved routine minutes and consent agenda items including hiring and policy updates, adopted an AI/academic integrity policy, accepted a personnel appointment and voted to enter executive session for superintendent evaluation
The Flemington-Raritan Regional School District Board of Education voted on a series of routine agenda items and personnel matters during the meeting.
The board approved minutes for the regular, executive-session and special meetings (with one amendment to the June 12 regular minutes) and approved board secretary and treasurer reports for May 2025. Following the consent-vote format used at the meeting, the board moved, seconded and carried multiple grouped items across instruction, operations & transportation, policy and miscellaneous sections.
Notable outcomes recorded in roll call votes included unanimous approvals (board members listed in the roll calls voted yes). The board confirmed the hiring of a new vice principal, Miss Comerford, with a start date referenced as August 18. Instruction items (listed as items 1–3 in the instruction section) and operations & transportation items (moved as items 1–11, with item 11 accepted as amended) passed on roll-call votes.
Policy committee business included a motion to adopt an academic-integrity/AI policy that reflected ad hoc committee work with administrators, teachers, parents and students; the board approved the policy and members acknowledged student input into an academic-integrity pledge.
A miscellaneous amendment added four infractions (all at J.P. Case) to a discipline/incident record and the board moved one miscellaneous action item; that amendment and the action item passed on roll call. The board also approved a transportation lease and related items; members asked and were told the lease documents include an attorney-reviewed termination clause should the district be able to find alternate space earlier than the lease end date.
At the meeting’s close, the board unanimously adopted a resolution under the Open Public Meetings Act to meet in executive session to discuss personnel matters including the superintendent’s evaluation; the resolution stated the board would not return to open session to conduct further business after executive session.
