The Neptune Township Board of Education approved a multi-part consent agenda at its public meeting, voting to adopt minutes, superintendent recommendations, finance, transportation, special-education items, student activities and personnel actions as presented by the administration.
The actions were presented as bundled motions and carried by roll call votes. Vice President Thompson moved approval of the minutes for the district’s April meetings; the motion was seconded by Board Member Puryear. Board Secretary Dela Sala recorded that Board Member Harris abstained on the April 30 minutes and voted aye on the other minutes; other members recorded aye votes, and the minutes motion was adopted.
Superintendent-recommended items under the superintendent’s report (document A, items 1–13) were moved by Board Member Hubbard and seconded by Board Member Jones; the roll call recorded all ayes and the motion passed. Finance items (document B‑1, items 1–15) were moved by Jones, seconded by Hubbard, and approved by roll call. Transportation items (document B‑3, items 1–2) were moved by Board Member West and seconded by Vice President Thompson and were approved. Special projects and special-education items (documents C‑1 and C‑2) were moved and seconded by committee members and adopted by roll call.
A large personnel slate (document D‑1, items 1–102) was moved by Board Member Morgan and seconded by Board Member Jones; roll call reflected recorded ayes with one abstention noted earlier in the sequence. The board also approved the schedule of meetings as presented.
Board members prefaced the votes with a procedural explanation of how items reach the public agenda: administration reviews items with the superintendent, items are referred to committees for vetting, and committees then recommend items to the full board for action. The board did not receive public comment during the allotted public-comment period; the presiding officer closed public comment after calling for speakers.
The approvals complete routine governance steps needed to implement superintendent recommendations and district operations, including personnel assignments and program authorizations contained in the documents filed with the board.
Less-critical items that were part of the consent bundles included student-activity authorizations, special-education contracts and transportation contracts; the board did not discuss these in extended debate during the meeting.
