The Cliffside Park Board of Education voted to appoint Dr. Leticia Pantoliano to fill a board vacancy effective immediately. The resolution on the record named the applicant and cited board policy 0143 and a statutory citation in the New Jersey statutes concerning board vacancies.

After the board approved Resolution 64, members administered the oath of office to Dr. Pantoliano in open session. The resolution states the appointee will serve until the 2026 reorganization meeting. A roll call recorded affirmative votes from multiple members and noted one or more members absent at the time of the vote; the chair congratulated the newly appointed member following the vote.

The transcript of the meeting contains inconsistent spellings of the appointee’s surname in several places in the record; the board read the resolution aloud and then conducted the oath in public session.
