Summary
The West Windsor-Plainsboro Board of Education approved routine administration, finance and personnel items, accepted eight retirements and approved minutes with a recorded abstention on the Jan. 28 and Dec. 10 closed-session minutes.
The West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District Board of Education voted to approve administration items 1–5 (plus the purple addendum), finance items 1–11, and personnel item 1 (plus the green and pink addenda) during its public meeting. The board also accepted eight retirements and approved minutes from Jan. 28 and the Dec. 10 closed executive session, with one or more abstentions recorded on the minutes vote.
Board members conducted the votes by roll call. Members recorded as voting "yes" during the administration, finance and personnel motions included Miss Krug; Miss George (recorded in the transcript with variations); Miss Maliga; Miss Shaw; Miss Shetty; Miss Bridal; Miss McKeown; and, on the personnel vote sequence, Miss Fonsel. The meeting transcript shows the motions passed; mover and seconder were not specified on the record.
The board read and thanked eight retiring employees whose service totals were recorded in the meeting: Diane Chiocha, French teacher at Grover (24 years); Rhonda DeWitt, Spanish teacher at Grover (25 years); Deborah Goodkin, language arts teacher at High School North (35 years); Linda Scanlon, teacher resource specialist for instruction and intervention (35 years); Ann Marie Weilich, German teacher at Grover (26 years); Angela Frasier, instructional assistant at High School South (24.5 years); Arvid Allen, math teacher at High School North (28 years); and Lee Petrone, secretary at Wyckoff (27.5 years). The board publicly thanked the retirees for their service.
On minutes approval, the transcript records at least one board member saying, "I abstain from January 28 ... I also abstain from December 10." The speaker is not clearly identified in the transcript lines available; the abstentions were recorded before the chair closed the minutes vote.
No public comments were made during the meeting's public-comment periods; the first was opened and closed with no speakers, and the second public-comment block likewise had no speakers.
