Summary
At its Jan. 6 reorganization meeting the Mount Olive Township Board of Education administered oaths to three newly elected members, elected Lisa Narcisse president and Lisa Fenton vice president, and voted to table committee and representative assignments until the next meeting.
The Mount Olive Township Board of Education on Jan. 6 administered the oath of office to three newly elected board members — Jennifer Aquino, Anthony Giordano and Lauren Fitzgerald — and then elected board leadership for the 2025 term.
Board attorney read the oath and administered it to each newly elected member. After the oath, the board took nominations for president and vice president. Lisa Narcisse was nominated and elected board president by roll call. Lisa Fenton was nominated and elected vice president by roll call. The transcript records one abstention (Lauren Fitzgerald) in the president and vice president votes and several members voting no on the president and vice president ballots; both leadership nominations carried with a majority vote.
The board also voted to table a set of representative and committee assignments (agenda items 2.3, 2.4 and committee items 3.1–3.17) to the next meeting. The president directed board members to submit their top three or four committee and representative preferences within a week; the board secretary will compile nominations and the board will vote at the next meeting.
The meeting included routine reorganization votes and approval of minutes and monthly expenditures. Several routine motions (approval of reorganization items 8.1–8.17, minutes 9.1–9.2, and expenditures 10.1–10.4) were approved by roll call as recorded on the transcript.
The board then moved into confidential session for matters described as attorney–client privileged and confidential personnel matters, and later returned to open session to continue administrative business.
