Board members discuss confusion over PTO "trunk-or-treat" volunteer sign-up
Summary
During new business one board member said they were told the board had volunteered to staff a PTO trunk-or-treat activity without full board awareness; other board members discussed possible participation.
In new business a board member said they had been told the Bound Brook Board of Education had been volunteered for a PTO trunk-or-treat event without the broader board’s prior knowledge.
A board member asked Mister Gianuzzi to clarify because, as the speaker put it, "I went home and I was told, hey. The board of ed has volunteered to have a trunk at our trunk or treat," and said they had not been aware of that commitment. Mister Gianuzzi responded that he did not recall making an unauthorized volunteer commitment and noted that PTO organizers had been active with fundraising and events; he encouraged other members to participate if they wished. Board members discussed the idea informally and referenced past participation but did not record a formal vote or directive.
The exchange was recorded as part of new business; no board action was taken and the matter remained a topic for informal coordination with the PTO.
