The Roxbury Township Board of Education completed a slate of consent and action items at its July 14 meeting, approving grouped finance, education, policy and personnel resolutions and recording several recusals.
Finance: The board moved and passed Finance Resolutions 1 through 55 on a consolidated roll-call vote. The motion was moved by Carol and seconded by Eddie. During roll call several members recorded individual recusals on specific line items (recusal details were noted in the public roll call and minutes). The board clerk confirmed the block vote passed.
Education: The board took a separate consolidated vote on Education Resolutions 2 through 9 after the Gender Queer item was resolved; Val moved the block and Eddie seconded. The clerk recorded all members present voting in favor of Resolutions 2–9.

The motion passed on roll call with one member recorded as no; counsel and members discussed the regulatory language during the policies report.
Personnel: The board approved Personnel Resolutions 1 through 29, which included acceptance of resignations and the new employment contract for Superintendent Dr. Christopher Santora. Charlotte (board member) moved Resolutions 1–29 and Val seconded; the roll call showed the block passed with a small number of recusals on named items (the clerk noted recusal on item 1 by at least one member and additional recusals listed in the minutes).
Nut graf: The consolidated votes completed routine fiscal, policy and staffing business for the district and included the board’s approval of the superintendent’s contract and multiple personnel transitions; recusals on several line items were noted and will be reflected in the official minutes.
