Summary
The Glen Ridge Public School District board approved minutes, a multi-item administrative consent package, personnel actions including an addendum increasing acting principal pay, curriculum items, and business items that included $219,631.19 in additional bills and claims.
The Glen Ridge Public School District board approved several routine and personnel measures in a series of roll-call votes, including a personnel addendum that increases monthly pay for two acting principals and the board’s approval of $219,631.19 in additional bills and claims.
Minutes: The board approved minutes from its May 13 executive and regular sessions (motion M1). The roll was called and the motion carried.
Administrative consent: Board member Kristen moved to approve administrative items a1 through a41 as listed on the agenda. After no discussion, the roll-call vote passed; the chair declared “motion carries.”
Personnel: Jocelyn moved p1 through p31 (personnel items) and presented an addendum, P‑31 A and B, that increases pay for acting principals. The board approved P‑31 as presented: an additional $3,200 per month beginning 07/01/2025, pensionable and prorated, for Keisha Harris; and an additional $2,400 per month beginning 07/01/2025, pensionable and prorated, for Jack DeWitt. The motion passed by roll-call vote.
Curriculum: Heather moved to approve curriculum items c1 through c7; the motion passed by roll call.
Business and finance: Heather also moved business items b1 through b19 and an addendum b20. The addendum, B‑20(A), approved additional bills and claims in the amount of $219,631.19. The board approved the business package by roll call; one board member recorded an abstention on a single business subitem (recorded as “B1C” in the minutes) but voted aye on the remaining business items.
Votes were taken individually for the grouped agenda blocks by roll call. Throughout the meeting, board clerk Barbara called the roll.
Several committee reports were given earlier in the meeting: the negotiations committee reported that it had reached an agreement with the GRA (to be ratified for a three‑year period beginning July 1), though the transcript does not record a separate, explicit ratification vote for that agreement during the public portion captured here.
No additional public action was taken on allegations or investigations discussed during public comment; the board recessed to executive session at the end of the public meeting.
