Hillside board approves bundled finance, education, policy and labor items and confirms new football coach
Summary
The Hillside Public School District Board of Education approved bundled agenda items across four committees and formally approved the appointment of Hillside High School football coach Isabdul Kaddoos. Several routine roll-call votes passed with recorded yes votes from multiple board members.
The Hillside Public School District Board of Education approved several bundled agenda items and confirmed the district's new Hillside High School football coach during its meeting (date not specified).
Member Hargrave moved to separate an item from the finance agenda and asked that the board consider item 1 separately, saying, "I'm meant to abstain from, y 1 9 3 on the finance agenda." The motion to separate was seconded and carried on a roll-call that recorded yes votes from Miss Seguette, Miss Hargrave, Miss Horton Givens, Doctor Howard and Miss Best.
Vice President Horton Givens moved items 1 through 15 under the education agenda. That motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call that recorded yes votes from Miss Higuhiade, Miss Hargrave, Miss Horton Givens, Doctor Howard and Miss Best.
Member Ewigidi moved the policy item (a single motion). The motion was seconded and carried by roll-call with yes votes recorded for Miss Higuhiade, Miss Hargrave, Miss Horton Givens, Doctor Howard and Miss Best.
Doctor Howard moved items 1 through 22 on the labor agenda. The motion was seconded and carried on a roll-call with yes votes recorded for Miss Higuhiade, Miss Hargrave, Miss Horton Givens, Doctor Howard and Miss Best.
Superintendent Glover introduced the new Hillside High School football coach and said the board had "just formally approved" the appointment. The coach, Isabdul Kaddoos, came forward and told the board, "I'm from UN. I'm just really excited to pour into these kids and help them grow into young men." He described his playing career: "I played in the NFL for 6 years, 02/2011 to 02/2016. I played for the New Orleans Saints, the Detroit Lions, and the Miami Dolphins. I got injured. I had to create an injury in 02/2016... my right arm is a bit limited in a sense, but, you know, I'm just happy and glad to be back in the neighborhood and back around to give any impact that I can." The board did not read a public vote tally for the coach appointment in the transcript; Superintendent Glover's remark indicated the appointment had been approved earlier in the meeting.
All motions noted above were presented and approved without extended public debate in the recorded portion of the transcript. Several roll-call confirmations listed the same set of board members voting yes; when specific tallies or explicit roll-call counts were not given in the transcript, the article reports the named yes votes that appeared in the meeting record.
Members present and recorded in roll calls included Miss Seguette, Miss Hargrave, Vice President Horton Givens, Doctor Howard, Miss Best, Miss Higuhiade and Member Ewigidi. Where a speaker said they intended to abstain from a specific finance item, that intent is recorded rather than an official abstention vote number because a formal abstention tally was not read into the record in the transcript segment provided.
The approvals bundle routine business across finance, education, policy and labor, and the confirmed coaching appointment place personnel and operational items on the district calendar for implementation.
