The South River Board of Education adopted a consent resolution approving multiple routine agenda items and approved payment of certified bills during its meeting.
The consent resolution approved the superintendent's items 3.1 through 3.4; finance items 8.1 through 8.9; instruction items 9.1 through 9.6 plus an additional item 9.7; human-resources items 12.1 through 12.6 and additional items 12.7 through 12.10; and safety and risk-management item 13.1. The board then voted to pay all bills certified by the school business administrator and board secretary as presented to the finance committee.
The board moved the consent resolution without extended discussion. The motion was seconded by Miss Sadowski; a voice or roll-call vote approved the resolution. The record shows one abstention on item 12.2; the speaker who abstained was not identified in the public record excerpt. After the consent resolution passed, the finance committee recommended payment of certified bills, a motion that was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Committee reports presented at the meeting recommended approval of the listed items "upon recommendation of the superintendent," including a finance committee report that stated, "The finance committee recommends that all bills presented having been certified by the school business administrator, board secretary, be paid as listed." That recommendation was accepted by the board and implemented through vote.
The actions taken were routine approvals: no ordinances, contract awards, or budget adoptions with new funding lines were introduced in the public portion of the excerpt. Committee chairs and liaisons delivered brief reports and community event announcements earlier in the agenda; those items were informational and not part of the formal votes recorded in this excerpt.
The board adjourned after completing the consent resolution and the payment authorization.
