Evesham board honors departing members, approves consent items and moves to closed session
Summary
The Evesham Township Board of Education honored outgoing members Jamie Lee and Joe Fiscaro, voted to enter closed session under NJSA 10:4‑12, and approved the consent agenda (items 6–10) with two noted abstentions.
The Evesham Township Board of Education used its final 2024 meeting to recognize two departing members, approve routine consent items and enter an executive session under the state Open Public Meetings Act.
Chair Mister Yates opened the meeting with the required public‑notice statement and called the roll; the board confirmed a quorum. The board then voted to go into closed session under NJSA 10:4‑12 for specified exempt matters; Mister Brown moved the motion, Miss Lee seconded, and the motion carried on recorded roll call.
The board also considered a consent agenda covering items 6 through 10. A motion to approve the consent items was made (transcript mover: 'Mister Fizikara') and seconded by Miss Fox. The roll call showed the motion carried overall. The record notes that Miss Fox abstained from item 6 and Miss Lee recorded an abstention on item 10.6; the chair acknowledged and recorded those abstentions.
The meeting included extended remarks honoring Jamie Lee (three years of board service and membership on policy and personnel committees) and Joe Fiscaro (longstanding service dating back to the 2000s). Board members recounted mentorship and community contributions; plaques were presented.
Superintendent Doctor Smith highlighted recent student winter concerts, a 5th‑grade student‑council inauguration at Van Zant, and reminded families of a Genesis parent‑portal survey to choose a draft 2025–26 district calendar (deadline Jan. 3). A board member also called attention to the ESU Education Foundation 'Double Down' fundraiser scheduled for Jan. 31 and encouraged public support.
The chair closed regular business, heard board member announcements and community reminders about upcoming state aid hearings (Jan. 14–16 in Trenton and Camden County), and the board adjourned after a final motion by Miss Fox.
