Board urged to send contract matter to county superintendent for review
Summary
A speaker told the Pleasantville Public School District board that state notice provisions and Administrative Code 6A:13-3.1 allow renegotiation or amendment of existing contracts at any time and recommended sending the matter to the county board executive superintendent for review and return to the board.
Unidentified Speaker (S1) urged the board to refer a contract question to the county superintendent, saying notice provisions of a state statute and Administrative Code 6A:13-3.1 allow existing contracts to be negotiated, renegotiated or amended "at any time." "We don't have to wait" for newly elected members to be sworn in, the speaker said, and recommended sending it to the county board executive superintendent and then bringing it back to the board for a vote.
The transcript records the recommendation and a brief staff response. There is no recorded motion, second or formal vote attached to the referral in the provided transcript. In later segments Unidentified Speaker (S2) said they "can't help you with that" in the moment and described staff logistics — that a staff member had run to a relative's office and no one was available to assist immediately.
The record shows a procedural request and staff-level pushback on immediate assistance; it does not document a formal referral or an outcome from the county superintendent.
