Summary

The South River Board of Education adopted a consent resolution covering routine personnel, finance, instruction and facilities items and approved contracts for student services and facility/security work, and approved payment of certified bills. One board member abstained from a field trip item related to a June 23 project graduation trip.

The South River Board of Education voted on Nov. 17 to adopt a broad consent resolution packaging routine, noncontroversial items across superintendent, finance, instruction, human resources and facilities categories.

Mister Rosa moved adoption of the consent resolution, Vice President Nielsen seconded, and the board approved the package which covered superintendent items 3.1–3.4, finance items 8.1–8.19, instruction items 9.1–9.4, human resources, safety and residency items among others. The resolution included contracts the finance committee recommended for services supporting student evaluation and instructional needs, such as bilingual child study team evaluations, augmentative and alternative communication evaluations, professional development workshops, yearbook services and custodial and snow-removal contracts.

The finance committee report also listed facility and security work authorized across multiple schools and Denny Stadium, including security cameras, electrical work, sound-system upgrades, roof repairs and flooring/stairwell fixes.

Miss Well stated she would abstain on one consent item: "I would like to abstain from 9.2 under field trips k. To the June 23 project graduation trip." The abstention was recorded; the remainder of the consent items passed.

The board also approved payment of certified bills as presented by the finance committee after a motion and second. No public comments were offered during the meeting on those agenda items.

The consent resolution bundles routine approvals intended to expedite board action on administrative and operational matters; agenda materials were provided to board members and will be posted to the district website.
