Board approves consent agenda and orders payment of certified bills

At its Dec. 15 meeting the South River Board of Education approved a consent resolution that bundled routine approvals across committees and authorized payment of certified bills.

Vice President Nielsen moved adoption of the consent resolution, which encompassed board secretary items (2.1–2.3), superintendent items (3.1–3.2), buildings and grounds (6.1), finance items (8.1–8.23 including an additional item), instruction items (9.1–9.4), policy and legislation (11.1), human resources (12.1–12.9 including an addition), safety and risk management (13.1–13.3) and residency (14.1). Ms. Sadowski seconded the motion. The chair called for 'all in favor' and members responded 'Aye'; the meeting record states the consent resolution passed.

Separately, the finance committee moved—and Ms. Lehi seconded—the payment of bills certified by the school business administrator/board secretary; the board again voted 'Aye' and approved payment as listed.

After completing public business, the board moved into executive session to discuss personnel matters under sections 7 and 8 of the Open Public Meetings Act; that motion was made by Vice President Nielsen and seconded by Ms. Sadowski and approved by voice vote.

The meeting record does not include roll‑call vote tallies or individual roll‑call votes for these motions; outcomes are recorded as 'consent resolution passes' and 'bills ordered paid.'
