The board read a resolution stating residency hearings were held in executive session for three students (student ID numbers 20231283, 20231275 and 20252383) whose parents did not attend despite being advised of that right. The resolution states the board found the students not domiciled in South Plainfield and resolved to disenroll them and assess the period of ineligible attendance for the 2025–26 school year; the superintendent was directed to notify the families.

A motion to add the resolution to the agenda was moved, seconded and carried by roll call; subsequent roll-call voting recorded affirmative responses and the resolution was placed on the record as approved. The transcript notes the matters were discussed in executive session under the categories of student and legal matters.

Because the hearings and some deliberations occurred in executive session, the public record on the precise factual bases for each residency finding is limited to the text of the resolution read into the public minutes and the student ID numbers cited. The board recorded that the parents had been apprised of their right to attend and did not do so.

Next steps: the superintendent was instructed to notify the families of the board’s decision; the district will assess periods of ineligible attendance per the resolution.
