Glen Ridge board unanimously approves administrative, personnel and curriculum items; accepts donations
Summary
The Glen Ridge Public School District board approved administrative and business items (including district goals and meeting schedule), personnel items discussed in executive session, and curriculum item C1; the board also accepted several donations totaling more than $18,000 for school facilities and programs and then returned to executive session to finish confidential business.
The Glen Ridge Public School District board moved through routine business on Nov. 11 and approved administrative, personnel and curriculum items by roll call before returning to executive session to complete confidential matters.
An unnamed board member moved the administrative package (items A1–A2) and amended the motion to include an addendum item (A3); Darius was named as the second. The board recorded affirmative roll-call responses and the presiding officer declared the motion carried.
Anthony moved personnel items P1–P13 (including addendum items P8, P13 and P14). The board noted that personnel items had been discussed in executive session in keeping with board rules and the code of ethics; a roll call recorded affirmative responses and the motion carried.
Heather moved curriculum item C1, a field/STEM activity for G&T second-grade students visiting a Unitarian Fellowship in Morristown (listed on the agenda as a STEAM/STEM 'adventure'). Board members asked for the activity's stated educational purpose to be clarified in the small-print objectives before final paperwork; after clarification, the board approved the item by roll call.
Under business item B3 the board acknowledged multiple donations: funds for a second-floor water cooler at the high school, $4,400 for athletic trainers office renovations, a $10,000 gift tied to the 'Capturing Kids' Hearts' program, $14,000 for cafeteria tables, and an additional $300 toward a water cooler. The board then approved remaining business items by roll call and said it would adjourn back into executive session to finish outstanding confidential business.
