Board votes to postpone personnel item 2D indefinitely
Summary
The Roselle Park Board voted to postpone agenda item 2D indefinitely after a motion and roll-call vote, with six yes, one no and one abstention; the item was removed from the current agenda and can be brought back by a future motion.
A board motion to postpone personnel agenda item 2D indefinitely passed during the year-end Roselle Park Public School District board meeting after a roll-call vote.
A board member (Speaker 5) moved to postpone 2D indefinitely; another board member (Speaker 1) seconded the motion. The board then conducted a roll-call vote. Recorded votes showed six yes votes, one no vote and one abstention; the presiding officer announced the motion passed and that item 2D was removed from the current agenda.
The board discussed procedural effects of postponing an item indefinitely under Robert's Rules; several members clarified that postponing indefinitely removes the item from the current agenda and that a future motion would be required to restore it. Board members asked whether questions arising from executive session influenced the decision; the presiding officer said additional information was needed before taking final action.
The motion’s passage does not itself resolve the underlying personnel matter; it only delays board action until members either bring a new motion at a future meeting or vote to place the item back on the agenda.
