Greater Egg Harbor Regional board elects Carol Houck president, approves routine agenda and personnel items

Carol Houck was elected president of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District board during the meeting’s reorganizational proceedings; March Gunther was elected vice president. Board members moved to close nominations, the motions were seconded, and the chair announced the results after roll-call confirmations.

The newly constituted board approved routine business items B1 and B2, education items E1–E3 and personnel items P1–P5 after motions to move and second those items. The chair confirmed each motion’s approval following affirmative roll-call responses. The agenda items were presented as routine and no substantive debate on those items is recorded in the transcript.

The meeting began with required public-notice statements and rules for public comment, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. The chair conducted roll call and declared a quorum before opening nominations for officers. The chair also announced that calendar approval was on the consent agenda and that a board retreat is scheduled; the superintendent said an agenda for the retreat will be circulated to members.

No formal objections or recorded negative votes appear in the transcript excerpts for the items approved; each motion was followed by a roll-call confirmation of support and the chair’s announcement that the motion was approved. The transcript identifies board members taking part in roll call by surname (for example, Edmonds, Garrison, Gunther, Hartman, Curley, Sartorius and Wright).
