Summary

The board adopted a consent resolution that included confirmation of HIB case 300866, approval of a settlement agreement for attorney-reviewed matters, and an instruction item approving a field trip (item 8.1). These items were placed on the consent agenda and adopted together.

At the Jan. 5 meeting the South River Board of Education adopted a consent resolution to approve routine and noncontroversial items together.

Superintendent Dr. Zircher placed HIB confirmation (case number 300866) on the agenda to meet a required deadline; she also presented a settlement agreement for board review and approval as the final outcome of an item discussed previously. The instruction committee brought forward item 8.1, a field trip to occur between now and the next regularly scheduled meeting.

The board moved and seconded the consent resolution, heard no comments on the consent items, and voted 'Aye' to adopt the packet. The consent adoption means the HIB confirmation, the settlement agreement and the field trip were approved as presented. The board did not discuss additional details of the settlement during the public portion of the meeting; staff noted the settlement had been discussed earlier and was presented as a final outcome for approval.

No public commenters spoke during the public-comment portion of the meeting; the board adjourned following the consent adoption and other routine matters.
