Summary
Board members agreed at the Jan. 5 reorganization meeting to schedule one meeting in July (July 27) and to treat June, July and August as single-meeting months for the coming year to address quorum and summer scheduling issues.
The South River Board of Education agreed on Jan. 5 to hold one meeting in July 2026, selecting July 27 as the meeting date for that month, after members said the district had experienced quorum difficulties during the summer.
Board members discussed options in light of summer travel and the board’s role in hiring and fiscal-year transitions. Superintendent (Dr.) Zircher told the board staff would accommodate whichever schedule the board chose.
Vice President Kevin Nielsen moved to set a single July meeting and the board voted to adopt that schedule; the board’s minutes will reflect that June, July and August will have one meeting each and that regular schedule shown in the agenda will resume after those months.
The change is an administrative scheduling decision; staff were directed to update the published calendar and notify the public of the July 27 meeting date.
