North Hunterdon-Voorhees board elects new president during reorganization meeting

The North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District Board of Education on Jan. 6, 2026 swore in four newly elected board members and chose new leadership during its annual reorganization meeting.

The district conducted the oath of office for Richard Morgan, Nicole Ayers, Steven Matthews and Andrew Hanley before moving into officer nominations. Bridal McGysack was nominated for board president by a fellow member, who cited McGysack’s prior school-board experience and long career in education. After the floor was closed, the board held a roll-call vote; one member recorded a no vote while the majority voted yes. Speaker 2 announced, "Motion carries." After the result, McGysack said, "I will absolutely do my best to further the success and interest of the district and support all students, so I look forward to it."

Tara Hintz was nominated for vice president; members offered supporting remarks about her tenure and leadership. The transcript records roll-call voting on the vice-presidential nomination and acknowledgements after the vote.

The meeting also included procedural explanation of nomination rules: nominees for president and vice president must have been board members for at least one year, and the president and vice president may not be from the same municipality. The board established a quorum during roll call and proceeded with organizational business.

The board planned next steps including establishing committee assignments and delegates at the Jan. 20 meeting. The meeting moved later into discussion of annual administrative appointments and items, and members later voted to approve those organizational items.
