Roxbury Township Board of Education moves into executive session after opening meeting

The Roxbury Township Board of Education convened a regular meeting tonight and moved into an executive session after a brief opening and roll call. Unidentified Speaker 1 opened the meeting and read aloud the public-notice requirements under the New Jersey open public meetings law, saying the board had provided advance notice to local newspapers, the municipal clerk and the Roxbury Public Library and posted the agenda to roxbury.org.

The move to closed session followed roll call. Unidentified Speaker 2 conducted roll call; multiple members answered present and the board confirmed a quorum. After the roll call, Unidentified Speaker 2 requested, "Can I have, someone to move for the resolution to go into the executive meeting? Sharon? Kathy, you second it?" The transcript records the board then proceeding into the executive meeting.

The transcript does not record a formal, auditable vote tally or the full names of the individuals identified only as "Sharon" and "Kathy," nor does it provide an agenda for the executive session in the public record. The meeting record notes that notice of this public meeting was transmitted to the Roxbury Register, the Daily Record, the Star Ledger, the municipal clerk, the Roxbury Public Library and posted to roxbury.org, and that notice was posted in the board's business office.

No public discussion of agenda items or substantive policy decisions appears in the portion of the record provided here; the board entered closed session shortly after the opening and roll call. The transcript does not list a meeting date, time, or the items to be discussed in executive session in the public segments reviewed.
