Board approves education, finance, buildings, planning and personnel items; several recusals recorded
Summary
The Linden Board of Education voted to approve routine committee motions including education (items 1–41), finance (1–31), buildings (1–9), planning (1–3) and personnel (1–41). Board members recorded a small number of recusals on specific items but no motions failed.
The Linden Board of Education approved routine committee motions across several committees during its monthly meeting.
Education committee: The board approved items 1–41 following a motion presented by the education committee. Roll call recorded votes in favor from Miss Thomas, Miss Armstead (who stated she would recuse herself from specific subitems noted in the transcript), Miss Carrillo, Miss Pino and Dr. Melina Berghammer. Miss Armstead said she would "respectfully recuse myself from agenda item 7 41 and 42" (the transcript wording is ambiguous about the exact subitem numbering); the board proceeded to approve the education slate.
Finance committee: The board approved items 1–31 on the finance committee slate after a second and unanimous roll call by members present.
Buildings, grounds and security: The board approved items 1–9. Miss Carrillo stated she would recuse herself from items 5 and 6 and voted yes on the remaining items; the motion carried.
Planning and policy: The board approved items 1–3 by roll call with recorded yes votes from members present.
Personnel: After returning from an executive session on personnel, the board approved personnel appointments and reappointments (items 1–41). The presiding official noted that all appointments are contingent on student participation and receipt of sufficient state school aid and other funding as applicable.
No vote tallies with no/abstain were recorded in the public transcript aside from the recusals noted above; all slates were carried by roll call votes.
