Board approves committee slates across education, finance, buildings and personnel; several abstentions noted
Summary
The Linden Board of Education approved committee motions across multiple reports (education 1–24; finance 1–28; buildings 1–6; planning 1–3; personnel 1–28). Roll-call votes recorded 'yes' majorities; Rempi Kalia abstained on several motions (noted on the education and buildings votes).
The Linden Board of Education approved the slate of motions presented by its standing committees at the Dec. 15 meeting.
Education committee: The board approved items 1–24 on a roll-call vote. Recorded responses included affirmatives from multiple members; newly sworn-in member Rempi Kalia recorded an abstention on the education motion.
Finance committee: The board approved items 1–28 on a separate roll-call vote with participating members recorded as voting yes.
Buildings, grounds and security committee: The board approved items 1–6; an abstention by Kalia was recorded on the roll call.
Planning and policy committee: The board approved items 1–3 on roll call; the transcript records one abstention listed as 'Khadlia' in the roll call.
Personnel committee: After the board’s executive session on personnel, the personnel committee presented items 1–28 for approval. Appointments and reappointments were noted as contingent upon student participation and sufficient state school aid; the slate passed on roll call.
Where the roll call listed individual responses, the meeting record in the transcript shows verbal 'Yes' or 'Abstain' for each member. No formal vote tallies (numeric counts) beyond the roll call responses were provided in the public transcript; the motions were carried as announced.
Actions taken were procedural approvals of committee items and personnel appointments; no individual ordinance or resolution numbers were given in the public portions of the transcript.
