Mary Grace Bennett and James C. Williams IV took the oath of office during the New Jersey State Board of Education’s open session in Trenton, formalizing Bennett’s reappointment and Williams’s recent confirmation.
Bennett recited the oath and thanked Governor Murphy, her home senators and supporters; she noted the board’s decisions affect roughly 1,400,000 students and pledged to work collaboratively on behalf of children across New Jersey. Williams affirmed the oath and thanked the board and his family, saying he would bring his experience in nonprofit leadership and fair-housing work to the State Board.
Judge Robert Logie of the Superior Court administered both oaths. President Kathy Goldenberg (as introduced during the meeting) and other board members welcomed the honorees and applauded their commitments to public education.
Both terms were placed on the record; the meeting proceeded with recognitions and regular business following the swearing-in.
