Sayreville Board of Education votes to enter executive session citing Open Public Meetings Act
Summary
The Sayreville Board of Education adopted a resolution invoking Section 8 of the Open Public Meetings Act to go into executive session to discuss personnel, a student matter, and attorney‑client privileged matters; the resolution took effect immediately following a roll call.
The Sayreville Board of Education adopted a resolution to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters, a student matter and attorney‑client privileged communications, the board announced during its meeting.
The resolution, read aloud by the presiding official, cited "Section 8 of the Open Public Meetings Act, Public Law 1975," and stated that "the public shall be excluded from discussion of and action upon the here and after specified subject matters." The resolution also says the identified subject matter "shall be made public at such times the need for non disclosure no longer exists" and that the resolution "shall take effect immediately."
After the resolution was read, the presiding official moved to enter executive session; a second was recorded but the transcript does not identify who moved or seconded. The clerk proceeded with a roll call: the presiding official called each board member by name and recorded affirmative responses as each name was called. Those names, as spoken into the record, were Mister Callahan; Missus Tchaikowski; Mister Fernandez; Missus Hernandez; Missus Maldonado; Missus Napolitano; Missus Papone; Mister Smith; and Missus Bloom. The presiding official declared the resolution adopted and the public excluded from the specified discussions effective immediately.
The board explicitly listed the general nature of the closed session topics as "Personnel, including but not limited to agenda items, a student matter, and matters falling under attorney client privilege." The transcript does not provide additional detail about the personnel or student matters, nor does it record any substantive discussion in public before the session began.
The meeting proceeded into executive session; no further public actions or votes on those subjects are recorded in this portion of the transcript.
The board of education represents the Borough of Sayreville in Middlesex County, New Jersey. The transcript does not provide a date for the meeting within the captured segments, nor does it identify the presiding official by name.
