Sayreville Board of Education votes to enter executive session to discuss personnel, student and legal matters
Summary
The Sayreville Board of Education voted to go into executive session during its Nov. 18 meeting to discuss personnel issues, student matters, attorney‑client privileged matters and SEA grievances after a resolution citing the Open Public Meetings Act was read and approved.
The Sayreville Board of Education voted to enter an executive (closed) session at the start of its Nov. 18 meeting to discuss personnel matters, student issues, attorney‑client privileged matters and grievances under the Sayreville Education Association (SEA). An unidentified board official opened the meeting and confirmed public notices had been sent to the Home News Tribune and the Star‑Ledger and posted with the borough clerk and the board secretary, as required under the Open Public Meetings Act (P.L. 1975, c.231).
An unidentified speaker moved that the board go into executive session; the motion was seconded by a speaker identified in the transcript as Eileen. The motion was accompanied by a formal reading of a resolution invoking Section 8 of the Open Public Meetings Act, which permits excluding the public when the board is of the opinion that confidentiality is necessary. The resolution stated the public would be excluded for discussion of "Personnel, including but not limited to agenda items, student matters, and matters falling under attorney‑client privilege, and SEA grievances." The resolution was recorded as taking effect immediately.
A roll call was taken on the resolution. Several named members responded in the affirmative when called — the transcript records "Yes" responses for Mister Callahan, Mister Kowski, Mister Fernandez, Missus Hernandez, Missus Pavone, Mister Smith and Missus Bloom — and the presiding official announced that the board was in executive session. The transcript indicates other named members (Miss Maldonado and Missus Napatano) were present but does not include an audible affirmative vote from them in the recording. The transcript does not record any public actions taken in the closed session.
The board did not record further public business in the supplied transcript excerpts. The meeting moved into executive session; no additional public votes or outcomes are recorded in the provided segment.
