Vineland Board of Education opens, then closes public hearing on 2024–25 budget; no public comment

The Vineland Board of Education opened a public hearing on its proposed 2024–25 budget after a roll call confirmed members present. The board recorded an affirmative roll call to open the hearing and then invited public comment; none was offered.

Chair said the meeting was held "in compliance with the New Jersey open public meeting law commonly referred to as the Sunshine Law," and listed where notice of the meeting was posted, including The Daily Journal, SNJ Today, The Press of Atlantic City, Vista Bueno, the City of Vineland clerk, and the administrative office public bulletin board. The Clerk moved to open the public hearing on the 2024–25 budget and the Chair seconded; the motion carried on roll call.

When asked to take public comment on the budget, the Clerk stated, "I see none." With no members of the public speaking and no board members raising comments during a subsequent solicitation, the Clerk moved to close the public hearing; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call. The Chair later asked for a motion to close the meeting; the Clerk moved and the meeting was closed after a voice vote in the affirmative.

The public hearing produced no public testimony and no changes to the record were recorded during the meeting. The board recorded roll-call affirmations when opening and closing the hearing and then adjourned; no further procedural steps were announced during the transcript provided.
