Pennsauken board lists repeal of remote-meetings bylaw for approval
Summary
The board recommended abolishing Bylaw 0164.6 — Remote Public Board Meetings During a Declared Emergency — as a first-reading item on Sept. 16; the agenda flagged the bylaw repeal for board consideration.
The Pennsauken Township Board of Education included on its Sept. 16 agenda a recommendation to abolish Bylaw 0164.6, titled “Remote Public Board Meetings During a Declared Emergency.”
The agenda lists the bylaw for abolition as an item for board approval; the packet did not include debate or a statement from a named member explaining the rationale during the public meeting. The item appears in the policies and regulations section of the agenda as a recommended action.
The repeal of a bylaw governing remote meetings would change the district’s formal authority to hold remote public board meetings during declared emergencies. The board did not provide further procedural language, implementation steps or an effective date in the meeting materials presented Sept. 16; any formal repeal would require subsequent motion and vote and, where applicable, alignment with state law for open public meetings.
Board members approved multiple agenda items at the Sept. 16 business meeting; the bylaw abolition was listed in the policies section of the packet and should be tracked in follow-up meeting materials for a recorded vote and final adoption steps.
