Summary
The board adjusted the 2025–26 school calendar because of snow days and a high‑school transformer issue, approved personnel and consent items (including naming Tracy Quattrochi as Parsons principal effective July 1), and authorized a $82,952 change order for Judd Elementary renovations.
The North Brunswick Township Board of Education moved through regular business after Parsons School’s presentations and approved a set of operational motions affecting the district calendar, personnel and a school renovation.
Vice President James moved to amend the 2025–26 calendar to account for inclement-weather days and a high‑school transformer malfunction. The motion—approved by voice vote—keeps graduation on Monday, June 22 at 4 p.m.; sets the last day for pre‑K through grade 8 and seniors as Monday, June 22 (with senior exams on Saturday, June 20); and sets the last day for grades 9–11 as Tuesday, June 23.
The consent agenda—approved by voice vote—included personnel actions, curriculum, finance items, policy and transportation. The meeting record and subsequent remarks indicate the agenda included approval of Tracy Quattrochi’s appointment as Parsons principal effective July 1. Quattrochi addressed the board, saying she will focus on leadership stability and continuity through the transition.
Business Operations reported and the board approved change order number 1 for bid 26-01: a Judd Elementary School faculty toilet room renovation contract amendment to Magic Touch Construction Company in the amount of $82,952. The change order was passed by roll-call vote with the transcript recording Yes votes from Carter, James, Ligori, Patel, Singh, Sinha, Toth and Wen; one member (Cepeda) was recorded absent for the roll call.
Earlier in the evening the board approved several meeting minutes and accepted administrative and committee reports, including an education committee update noting nearly 600 multilingual learners districtwide and 72 students who exited ESL this year. The board also adopted a closed‑session resolution citing the Open Public Meetings Act to discuss personnel and attorney‑client privileged matters; the resolution stated the matters would be released to the public when nondisclosure is no longer required.
No formal public comments were recorded on the agenda items during the posted public-comment window. The meeting concluded after the board returned from closed session and completed the scheduled votes.
