Wayne board welcomes interim business administrator, praises convocation and proclaims Constitution Week
Summary
The board welcomed an interim business administrator, heard staff praise for a large convocation supported by local businesses and partners, announced a forthcoming demographic study and noted the school construction authority approved about 40% of funding for work at Prentice School; it also formally presented a Constitution Week proclamation.
The Wayne Board of Education on Sept. 11 welcomed a new interim business administrator and highlighted the start of the school year, community partnerships and an upcoming demographic study tied to enrollment and facility needs.
The meeting opened with a 9/11 remembrance and taps. Speaker 1 introduced 'Mister Ed Izvicki' as the district's new business administrator and asked the board to welcome him. Board members offered thanks and personal remarks; one commenter explicitly welcomed "doctor Zvicki as our new interim business administrator," reflecting a naming variant in the transcript.
District staff (speaker 2) summarized the recent staff convocation held off-site at Calvary Church, saying the event hosted more than 1,000 staff, was supported by local businesses and by the police and transportation departments, and yielded more than $1,000 in donations to support teachers. Staff praised the community partnership and noted the convocation venue was a professional space that allowed broad participation.
On facilities and finances, the chair said the school construction authority approved about 40% of the funding for planned work at Prentice School and that the district is using the Passaic County Improvement Authority to advance projects. The chair also said a demographic study is forthcoming and cautioned against misinformation: "Through comments made a couple weeks ago... that we laid off a 111 teachers. That's the furthest from the truth... It was 14," the chair said, adding some of those 14 were rehired.
Speaker 3 read a resolution proclaiming Sept. 17–23 as Constitution Week and urged civility and constructive dialogue in district governance.
The board closed after routine business and a motion to adjourn. The actions and proclamations discussed will appear in the official minutes for Sept. 11, 2025.
