Bayonne Board of Education adjourns public meeting and enters closed executive session

The Bayonne Board of Education voted to adjourn its public meeting and enter a closed executive session at about 5:08 after a brief opening and roll call.

For the record, "this is a special public meeting of the Bayonne Board of Education," a meeting official said as the session opened. The clerk read the time and location and listed attendees, then conducted a roll call that recorded two absences and multiple trustees present.

A trustee moved and the motion was seconded to adjourn the public meeting and go into closed session; the clerk called the roll for the vote. The motion carried on a roll-call vote, with all trustees recorded as voting "yes" and two members absent. The clerk then announced, "It is now 05:08, and the board will adjourn into a closed executive session." The board asked nonessential attendees to leave the room before adjourning.

The transcript identifies the meeting as convened in the Anna J Herbert Board Meeting Room and records the attendance of trustees and district administrators; it does not specify the topic(s) to be discussed in closed session or the mover and seconder of the motion. The public portion of the meeting ended at the time the board entered executive session.

Present (as read into the record during roll call): Trustee Burke; Trustee Desmond; Trustee Gadeschi Rodriguez; Trustee Maggio; Trustee Samuola; Trustee Scufain; and the board president. Absent: Trustee Deschez and Vice President Gonzales. Several district officials were listed in the record as attending (superintendent and assistant superintendents), though they did not speak on the public record in the provided transcript.

The meeting record provided here ends as the board moved into closed executive session; no further public actions or the subject matter of the closed session are specified in the transcript.
