The Watchung Hills board advanced consent items after a roll call, received an education committee report on testing, scheduling and articulation, and voted to enter executive session to finish personnel business; the superintendent also publicly thanked long-serving network manager Andy Bole.
The Watchung Hills Regional High School District board advanced a cluster of consent agenda items and conducted a roll call at its meeting, then moved into executive session to complete pending personnel business.
Janine reported for the Education Committee, saying the committee met April 1 at 4 p.m. and reviewed successful testing operations, thanked IT and buildings-and-grounds staff for support, outlined scheduling timelines (sectioning meetings after spring break; master schedule development around May 4), and discussed a feasibility study that found variation in articulation, instructional time and common assessments across sending districts. Janine said the committee is pursuing shared articulation documents for grades 7–9 and planning shared professional development for October.
During general remarks the superintendent publicly thanked the district’s network manager, Andy Bole, who will depart after roughly 13 years; the superintendent praised Bole’s responsiveness and contributions, including work during the COVID period. With no further business on the public agenda, the chair moved that the board go into executive session to complete personnel matters; the motion was seconded and approved, and the board indicated it would adjourn after the closed session.
