Barnegat school board holds brief meeting, observes moment of silence and moves to closed session on budget
Summary
The Barnegat Township School District board opened a brief public meeting, observed a moment of silence for former board member Andy Watts and voted unanimously to enter executive session to discuss budget matters; two members left before adjournment.
The Barnegat Township School District board called a brief meeting to order and confirmed a quorum before opening the public session, the chair said.
The chair asked the board to observe a moment of silence for former board member Andy Watts, who "served on the board from 2014 to 2017" and "passed away on March 8," and noted he had served as president of the Barnegat volunteer fire company, the chair said.
After brief public-session business the board approved a motion to close the public session and, later, to move into executive session to discuss budget matters. The motions were moved and seconded and passed by roll-call votes recorded on the public record; the clerk confirmed the votes on the record.
When the meeting reconvened, the clerk noted that two members, Mr. Pesaro and Ms. Tarnowski, had left the meeting. The board then approved a motion to adjourn and ended the session.
No formal decisions on budget items were disclosed in the public record; the executive session was convened for discussion of budget matters, as announced by the chair. The meeting minutes and any additional public actions or reports were not specified during the open session.
