Chair cancels Pleasantville Public School District meeting for lack of quorum; schedules March 31 community input session
Summary
The chair canceled the Pleasantville Public School District meeting after determining there was not a quorum, saying the district could not vote on an unbalanced budget. The chair also announced a March 31 community input session on the superintendent search; the board will reconvene next month.
The chair announced that the Pleasantville Public School District meeting could not proceed because the board lacked a quorum, saying members had gathered "to pass the budget" but that "our budget was not balanced." The chair told attendees the meeting would be postponed and the board would reconvene next month.
The chair said, "I just have to announce that we will not be able to go forward with the meeting because we do not have a quorum," and added that a previously scheduled special meeting set for Tuesday to vote on the budget had been canceled because the budget was not balanced. No motions or votes took place at the meeting.
The chair also announced a public engagement opportunity related to the district's superintendent search, telling the audience, "March 31 at 06:00, we're having our ... community input sessions for our superintendent search. We ask the community to come out, voice your opinion on that day at 06:00." The chair thanked board members and attendees for coming and apologized that no formal business could be completed that evening.
No additional details about the budget balance or a revised schedule for a budget vote were provided during the session. The board's next formal meeting is expected next month, and the district is soliciting public comment at the March 31 session on the superintendent search.
