Board delays action on superintendent’s contract until March
Summary
Board members voted to table consideration of the superintendent’s contract, citing a change in election‑related legislation that prevents formal action until the second day in March; the board said it is pleased with the superintendent’s performance and will revisit the contract in March 2026.
The Moriarty‑Edgewood School District board voted on Dec. 16 to table action on the superintendent’s employment contract until the March 2026 board meeting, citing a change in state law related to election timing.
A board member moved to postpone the contract vote after explaining that recent legislation restricts when the board may act and that the board must wait until the second day in March before concluding the contract process. “A lot of people don't know legislation changed,” the board member said as part of the motion to table. Board members emphasized that the delay is procedural; the board also stated it is “very pleased with superintendent Viviano’s performance” and that a summative evaluation had been completed.
The motion to table was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board agreed to address the superintendent’s contract at the March meeting, at which time members expect to take up the decision.
Next step: The item will return to a future agenda in March 2026 for formal consideration.
