Board orders employee (ID 1104) to submit to medical exam under state law

The Wayne Township Public School District board on May 29 adopted a resolution requiring employee ID 1104 to submit to a physical examination by the district's designated physician and to provide a confidential written medical report within 30 days.

The action, presented on the superintendent's recommendation, cites New Jersey statutes and administrative code provisions: NJSA 18A:16-2, NJAC 6A:32-6.3, and board policy 3161. The resolution directs the superintendent to provide the employee with the appropriate statutory notice and authorizes the administration to take steps necessary to implement the board's decision.

Board materials record the requirement as a formal personnel resolution; no individual board member was recorded as the mover or seconder in the transcript excerpt. The board framed the measure as a response to concerns about the employee's physical health "which has adversely affected the employee's ability to perform essential job functions," language used in the resolution text read into the record.

The board did not discuss medical findings on the public record beyond the motion; the transcript does not state whether the employee accepted or contested the requirement at the meeting. The resolution sets a 30-day deadline from May 29, 2025, for submission of the medical report to the board confidentially.

The board also instructed the superintendent to prepare and deliver the statutory notice to the employee detailing the reasons for the action. The record does not identify the employee by name; the item is recorded in the minutes using the district's employee ID system (ID 1104).
