Summary
District staff told the board the district will be closed May 22 and May 26 for make‑up snow days, announced TEDx on June 10, named students selected for the New Jersey All‑State Choir, and said architects will audit buildings to inform an upcoming referendum.
A district staff member delivered administrative reports and community announcements to the School District of the Chathams Board of Education. The staff member said the district will be closed May 22 and May 26 to observe make‑up snow days and that TEDx will be held June 10.
The staff member congratulated four Chatham Middle School students selected for the New Jersey All‑State Choir (Annabelle Palmer, Colleen Riley, Cece Young and Tess Nolan) and said the board will recognize teachers and educational specialists at the next meeting. Athletic recognitions included Roger Rice’s Morris County golf individual title, the high school golf team’s tournament victory, and about 40 student‑athletes who will continue athletic careers in college (23 Division I and 17 Division III signings).
The staff member said architects will visit and audit school buildings and facilities in the coming weeks and "make recommendations to the district for what should be included in the upcoming referendum," indicating planning work ahead of a referendum but not specifying scope or dollar amounts. Other announcements included a successful Chatham Middle School trip to Philadelphia, front‑hallway improvements at Chatham High School (credited to Dr. Walker and the PTO), the annual art show date and time, and a visit by meteorologist Mr. Rizzo from News 12 to a middle school class.
The announcements were presented for board information; the transcript records no motions or votes related to the audit or referendum planning.
