Board member moves to remove colleague for absences; vote deferred to next meeting
Summary
A board member moved under NJ statute and district policy to remove board member Polola Pascarella for allegedly missing four consecutive meetings; the motion was seconded and the chair said the item will be placed on next week's agenda with notice to the member and potential resolution then.
During the open portion of the buildings and grounds meeting on Feb. 18, a board member moved to remove fellow board member Polola Pascarella on the grounds that she had missed four consecutive meetings. The motion cited "NJSA 18A" and District Policy 0145.
The motion was seconded but no discussion occurred that night. The chair read the governing rule and said, pursuant to statute and board policy, the motion would be placed on next week's agenda with notice to the affected board member and that action, if any, would take the form of a resolution at that subsequent meeting.
No vote or formal resolution took place at the Feb. 18 meeting. The board did not record a mover or seconder by name in the transcript; the chair instructed that the matter be added to the following meeting's agenda so members and the affected board member can receive required notice and the item can be considered formally at that time.
