North Brunswick board certifies March 11 referendum, sets bond planning and approves personnel action after closed session
Summary
At its March 26 meeting the North Brunswick board announced final certification of the March 11 referendum, described bond-sale planning and calendar changes, approved consent items by roll call and, after closed session, approved the termination of employee 9059 effective March 14, 2025.
The North Brunswick Township Board of Education on March 26 announced final certification of the March 11 referendum and outlined next steps for financing and project planning, approved routine consent items, and approved a personnel termination after a closed session.
Superintendent Shoka told the board the district “did receive final certification today of the March 11th referendum vote confirming the strong yes vote on both questions,” and staff have begun planning for a bond sale and for how projects will be scheduled at each school. The administrative report also included calendar updates: early closings for staff professional learning, schools closed Monday March 31 for a Muslim holiday, a half-day April 11 to begin spring break, and returned emergency closing days with the last day of school moved to Friday, June 20; graduation will remain Monday, June 23 at 10:00 a.m. at Jersey Mike’s Arena.
Committee reports reviewed expected facilities work tied to the referendum, including Lywood chiller start-up, a Middle School leak forensic estimate (potential FY26 cost: $150,000), Livingston Park paving and Parson courtyard repairs. The Business Operations committee also noted a planned bid opening for Livingston Park paving and the district’s ongoing HVAC control upgrades and lead water retesting.
Routine governance items were handled earlier in the meeting: Miss Keith moved to approve several minutes sets and Dr Patel moved to approve the consent agenda (personnel, curriculum, finance and transportation); the consent agenda passed on a roll-call vote with all listed board members recorded as 'yes.'
Later the board voted to enter closed session to discuss legal and personnel matters. After returning to open session, Dr Patel moved to approve the termination of employee 9059, effective March 14, 2025; the motion was seconded and adopted by roll call with the following recorded as voting "yes": Mr Ali, Mr Carter, Miss James, Miss Keith, Mr Lori, Dr Patel, Mr Singh, Miss To and Mr W. The board provided no additional public detail about the reason for the termination beyond that it was discussed in closed session.
The meeting adjourned after the vote.
