School committee votes to negotiate permanent contract with interim superintendent Jill Pelarani
Summary
The Blackstone‑Millville School Committee voted to proceed with negotiations to appoint interim superintendent Jill Pelarani to a permanent position, advancing contract talks after a 5–2 voice vote; the formal appointment will return to the committee later.
The Blackstone‑Millville Regional School Committee voted on Dec. 11 to proceed with negotiations to appoint interim superintendent Jill Pelarani to a permanent contract and to bring a formal appointment back to the committee for final action.
Committee members moved to authorize negotiating with Pelarani following a brief update on the superintendent search. The motion to proceed passed by a voice vote that the chair later confirmed as 5–2; two members recorded opposition.
Committee discussion before the vote was procedural; the motion asked staff to proceed with negotiations and return to the school committee with final contract terms and an official appointment process. The committee did not finalize salary or contract details at the meeting.
Next steps are negotiation of terms with Pelarani and a subsequent meeting in which the committee will consider a formal appointment and any related personnel actions.
Provenance: This item is based on the committee’s superintendent search update and the recorded motion and vote (topic introduced near the superintendent update and vote sequence).
