Board approves consent agenda and appoints former teacher Jim Huff as vice principal
Summary
The board approved grouped consent and business agenda items by roll call and separately approved the appointment of Jim Huff to the vice principal position with an effective date of July 13; multiple committee reports were also received.
The Watchung Hills Regional High School District board approved routine consent and business items and separately voted to appoint Jim Huff as vice principal at the high school.
Board members moved grouped consent items (A1–A8, A9, C1–C22 excluding C20, and D1–D12) and approved them by roll-call votes recorded in the meeting. No dissent was recorded in the transcript for those grouped motions. The board earlier pulled C20 for separate consideration because it appoints an administrator to a high-school vice principal position.
During the pulled-item discussion, a board member introduced Jim Huff as the candidate; the board stated the appointment will be effective July 13 to allow the candidate to provide notice to his current employer. The motion to approve C20 passed in roll call with the following recorded votes: Mr. Decker — yes; Miss Fazer Rosemurski — yes; Miss Lee — yes; Miss Potter — yes; Miss Proa — yes; Miss Rexford — yes; Miss Redente — yes; Miss Trump — yes; Mr. Bernberg — yes. The board then continued with the remaining agenda and adjourned.
Committee reports in the meeting recapped professional development plans, personnel-renewal previews, operations/facilities updates (including the need to re-bid certain millings and paving contracts after changes to co-op purchasing rules), and finance updates on budget timelines, referendum planning and transportation opt-out figures. Administration said policy 7510 (use of facilities) has not been updated since 2012 and will be reviewed.
The board also discussed a sample resolution circulated by the New Jersey School Boards Association on rising health-care costs and agreed to consider whether to sign or draft a district-specific resolution at a future meeting.
