Board members congratulate new Hillside High principal amid tough budget season
Summary
Board members used the meeting’s closing remarks to congratulate the newly installed Hillside High School principal and described the recent budget season as challenging, while emphasizing a student-first focus.
Board members closed their meeting with personal remarks congratulating the new principal at Hillside High School and reflecting on a difficult budget season.
Judy Hargreary offered congratulations during the board’s personal-comments period: "I just wanted to say congratulations to mister Emanaca ... He's a Hillside High School graduate, and now he's the principal of the high school." Several colleagues echoed congratulations and personal connections to the high school.
Board members used the remarks to thank staff and community members for their engagement during budget discussions. One member said the process had been challenging but stressed that "the goal is about our scholars" and urged continued outreach to state legislators to address funding shortfalls.
Dr. Perez also addressed the board, saying she looked forward to partnering with the new principal and emphasizing that students should remain "at the forefront" of district decisions.
The transcript captures appreciation and an emphasis on future collaboration but does not show a formal personnel vote or the contractual details of the principal’s appointment on the public record.
The board adjourned after the closing remarks and a motion to close the meeting.
