West Windsor-Plainsboro board approves consent and personnel items, recesses into closed session

The West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District Board of Education approved a slate of consent items during its meeting, including administration items 1–15 (with the peach addendum), curriculum items 1–2 (purple addendum), finance items 1–8 (blue addendum) and personnel items 1–2 (green addendum).

During the recorded roll-call-style confirmations, the minutes of May 12 and May 26 were approved with two abstentions recorded (the record includes the abstentions but does not identify which member cast them). A personnel roll call included one abstention on personnel item number two.

Dr. Ederhold recognized several HR actions on the agenda: Azure Diggs was announced as the incoming principal of Village Elementary School for the 2026–27 school year; Stephanie Jiari will serve as the district’s grades 6–12 language arts supervisor; John Gabber was thanked for his service as he transitions to a new principal role; Paul Hamnet will transfer to Grover Middle School as assistant principal; and Mr. Malicadus, a longtime teacher, was announced as the new assistant principal at Village Elementary. The meeting record notes audience recognition and thanks for those transitions.

The board then read and adopted a public resolution to move into a closed executive session "to discuss certain items involving matters of personal confidentiality" including personnel matters, a negotiations update (referred to in the record as the WWP negotiations update) and the superintendent evaluation. The resolution stated that minutes of the executive session would remain confidential until confidentiality was no longer necessary, and it also stated that the board would not return to open session to conduct business after the executive session.

No formal open-session vote or public action on compensation or on the negotiations topics was recorded before the board left for closed session.
