Tabernacle Township board places employee on paid suspension pending investigation
Summary
The Tabernacle Township Board of Education voted Sept. 16 to suspend employee #4869 with pay pending an investigation; the board also approved multiple personnel actions including a bus driver hire and accepted a resignation.
The Tabernacle Township Board of Education voted Sept. 16 to place employee #4869 on paid suspension while an investigation proceeds, board minutes show.
The suspension was approved by roll call following a motion from Dr. Kevin McCloy and a second from Jonathan Grubb; the board recorded the action as carried by majority roll-call vote. The minutes list the agenda item as “Approve the suspension of employee # 4869 with pay pending the results of the investigation.”
The action came after the board had met in closed session earlier in the evening under a resolution citing N.J.S.A. 10:4-12 for discussions related to public-safety tactics and pending or anticipated litigation or contract negotiation. The minutes say the meeting reconvened in public at 8:08 p.m.
During the same personnel section, trustees approved other staffing actions: the board accepted the resignation of Katherine Porter, Preschool Instructional Assistant, effective Sept. 6, 2024; approved Jasmine Rios as a bus driver for the 2024–25 school year at an $18,000 annual salary; and approved mentor payments required by the New Jersey Department of Education for several staff members with individual amounts recorded in the minutes.
The board did not include additional details about the allegations or the timeline for the investigation in the public minutes. The minutes record motions and roll-call votes but do not identify any specifics about the investigator, investigatory findings, or next procedural steps for employee #4869.
The meeting adjourned at 8:38 p.m.
