Board approves superintendent contract effective Jan. 1, 2025; moves several routine items

The Millstone Township School District board voted to approve a superintendent contract and advanced several routine agenda items, including district goals and curriculum/instruction packages.

Board members approved the personnel action that included the contract for Dr McCartney, who addressed the board remotely and accepted the appointment. "I am deeply honored and excited to accept the role as your new superintendent," Dr McCartney said, adding she looks forward to working with the district’s educators, staff, students and community. The transcript identifies the appointment as effective Jan. 1, 2025.

The board also approved district goals (motioned and seconded during the meeting) and moved curriculum and instruction items in their entirety by roll-call vote. Operations items were similarly approved; one abstention was recorded on an item related to the board secretary's report.

Board members recorded that several revised mandated policies were on the agenda for the first or second reading; the policy related to facility use (the "impact" policy) received a first reading and will return after a scheduled follow-up with the Recreation Commission and the business office.

Votes: The transcript records roll-call 'yes' votes from multiple board members on these motions; some members noted exceptions or abstentions on specific line items. The board concluded the public portion of the meeting and moved to enter executive session, noting no action would be taken while in closed session.

Next steps: The superintendent contract takes effect Jan. 1, 2025; the board will hold the scheduled community follow-up before reconvening the policy for a second reading, and routine committee work (including budget planning) will continue.
