Hillsdale board affirms HIB findings and withholds increments for one employee
Summary
Trustees affirmed three HIB determinations, continued a suspension with pay pending investigation, and approved withholding employment and adjustment increments for an employee (ID on file) for 2025–26; motions passed by consensus.
The Hillsdale Board of Education on Aug. 25 affirmed three Superintendent HIB determinations arising from prior executive-session deliberations and approved multiple personnel appointments and staffing plans for the 2025–26 school year.
During the public meeting the Board voted to affirm the Superintendent’s decisions on incidents referenced as W2425-9, W2425-10 and W2425-11; these actions were described as outcomes from the July 17, 2025 executive session. The Board also approved School Improvement Panels, Behavioral Threat Assessment Team rosters, the District Evaluation Advisory Committee membership (DEAC), co‑curricular stipend list revisions, salary adjustments effective Sept. 1, substitute and instructional aide appointments, crisis-prevention training schedules and other personnel motions. All personnel motions 1P–15P passed by consensus vote 5–0.
A separate personnel resolution addressed an employee whose identifier is on file with the Superintendent (employee ID 5044). The Board continued the employee’s suspension with pay pending further investigation consistent with N.J.S.A. 18A:25-6 and N.J.S.A. 18A:6-8.3, ratified the Superintendent’s restoration of the employee effective Aug. 14, 2025, and adopted the Superintendent’s recommendation to withhold that employee’s employment and adjustment increments for the 2025–26 school year. The Board directed the Business Administrator/Board Secretary to provide written notice to the employee within 10 days of the resolution.
The personnel changes and disciplinary actions were recorded in the meeting minutes and carried by consensus 5–0. The minutes do not disclose the employee’s name; they reference the personnel ID and state that further investigation and notice are required.
