Rochelle Park Board convenes special meeting, moves into executive session on personnel and contracts
Summary
At a Jan. 10 special meeting, the Rochelle Park Board of Education convened and entered executive session to discuss confidential personnel and contract matters; no public commenters attended. The board also announced upcoming regular and special meetings.
Board President Scott Kral called the Rochelle Park Board of Education to order at 8:51 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2026, and led the meeting through roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance. Business Administrator and Board Secretary Michele Rainere recorded the attendance of Vice President Elaine Rainone and board members Michele Balik, Christina Holz, Michele Jacob, Joseph Marolda and Dominic Pizzuto.
President Scott Kral read the Open Public Meeting Act statement, saying, "The New Jersey Open Public Meeting Law was enacted to ensure the right of the public to have advance notice of and to attend the meeting of bodies at which any business affecting their interests is discussed or acted upon," and noting that notices had been posted on the district website and published in local outlets per Chapter 231, P.L. 1975.
The board opened the public comment period and recorded that no members of the public were present. The board then resolved to convene in executive session "to discuss confidential matters regarding personnel and contracts."
