Hainesport board tables vote on student HIB determination after closed-session review
Summary
After convening a closed session under the Open Public Meetings Act to consider a HIB matter, the Hainesport Township Board of Education returned to public session and tabled a roll-call vote on the recommended disposition for student #12740 until the July meeting.
The Hainesport Township Board of Education convened in executive session June 17, citing N.J.S.A. 10:4-12 and confidentiality provisions under the district’s HIB statute, to consider a harassment/intimidation/bullying (HIB) matter.
A motion to enter closed session was made by Larry Brandolph and seconded by Jennifer Weres; the board recessed into executive session at 7:33 p.m. The board returned to public session at 8:53 p.m. and called for a motion to affirm, reject, or modify the HIB determination for student #12740. That vote was tabled until the board’s July meeting, according to the public record.
The board’s resolution authorizing the closed session cited the statutory exemption for certain student-discipline and HIB matters. No public discussion of the case was recorded following the return to open session; the record shows the board deferred the formal roll-call action on the HIB determination to allow further handling at the July meeting.
Next steps: the board will address the HIB determination for student #12740 at its July meeting, where it will take a formal roll-call action to affirm, reject, or modify the recommended disposition.
