District reports retirements, safety drills, enrollment and staffing updates; donates equipment and offers temporary classrooms
Summary
The board thanked two retiring staff members, reported safety drills and extended-school-year enrollment, confirmed most open positions are filled, and approved donating a broken lawnmower while offering two empty classrooms to a neighboring school during construction.
At the meeting the Hardyston Township School District board recognized long-serving staff, reviewed safety drills and enrollment, and approved several routine operational items.
Board president (S3) thanked Sandra Burke, a 26-year math interventionist/coach, and Cindy (surname unclear in the record) who served about 28 years in district office support, and wished them well in retirement. S3 said the board is developing an annual survey policy and plans an August workshop on board and superintendent goal-setting.
S6 reported recent safety drills: an elementary fire drill on June 3 and shelter-in-place drills at the middle school and elementary school on June 13. S6 also said the district’s extended school year program began June 30 and runs through July 31, with 58 students enrolled. On staffing, S6 said all open positions are filled except for a secretary and a long-term substitute school counselor.
S1 said the district was approached by a neighboring school whose building is partly condemned during construction; the district will allow the neighboring administration to use two empty middle-school classrooms for the interim period (approximately 4–6 months). S1 also said the district will donate a used lawnmower to the town of Hardison for parts.
S3 and other members noted preschool registration stands at 68 of 90 potential slots and kindergarten registration at 64, a rise from the prior year. Several routine motions (adopting minutes, curriculum items, and the HIV report) were handled by roll call during the meeting.
