Hainesport board affirms HIB determination for student #13020 after closed session
Summary
After an executive session citing HIB statute and litigation updates, the board returned to public session and voted to affirm a Harassment, Intimidation or Bullying (HIB) determination for a student identified in the agenda as #13020; the transcript records that the motion carried.
The Hainesport Township Board of Education convened in executive session during its Jan. 6 meeting to discuss confidential matters, citing HIB statute and an update on ongoing litigation. After returning to public session, the board called for a motion to affirm a HIB determination for student #13020. A roll-call vote was recorded and the motion carried.
The board's executive-session resolution cited N.J.S.A. 10:4-12 and the HIB statute as the basis for a closed deliberation; the public agenda item simply records a motion to affirm the HIB determination without public elaboration of facts discussed in closed session. The transcript records the roll-call action and indicates the motion carried, but it does not include a clear, itemized tally of individual yes/no votes in a machine-readable format. Details about the HIB finding, the underlying incidents, or any disciplinary steps were not discussed in public and remain confidential under law.
