Little Egg Harbor Township Board approves agenda, enters executive session to discuss personnel

At a meeting recorded in the transcript, the Little Egg Harbor Township Board of Education approved its agenda, voted to enter an executive session to discuss employment and personnel matters and adjourned after hearing no public comments.

The presiding Chair called roll, recording Miss Herber, Mister Ochega, Miss Middle Coop, Doctor Snyder, Mister O'Keefe and Mister Filicella as present. The board then moved to approve the meeting agenda; a motion and a second were recorded and the Chair called for a voice vote, with those present responding "Aye." The transcript does not provide a named mover, precise vote tallies or any recorded dissent.

The board voted to enter executive session to discuss matters "involved in employment, employment terms, evaluation of performance," citing the Open Public Meetings Act and the statutory exception in NJSA 10:4-12 that allows closed sessions for certain personnel matters. The Chair said the executive session was expected to last until 8:00 p.m. and stated, "No formal action will be taken today." The board returned to open session at 8:25 p.m.

During the public-comment portion of the agenda the Chair reminded speakers of a five-minute time limit under board policy 0167 and pointed to a sign-in sheet; no member of the public spoke as recorded in the transcript.

The meeting closed after a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The Chair noted the board's next meeting will be held on the 23rd. The transcript does not specify the month or year, and it does not provide detailed vote counts or the names of the members who moved or seconded the recorded motions.
