Manasquan Board accepts resignation of member Thomas Pellegrino; approves personnel moves and two MEA sidebars
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of Thomas Pellegrino effective March 19, 2026, approved personnel actions for elementary and high school staff, and ratified Sidebar Agreements #07 and #08 with the Manasquan Education Association during the March 19 meeting.
The Manasquan Board of Education accepted the resignation of board member Thomas Pellegrino on March 19, 2026. A statement announcing Pellegrino’s resignation was read to the public; Ms. Pollock moved to accept the resignation and Mr. Sorino seconded the motion. The board recorded an 8–0 roll‑call vote in favor, with three members absent.
After an executive session that the board said would address collective bargaining and personnel matters, the board reconvened and approved elementary and high‑school personnel items. The motion to approve Manasquan Personnel Item #45 (elementary personnel) carried on a roll call vote (Ayes 7, Nays 0, Absent 1). The board also approved Manasquan/Sending District Items #46–#48, which include Sidebar Agreement #07 and Sidebar Agreement #08 to the collective negotiations agreement with the Manasquan Education Association (MEA); that vote was recorded 8–0.
The agenda materials identify the sidebar agreements as modifications to the existing negotiations agreement effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The board gave no additional public detail in the meeting minutes about the substantive terms of those sidebars; the agenda lists the documents as Items S and T in the packet.
The personnel approvals and sidebar agreements were handled as consent items after the executive session; the meeting minutes note that items discussed in executive session will result in board action when the board reconvenes to public session.
The board adjourned the meeting at 7:51 p.m.
