Board reapproves policies, signs code of ethics and names Fulton Bank as depository

The Gloucester Township Public Schools Board of Education approved three consent agenda items at its reorganization meeting: readoption of current district policies through the next reorganization, confirmation that board members received and signed the district code of ethics, and designation of Fulton Bank on Blackwood-Clements Road in Gloucester Township as the district's official depository.

During presentation of the consent agenda, the clerk explained that consent item 1 reapproves policies already in place and does not prevent the board from amending policies later as the policy-making body. Consent item 2 acknowledged that each board member had received, read and signed the code of ethics. Consent item 3 designated Fulton Bank as the official depository for district funds. A motion to approve consent items 1–3 passed on a roll-call vote with the recorded responses in the transcript showing 'yes' votes from the attending members.

Separately, the board filled several representative slots: Mary Jo Dentino was recorded as the board's Camden County delegate and Mary Anne Johnson was elected to serve on the Camden County Educational Services Commission. The clerk and business office were directed to notify county offices and record the bank designation in district records.

Administrative next steps: the business office will complete notifications to Fulton Bank and update official district records; the clerk will notify county entities of delegate and commission appointments.
