Board accepts HIB finding, hires investigator for residency concerns and adopts field‑trip regulation
Summary
Franklin Borough board accepted an unsubstantiated HIB finding, approved hiring a private investigator for student residency investigations, and adopted Regulation R2340 on field trips during its Dec. 9 meeting; the board later entered executive session to discuss a separate confidential HIB case.
The Franklin Borough School District board addressed school safety, residency investigations and policy at its Dec. 9 meeting.
The board accepted the Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) report presented in executive session at the Nov. 18 meeting, recording HIB case 24‑25‑01 as ‘‘Unsubstantiated’’ and voting to accept, reject or modify that finding as appropriate. The board approved hiring Jeffery A. Oster, Private Investigator, at $48.00 per hour and $0.65 per mile on an as‑needed basis to investigate student residency concerns.
As part of regular policy work the board approved the second reading and adoption of Regulation R2340 (Field Trips). The minutes list the regulation as ATTACHMENT 5 to the agenda.
Separately, the board entered executive session at 7:16 p.m. under N.J.S.A. 10:4‑12(b) to discuss a matter rendered confidential by state or federal law — HIB case #24‑25‑02 — and returned to open session at 7:44 p.m. The minutes do not disclose details of the closed session matter, consistent with statutory confidentiality.
