Hardyston board elects president, vice president and approves reorganization package
Summary
At the Jan. 6 reorganization meeting the Hardyston Township Board of Education elected Brian (name read into record) as president and Edward Riley as vice president, approved an omnibus reorganization motion covering governance items and announced committee assignments will be solicited by email.
Brian (name read into the record) was elected president of the Hardyston Township Board of Education and Edward Riley was elected vice president during the board's Jan. 6, 2026 reorganization meeting.
The board approved an omnibus motion to adopt the standard reorganization and governance items (items 1—10), including next year's meeting calendar and routine reaffirmations of board practice. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call; one member recorded an abstention on item 4 of the package.
Board Chair (as identified in the meeting) said he will email members the committee and district-role openings and asked trustees to reply with areas of interest so committee appointments can be finalized at a forthcoming meeting. "Look for an email from me tomorrow morning," the chair said.
Why it matters: The annual reorganization establishes the board's leadership and committee structure ahead of budget season and upcoming contract negotiations. The board noted several committee meetings will be scheduled in the coming weeks to begin budget development.
What happened next: After the reorganization votes the board closed the reorganization portion and opened the regular meeting to consider the regular agenda.
