Board records meeting notice under Open Public Meetings Act and confirms quorum
Summary
At the start of the meeting the chair read the public-notice statement referencing the Open Public Meetings Act; the clerk conducted roll call and recorded attendance sufficient for a quorum.
The meeting opened with the chair reading the required notice that the meeting was posted and that the district complied with the Open Public Meetings Act: "in compliance with chapter 2 31 of the public law of 1975 is titled Open Public Meetings Act," the chair said.
The clerk conducted roll call and read attendees into the record; the transcript contains spoken attendance names as read at roll call. The clerk then confirmed that a quorum was present, allowing the board to proceed with routine business. The transcript includes several speaker-attributed affirmations of presence (e.g., "Missus Donna Carey, present").
The meeting record indicates postings on the district website and distribution to local media were part of the notice. The transcript contains some garbled spellings of names and locations; where the transcript was unclear, this article uses normalized spellings for the district and board (Hardyston Township Board of Education) while noting that individual roll-call name spellings were not fully clear in the public transcript.
