The board approved the hiring of Teresa Zink as a long-term substitute for Grade 7 math from Jan. 19 to Apr. 19 and recorded anticipated salary guide movements (BA to BA15 in September, then MA in Feb. 2027) for budget planning.

The Hardyston board approved personnel addendum items P9—P11, including the hiring of Teresa Zink as a long-term substitute to cover a Grade 7 math leave from Jan. 19 to Apr. 19.

The superintendent and staff described the arrangement as a short-term solution while the district continues to recruit.

The meeting also recorded an anticipated salary-guide movement for budgeting: BA to BA15 effective Sept. 1 and an anticipated move to MA effective Feb. 1, 2027; the change was added now for budgetary reasons and will be processed with proper credentials when effected. The motions to adopt P9—P11 carried on roll call.
