Board honors 49-year purchasing director Bernadette Kutajar and approves personnel slate
Summary
The board recognized Purchasing Director Bernadette Kutajar for 49 years of service and approved personnel agenda items including addenda; administrators praised her role in district procurement.
Before approving a group of personnel items, board members publicly recognized Bernadette Kutajar, the district's purchasing director, for 49 years of service, noting her leadership of the department and statewide influence on procurement templates.
"Bernadette, we wish you the best in retirement. You've earned it, but you're irreplaceable," the superintendent said during the recognition. A district administrator who worked closely with Kutajar described her as "one of my right hand people" and said many bid and RFP templates used across New Jersey originated in the district's purchasing department.
After the recognition the board moved and approved personnel agenda items 1–20 and addendum items 21–26 by roll call.
