Board provisionally accepts Abraham Reich pending background check
Summary
After executive session, the Lakewood Township Board of Education voted to provisionally accept Abraham Reich as a member, contingent on required criminal history background checks and NJDOE confirmation; the vote was taken in public following closed deliberations.
The Lakewood Township Board of Education voted July 15 to provisionally accept Abraham Reich as a member of the board, contingent on successful criminal-history background checks and confirmation by the New Jersey Department of Education that no disqualifying offenses exist.
The resolution, offered in public session after an executive session selection process, states the acceptance is conditional: "contingent upon: 1. Successful completion of the criminal history background checks as required by law; and 2. Confirmation from the New Jersey Department of Education that no disqualifying offenses exist." The board recorded the motion and a roll-call vote to bring the appointment before the public.
Board President Moshe Bender and other members voted in favor during the public roll call. The resolution says the acceptance will be null and void if the background check reveals a disqualifying offense. The board recorded the vote in public session and the meeting adjourned at 8:32 p.m.
The action follows candidate interviews and a closed deliberation on filling a vacancy. No additional comment was provided in the public minutes about the candidate beyond the contingency language in the resolution.
