Hackensack Board of Education approves finance resolution, then moves to executive session

The Hackensack Board of Education approved a finance resolution and then voted to enter an executive session during a special meeting called to order at 6:17 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10 (year not specified in the transcript). The Chair said the resolution would be taken before the board went into executive session and that no actions would be taken after the executive session.

The Chair introduced the finance resolution (the text of the resolution is not specified in the transcript) and called for a motion. A member moved and the motion was seconded; the Chair recorded multiple affirmative verbal responses from board members. The transcript does not supply a line-by-line roll-call tally in the vote segment, so a specific vote count by name is not available in the record. The Chair later read the executive-session resolution, stating, "Be it resolved that the Hackensack Board of Education determines it necessary to meet an executive session ... to discuss legal, personnel and student related matters, HIPAA reports, negotiations, and other confidential matters."

Trustee Bridal made the motion to go into executive session, and Trustee Gilmore seconded that motion; the Chair called for assent and recorded agreement. The Chair closed the public portion and announced the board would proceed to executive session. The transcript indicates trustees were present and that the board moved forward without public comment; it does not identify the finance-resolution mover by full name in the recorded audio available in the transcript.
