At its Oct. 29 meeting the High Point Regional High School Board approved a slate of consent-agenda and action items, including curriculum reports, personnel recommendations, extracurricular appointments and a vendor contract.
Chair moved approval of the regular- and executive-session minutes from Sept. 24, 2024, and the board approved them by roll call. The board then voted on grouped curriculum items (faculty attendance, student attendance and suspension reports) and moved items on harassment/bullying reports, field trips and professional development together; the clerk conducted roll call and the items passed with affirmative votes from all board members present.
On personnel matters, the board approved two NJ FMLA maternity-childcare leaves (employee #1363, effective about Dec. 16, 2024, returning on or about March 17, 2025; and employee #1288, effective around March 17, 2025, for the remainder of the 24–25 school year), substitute appointments and rescinded one item. The board also approved an addendum hiring Sean McElroy as a full-time paraprofessional effective Nov. 1, 2024, at the hourly rate listed in district materials.
The board approved extracurricular items including a Skylands Ice World rental for $9,590 for the 24–25 school year, the appointment of Michelle Aludo as volunteer adviser for the Girls Who Code club, creation of a music-tech club with James Aslanian as volunteer adviser, a girls-wrestling tournament entry fee of $2,275 (the board was asked to cover the entry fee), volunteer appointments contingent on background checks, Roger Voco as volunteer ski coach, and Nicholas Palizos as unified basketball coach paid through a unified-grant stipend. The board also accepted the resignation of Samantha McClurg as assistant track coach.
In business items the board accepted monthly financial reports and approved awarding a contract to the Center for Evaluation and Clearance Assessments dated Sept. 25, 2024, effective immediately through June 30, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $6,600.
Throughout the approvals the chair thanked volunteers and noted that many activities depend on volunteer time. All listed action items were moved, seconded and approved by roll call with the board recording yes votes from the members present.
