Board approves agenda, adds personnel and contract items and moves to private session

On March 26 the Elizabeth Board of Education voted to approve the entire published agenda plus additional personnel and contract items added at the meeting.

A board member moved to approve "the entire agenda and the additionals" and another member seconded. A roll call followed. Two members registered targeted abstentions: Clairvoyant Noel abstained on tab 4b (chief of operations resolution) and the deputy counsel contract, and President Carvallo recorded abstentions on the chief of operations and deputy counsel items; the remainder of the board voted yes and the agenda as amended passed.

Earlier in the meeting the board listed a set of added items that the administration asked to place on the agenda, including appointments (computer operations and applications; coordinator of network cybersecurity and IT infrastructure), a tentative budget adoption item for 2026–27, and multiple bargaining‑unit settlements and contract resolutions for specified administrative and legal positions.

After completing public business the board moved into a private session to consider matters exempt under the Open Public Meetings Act, including personnel matters, bargaining unit contract settlements, budget review and legal matters; the public meeting later reconvened only to adjourn.

The transcript does not show public debate or votes on each of the added contracts during the public session; abstentions were recorded on the meeting roll call as noted.
