The Pinelands Regional School District board voted unanimously to approve personnel items A through D and accepted a Harassment/Intimidation/Bullying (HIB) item, the board recorded during its meeting.
By roll call, board members recorded 'Yes' votes for the personnel motion from Ms. Betty, Ms. Grassa, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Patty Martin, Ms. McVey, Mr. Vaux, Ms. Crystal Martin and Mr. D'Elia, after which the presiding officer declared the motion carries. The board then moved and voted to accept the HIB item A; the roll-call confirmations again recorded affirmative votes as read during the meeting.
During the personnel sequence a board member stated they should have recused themselves from item 5A and apologized; the speaker did not state their name on the record in the transcript. The meeting record shows the recusal comment immediately followed the HIB vote.
The meeting then proceeded to the board forum and other routine business before adjourning.
No additional details about the personnel actions (specific hires, appointments, contract terms or salaries) were provided in the transcript excerpt.
