Board approves Superintendent's Bulletin No. 16, with two abstentions on a subitem

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany‑Troy Hills Board of Education voted at its May 7 meeting to approve Superintendent’s Bulletin No. 16 (items 1–18, with addendum items 19–23) by roll call. The motion passed with a majority of yes votes and two abstentions limited to item 5.

Superintendent Dr. Chase presented the bulletin and opened the floor for questions before the board voted. "It's been a lot of talk about the events," Dr. Chase said, acknowledging recent district activities and thanking staff for work during teacher appreciation and nurses week.

The motion to approve the bulletin was made and seconded; roll call recorded a majority of yes votes. Two board members recorded abstentions on sub‑item 5 (noted in the roll call), but otherwise the items were approved.

What this means: The approved bulletin packages the superintendent’s routine administrative items and addenda for board action. Specific abstentions were confined to the recorded sub‑item and do not block the package approval; any item requiring separate action would be handled per policy.
