The Leonia Board of Education voted to approve the consent agenda (item 2.1) after a motion and second; roll-call votes recorded present members voting in favor and the motion carried.
In administrative reports Dr. Caramanos highlighted the district's sustainability work: district participation in Sustainable Jersey with a current bronze certification and plans to seek silver, the arrival and increasing use of electric buses, active composting efforts, promotion of locally sourced foods in school meals, and Arbor Day Foundation recognition of two schools as Tree Campuses.
After an executive session, the board returned to open session and approved personnel actions (item 13.9) on a roll-call vote (motion by Dr. Mester; second by Mr. Park). New interim administration remarks by Dr. Nissenoff welcomed the board and said staff were preparing budget recommendations and awaited state aid figures following the governor's recent address.
The meeting included several procedural votes and no contested outcomes; the board directed staff to continue budget and committee work ahead of formal hearings.
