The Neptune Township School District Board of Education on May 27 posted a community survey to gather public input on selecting a successor to Superintendent Dr. Crater, who told the board she will retire effective Nov. 1.
Dr. Terrell Crater, the superintendent, told the board she and staff will post a short survey to solicit community views and that the business office will conduct a facilities-use analysis over the summer. She said the district will present options in a public meeting in the August–September timeframe and that the review will consider potential impacts on budget, transportation and students.
"We will be working mostly through the business office on an analysis of our facilities and facilities use and we'll come to the public meeting in the August September time frame to provide the board with options moving forward," Dr. Crater said.
Crater also told the board the district received a $200,000 high-impact tutoring grant and staff are evaluating vendors to deliver the tutoring services.
During the meeting the board moved through and approved multiple consent blocks. Diana moved to approve the minutes of the May 26 work session and May 27 regular meeting; subsequent consent items advanced included the superintendent's report, facilities items (B2, items 18), transportation (B3, items 1'), special education projects (C1), education special projects, a personnel block (D, items 12) and the schedule of meetings. Each motion was moved, seconded and placed to roll call.
Mr. West read the board's statement on committee review and public forum procedure, explaining that items are reviewed in committee before being placed on a public agenda and outlining the three-minute public-comment limit and identification requirements for speakers.
The board did not take substantive final action on facilities consolidation at the meeting beyond approving the facilities consent block; Dr. Crater said the forthcoming analysis will present options and implications for budget and students. The board also confirmed it will continue committee work over the summer as staff complete the facilities analysis.
The meeting closed after an announcement about district athletes participating in a July all-state game and a motion to adjourn.
