The Bound Brook Board of Education approved a set of board resolutions identified as items 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 during its public meeting. S1 announced the motion by reading, “Be it resolved that the Bound Brook Board of Education approves the resolutions as outlined in board action resolutions,” and the motion passed on a recorded roll call.

Why it matters: The vote advances routine board business and formally records the board’s acceptance of the listed resolutions; board members also discussed acknowledging a local community partner that donated gift cards to the district.

S2 moved to approve the resolutions and S1 seconded the motion. During discussion, S2 said the board should “find a way to honor that organization at a board meeting somehow,” referring to a donation of gift cards from a local community partner; S1 agreed. The board then took a roll-call vote in which five members named in the transcript responded “Yes” (Mister Bell; Mister Dawson; Missus Nizai; Mister Menas; Mister Walmart), after which S1 announced that the motion carried.

The meeting record includes a reference to the Open Public Meetings Law and to Board of Education policy 0162 as the basis for how notice was provided; S1 said notice was posted at Bound Brook High School and mailed to the Courier News, borough clerks, the South Bound Brook Board of Education and to individuals who requested notice.

No members of the public spoke during the public-comment portion of the meeting. Later in the session S1 stated there was no need to enter an executive session that night, and a subsequent motion ‘‘to return’’ was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting concluded with brief thanks.

What the record does not show: The transcript records the names given during roll call and votes as spoken in the meeting; those names have not been independently verified against an official board roster. The text of the specific resolutions (4.2, 4.3 and 4.4) was not included verbatim in the transcript provided here, and any procedural or implementation steps tied to those resolutions were not specified during the recorded discussion.
