The Board of Education squabbles over resolution timing
×
Heated discussion flared between socially distant board members behind plexiglass.
The Bayonne Board of Education voted down a resolution at its Dec. 10 meeting authored by Trustee Ava Finnerty regarding proposed changes to policy dictating board meeting conduct. Throughout the year, she has been calling for an earlier deadline regarding when resolutions can be added to a meeting’s agenda.
Preventing last-minute resolutions
Finnerty wants a rule that resolutions or other items must be added to an agenda ten days before a board meeting. She called the proposed policy change “a matter of transparency” and said it was written consultation with the New Jersey School Board Association.
