Montague, a one-school district serving students in pre-kindergarten through grade eight, petitioned the state education commissioner in December 2019 for approval to end its relationship with High Point Regional, in Wantage, so it could go back to sending students in grades 9-12 to Port Jervis High School in New York.
A subsequent lawsuit by Montague, filed December 2020, accused High Point of bad-faith obstruction of its petition, which was not ruled on and is now a dead issue.
Montague s resolution directs its legal counsel to immediately withdraw the board from the above-referenced actions and cease the performance of any and all actions related to termination of the board s sending-receiving relationship with High Point Regional Board of Education.

MONTAGUE Superintendent Timothy Capone s use of the school s Honeywell phone alert system and social media pages to criticize board members and even district parents is a conversation that will be continued in executive session with lawyers present, said Board of Education President Barbara Holstein.
Holstein said this after the board hosted a presentation on school board ethics by New Jersey School Boards Association representative Kathy Helewa.
Capone, however, has since taken to social media where he again criticized the board member who first proposed that policy. His Facebook post on Tuesday stated that the board member as well as a district parent critical of some of his actions had been non-renewed from their teaching positions in other districts.
