Hunterdon Central Board Plans to Dissolve Joint Transportation Committee

The Hunterdon Central School Board has made a decision to dissolve the Joint Transportation Committee by July 1, 2025, in collaboration with the Flemington Raritan Regional School District Board of Education. This move was announced during the latest school board meeting, which covered a spectrum of topics from personnel appointments to policy updates, financial approvals, and the establishment of new student programs.

The intention to dissolve the Joint Transportation Committee was a key focus during the meeting. A motion was approved to provide notice of this intention. While the motion was largely met with agreement, concerns were raised regarding the process and the importance of involving stakeholders in the transition.

In personnel matters, the board approved 32 agenda items, which included retirements, resignations, and various appointments for the upcoming school term. Among these were new counselors, summer counseling services work, and new student orientation staff. Additionally, a sidebar agreement to the HCA contract was noted, reflecting ongoing adjustments to personnel agreements.

The board also addressed 31 policy updates, including first reads on topics such as educational equity, evaluation of the superintendent, and curriculum content. The policy committee was commended for its diligence in tracking these updates, and the decision was made to bring back one topic that had been subject to much discussion for further review.

Financially, the board moved through 16 items, approving matters ranging from invoices and transfers to the acceptance of a grant and the renewal of transportation routes. Notable was the disposal of a stationary serving counter and the approval of student parking fees, which are indicative of the ongoing management of the district’s assets and resources.

Among these were the approval of an overnight field trip for the dance team, the establishment of a new club called “Girls Who Code,” and name changes for three existing clubs, showing a responsiveness to student interests and contemporary issues.

Updates on various policies and regulations were also presented, including those related to sports-related concussions, special education, and suicide prevention. These updates spanned release dates from February 2017 to June 2024.

In a notable development, a board member announced their resignation due to a family move. This departure will lead to a future appointment to fill the vacancy, as the member expressed gratitude for their experiences while serving on the board.
