The election of board officers was a key focus, with Carol Houck being nominated and elected as board president without opposition. Similarly, Marge Gunther was elected vice president, with both votes reflecting unanimous support from board members. This change in leadership was met with gratitude from the newly elected officers, who expressed their appreciation for the board’s confidence and commitment to collaboration in serving the district’s interests.

Superintendent James Reina provided an update on the gymnasium floor repairs at the Gamy School, noting that the project was completed on schedule. The gym is set to host basketball games and the floor hockey section of the New Jersey Special Olympics.

Reina also reported on the success of the district’s Performing Arts programs, highlighting student participation despite previous budget cuts that affected arts education in the region. He emphasized the importance of these programs and the strong community support they receive, as evidenced by the large attendance at recent holiday performances.

In addition, the superintendent commended the efforts of staff and students in providing for those in need through initiatives such as military drives and the care closet program. These efforts resulted in significant donations and support for students.
