Little Ferry School Board Directs Employee for Health Examination Amid Ongoing Projects

The Little Ferry School Board meeting on December 19, 2024, was marked by significant actions, including directing an employee to undergo a health examination and ongoing discussions about administrative contracts and school expansion projects. Additionally, the meeting included a farewell to a long-serving board member.

The board passed a resolution requiring an employee, identified only by their employee number, to undergo a physical and/or psychological examination.

The board cited state regulations and policies, and the employee will remain on administrative leave with full pay pending the examination results.

In other business, the board acknowledged Leslie Gottlieb for her years of service. A formal proclamation recognized her contributions. Gottlieb’s dedication was celebrated as she attended her last meeting as a board member.

Discussions on ongoing administrative contracts and hiring two paraprofessionals were addressed, although specific updates were limited due to the absence of recent committee meetings. The board is also progressing with the expansion of the new middle school, moving towards the bidding phase expected this winter.

Student achievements were recognized with the announcement of November’s Students of the Month across various grades, celebrating their academic and personal contributions. Additionally, the board commended the girls’ basketball team for reaching the finals in the annual holiday tournament.
