- Meeting Overview:
The West Essex School Board meeting on January 4th, 2024, was marked by the swearing-in of new board member Lea Cristal and the re-election of members Frank Parate and Jonathan Sher. Mary Wajtz was elected as the new Board President, with Miss Calderone appointed as Vice President. The meeting also covered routine reorganization motions, a brief superintendent report, and a public session for comments.
The meeting began with the formal induction of Lea Cristal, who took the oath of office alongside re-elected members Frank Parate and Jonathan Sher.
Subsequently, Mary Wajtz was unanimously elected as the Board President, a role critical for the leadership and direction of the board. Alongside, Miss Calderone was nominated and appointed as Vice President without contest.
The superintendent, Damion Macioci, offered a succinct report, welcoming the new board member and expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming school year.
During the meeting, a series of reorganization motions were presented and unanimously approved, as recommended by Superintendent Damion Macioci. These motions, described as non-controversial and pertaining to team business, included approval of various school improvements, specifically the culinary art room and the STEM room, which emphasize the board’s focus on enhancing educational facilities.
No committees met prior to the new year, and there were no reports from board committees. The public comments session on agenda items saw no participation from attendees, and the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn into a private session to discuss negotiations and litigation.
