0167 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN BOARD MEETINGS
The Board of Education recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and
the importance of allowing members of the public to express themselves on school matters of
community interest.
In order to permit the fair and orderly expression of such comment, the Board shall provide
a period for public comment at every public meeting of the Board. Public participation shall be
permitted only as indicated on the order of business in Board Bylaw No. 0164.
Public participation shall be extended to residents of this district, persons having a
legitimate interest in the actions of this Board, persons representing groups in the community or
school district, representatives of firms eligible to bid on materials or services solicited by the
Board, and employees and pupils of this district, except when the issue addressed by the
participant is subject to remediation by an alternate method provided for in policies or contracts of
the Board.
Public participation shall be governed by the following rules:
1.
All persons wishing to participate in a public Board meeting shall register their
intent with the Board Secretary in advance of the meeting.
2.
A participant must be recognized by the presiding officer and must preface
comments by an announcement of his or her name, place of residence, and group
affiliation, if appropriate.
3.
Each statement made by a participant shall be limited to five minutes' duration.
4.
No participant may speak more than once on the same topic until all others who
wish to speak on that topic have been heard.
5.
All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer; no participant may address
or question Board members individually.

The presiding officer may interrupt, warn, or terminate a participant's statement when the
statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant; request any
individual to leave the meeting when that person does not observe reasonable decorum; request the
assistance of law enforcement officers in the removal of a disorderly person when that person's
conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting; call for a recess or an adjournment to
another time when the lack of public decorum so interferes with the orderly conduct of the
meeting as to warrant such action; and waive these rules when necessary for the protection of
privacy or the efficient administration of the Board's business.

Code of Ethics
According to New Jersey statute, a school board member shall abide by the following
Code of Ethics:
a.
I will uphold and enforce all laws, rules and regulations of the State Board of
Education, and court orders pertaining to schools. Desired changes shall be
brought about only through legal and ethical procedures.
b.
I will make decisions in terms of the educational welfare of children and will
seek to develop and maintain public schools that meet the individual needs of all
children regardless of their ability, race, creed, sex, or social standing.
c.
I will confine my board action to policy making, planning, and appraisal, and I
will help to frame policies and plans only after the board has consulted those
who will be affected by them.
d.
I will carry out my responsibility, not to administer the schools, but, together
with my fellow board members, to see that they are well run.
e.
I will recognize that authority rests with the board of education and will make
no personal promises nor take any private action that may compromise the board.
f.
I will refuse to surrender my independent judgment to special interest or
partisan political groups or to use the schools for personal gain or for the gain
of friends.
g.
I will hold confidential all matters pertaining to the schools which, if
disclosed, would needlessly injure individuals or the schools. In all other
matters, I will provide accurate information and, in concert with my fellow
board members, interpret to the staff the aspirations of the community for its
school.
h.
I will vote to appoint the best qualified personnel available after consideration
of the recommendation of the chief administrative officer.
i.
I will support and protect school personnel in proper performance of their
j.
I will refer all complaints to the chief administrative officer and will act on the
complaints at public meetings only after failure of an administrative solution.
duties.
CHAIN OF COMMAND
All members of the Board of Education and employees of the Hopatcong School District are
directed to observe faithfully the chain of communications established by the district
organizational plan. A problem should be identified and its resolution attempted at the level most
immediate to the problem's origin.
The Board expressly disapproves of any attempt to expedite the resolution of a problem by
disregard of the organizational plan and the appropriate processes. A staff member's persistent
disregard for the established management organization of this district in violation of this policy
will be considered an act of insubordination subject to discipline.
PUBLIC COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES
The Superintendent shall establish procedures for the hearing of requests and complaints
regarding district personnel, the educational program, instructional and resource materials, and
the operation of the school district. Procedures will be governed by the following guidelines:
1.
The matter will be resolved initially, wherever possible, by informal discussions
between or among the interested parties.
2.
A matter that cannot be resolved informally may be appealed at successive levels
of authority, up to and including the Board of Education.
3.
The complaint and its immediate resolution will be reduced to writing at the first
and at each successive level of appeal.
DISCUSSION OF PERSONNEL
Under New Jersey’s Open Public Meetings Act, Boards of Education are confined to discuss
personnel issues in closed session.

issues and the importance of allowing members of the public to express
themselves on school matters of community interest.
In order to permit the fair and orderly expression of such comment, the Board
shall set aside a portion of every Board meeting, the length of the portion to be
determined by the Board, for public comment on any school or school district
issue that a member of the public feels may be of concern to the residents of the
school district. The Board president is responsible for orderly and dignified
conduct of all meetings. He or she is the spokesperson for the Board.
Public participation shall be governed by the following rules:
1. All persons wishing to participate in a public Board meeting shall sign
in register their intent with the Board Secretary prior to
commencement in advance of the meeting. When all participants
are heard, the Board President shall close the public comment
session. No further comments will be heard.

preface comments at the podium or microphone if provided by an
announcement of his/her name, place of residence, and group

4. No participant may speak more than once on the same topic during
either public comment session;
5. All statements, questions, or inquiries shall be directed to the
presiding officer; and any questions or inquiries directed by a
participant to another Board member shall be redirected to the
presiding officer who shall determine if such statement, question,
or inquiry shall be addressed by the presiding officer on behalf of
the Board or by the individual Board member; no participant may
address or question Board members or the administration individually.
The President shall listen to the comments, as long as they are in
alignment with our district policies and they have previously
followed the chain of command, if applicable. There shall be no
dialogue exchange with the public during the public portion of the
meeting. After comments are heard, the portion is closed and no
further comments are heard. Anyone reading long documents or
attacking any Board member or school official shall be ruled out of
order by the President. The public shall maintain a respectful decorum
towards all present at all times.
6. As per Board Policy No. 9130 Public Complaints and Grievances, any
misunderstandings or disputes between the public and school district
staff should, whenever possible, be settled by direct, informal
discussions among the interested parties. It is only when such
informal meetings fail to resolve differences that more formal
procedures shall be employed. A complaint about a school program or
personnel should be addressed to the building principal; a complaint
about instructional or resource materials should be addressed to the
Superintendent after discussion with the building principal. Only
those matters which cannot be resolved at the school level should then
be brought to the attention of the Superintendent of Schools who will
investigate the concern, or assign a staff member to do so.
7. As per Board Policy No. 0142 Board Member Qualifications,
Prohibited Acts and Code of Ethics, the Board members will refer all
complaints to the chief administrative officer and act on the complaints
at public meetings only after failure of an administrative solution. The
Board President will cease all public comments that do not adhere
to Board Policy No. 9130; and refer the person making such
comments to the Superintendent of Schools.

The Director of Transportation recommends the approval of the following member district for the 2015-2016 School Year:
Plumsted Township
28
Attachment No. 42e
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Sussex County Regional Cooperative (“SCRC), on behalf of the Hopatcong Board
of Education (the “Board”) opened bids presented for transportation services for routes E-160,
E-247, E-252, E-265, E-268, E-269, E-295, E-296, E-317, E-341, Q-185, Q-281, Q-287, Q-314, and
Q-334 (the “Routes”) on March 23, 2016;
WHEREAS, Destiny 23, LLC (“Destiny”) was the lowest bidder and commenced transportation
services for the Routes on April 1, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the specifications for the Routes specified that Route E-317 was a special education
out of district route and required the student designated to Route E-317 to be transported
alone at all times; and
WHEREAS, on April 6, 2016, Destiny transported the student designated for route E-317
significantly late to the destination without calling and advising the School; and
WHEREAS, the Board has reason to believe that on April 6, 2016, Destiny did not comply with
the terms of the specifications in transporting the student designated for Route E-317;
WHEREAS, Destiny has failed to adhere to the terms of the specifications by failing to notify the
School of an untimely arrival and by failing to have the bus operator transporting the student
on Route E-317 present proper transportation credentials;
WHEREAS, as a result of Destiny’s violations, the SCRC was forced to withdraw Route E-317
from Destiny and utilize the services of the second lowest bidder, BRCK Transport, Inc.,
(“BRCK”) for Route E-317; and
WHEREAS, Destiny’s poor performance does not assure the Board that Destiny will be able to
adequately perform under the terms of the contract and in compliance with the bid
specifications; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, upon consultation with the Board counsel, effective
April 25, 2016, Destiny’s transportation services for routes E-160, E-247, E-252, E-265, E-268, E269, E-296, E-296, E-317, E-341, Q-185, Q-281, Q-287, Q-314, and Q-334 are hereby
terminated; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, the second lowest bidder, BRCK, shall continue transportation
services for Route E-317 and the remaining Routes shall be awarded to the lowest bidder for
emergency transportation services quotes;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, the Director of Transportation for the SCRC is hereby authorized
to take any and all action to obtain emergency transportation route quotes for the remaining
Routes.
