Meeting Cancelled: Transitional BOE

Date:

Meeting Cancelled

The first meeting of the newly formed transitional Henry Hudson Regional Board of Education scheduled for 6 P.M. this evening was suddenly cancelled, so suddenly that even at least one of a new board member didn’t even know about it.

Nor did the public, as least two of them, seeing the notice of the meeting still posted on the Henry Hudson website, showed up to attend only to find all the doors at Henry Hudson Regional School closed, locked, and no one responding to any efforts to enter.  The meeting cancelled.

The one board member who showed up for the meeting, an Atlantic Highlands member of the outgoing Henry Hudson Board, was as questioning as the residents when he, too, arrived, tried to enter and was curious as to why he could not.

Contacting another Atlantic Highlands member of the newly formed board, he learned the meeting was cancelled because of some legal or technical reasons, which was why the new board could not organize until at least something else was completed first.   He had not been notified, he said. Nor did he see any e-mail notification when he made a last-minute check in the school parking lot.

No date has been set for the organizational meeting, and the Henry Hudson Regional School page still indicates, at the time I wrote this article, that the meeting was scheduled for November 8 at 6 p.m. in the Hudson school cafetorium. The Henry Hudson Tri District page does show the meeting cancelled but does not indicate any reason why.

Members of the transitional board of education, which will serve until the November 2024 election determines the first elected board for the newly formed k-12 school district are Rebecca Kane-Wells, Irene Campbell, Diane Knox, Richard Doust, Donald Krueger, Ulrike Stock Allyson Jacobs, Karin Masina and Cory Wingerter.
