Linden Board of Education Meeting | October 15, 2026

The Linden Board of Education meeting was held October 15, 2026. The board approved the September 17 meeting minutes, and the superintendent and student representative reported on district enrollment, staffing vacancies, strategic-plan initiatives, student activities, and graduation-assessment results. The superintendent said the district would seek board approval for English language arts and mathematics teachers to provide tutoring for students who have not met graduation assessment requirements; no vote on that proposal appears in the available transcript. The board president requested updates on school HVAC improvements and the Dr. Rocco Tamasic Preschool Academy, but the transcript ends before the business administrator’s facilities presentation.

Public comment included a LegalShield presentation offering college-readiness information; the district suggested connecting the presenters with its college-and-career-readiness counselor, with no approval or purchase discussed. Another resident asked about a settlement, roughly $30,000 for 42 evaluation-related items, a PDRC budget amendment from approximately $1.07 million to $1.1 million, and a separate $35,000 expenditure. The transcript does not provide answers or show related votes, contract awards, or procurement decisions.
