Hammonton BOE Meeting: December 16, 2025

The Hammonton Board of Education held a meeting on December 16, 2025, primarily to fill a vacant board seat left by a resignation. The meeting included public comments expressing concerns about the transparency and timing of the application process for the vacancy, with a motion made and seconded to postpone and reopen the search for additional candidates. After candidate interviews and discussion, the board appointed Gemma Geralo to fill the vacancy. Additionally, the board approved a change order for the Early Childhood Center PreK expansion project, specifically change order number three for access controls and cabling, amounting to $6,312.94, which was deducted from the project's allowance without increasing the overall budget. The meeting also addressed recent safety incidents and community concerns but focused procurement-related actions on the capital improvement project change order approval.
