So that all Board members will have a chance to participate there are 10 numbers and we‟re going to ask that Comm. Kerr start with Item No. 1 and we will work our way down through Item No. 10. Comm. Kerr: 1. I will uphold and enforce all laws, state board rules and regulations, and court orders pertaining to schools. Desired changes should be brought about only through legal and ethical procedures. Comm. Hodges: 2. I will make decisions in terms of the educational welfare of children and will seek to develop and maintain public schools which meet the individual needs of all children regardless of their ability, race, creed, sex or social standing. Comm. Irving: 3. I will confine my board action to policymaking, 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. Comm. Guzman: 4. 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. Comm. Best: 5. I will recognize that authority rests with the board of education and will make no personal promises nor take any private action which may compromise the board. Comm. Mendez: 6. 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. Comm. Rodriguez: 7. I will hold confidential all matters pertaining to the schools which, if disclosed, would needlessly injure individuals or the schools. But 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 schools. Page 4 05/05/10 Comm. Simmons: 8. I will vote to appoint the best qualified personnel available after consideration of the recommendation of the chief administrative officer. Comm. Taylor: 9. I will support and protect school personnel in proper performance of their duties. Comm. Kerr: 10. I will refer all complaints to the chief administrative officer and will act on such complaints at public meetings only after failure of an administrative solution. Comm. Best: Are there any questions, comments, or concerns as it relates to the New Jersey School Board Member Code of Ethics? Do we have to accept a motion? Ms. Cheryl Williams: No. Comm. Best: Thank you, Cheryl. SELECTION PROCESS FOR BOARD STANDING COMMITTEES Comm. Best: At this time, we would actually like to table the appointment of the standing committee chairs. I ask that all Board members have a chance in their Board packets to fill out which committees they would like to serve on and whether or not they would like to be the chair of that committee. You can list your top three committee assignments. APPOINTMENT TO PASSAIC COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND NJSBA LEGISLATIVE DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE Comm. Best: We will also table the appointment to the Passaic County School Board and the appointment of the New Jersey School Boards Association Legislative Delegate and Alternate.
