Mansfield Township School District Board of Education Monthly Meeting Minutes
December 10, 2018
I. Meeting started 7:30pm
.
Open Public Meeting Statement
The New Jersey Open Public Meetings Law enacted to insure the right of the public to have advance notice of and to
attend the meetings of the public bodies at which any business affecting their interest is discussed or acted upon.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Mansfield Township Board of Education has caused notice of this
meeting to be published by having the date, time and place thereof communicated to the Burlington County Times.
At times, it may appear to members of our audience that the board of education takes action with very little, if any,
comment and, in many cases, a unanimous vote. Before a matter is placed on the agenda at a public meeting, the
administration has thoroughly reviewed the matter and is satisfied that it is ready to be presented to the board of
education. The matter may have been previously discussed at the work session meeting. Board members preview
the agenda items and discuss questionable items with the Superintendent or Business Administrator so that when
they attend the meeting, there is usually no further need to question the issue. Only then is it voted upon as an
action item at a public meeting.
