RESOLUTION NO. GP-0029-11-12 SUBJECT: APPROVAL RESOLUTION OF HOBOKEN BOARD OF EDUCATION AUTHORIZING THE CHANGE OF THE ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION TO NOVEMBER AND THE ELIMINATION OF THE VOTE ON THE ANNUAL BUDGET WHEREAS, Public Law 2011, c.202 provides that a local board of education may adopt a resolution to change the election date of school board members from the third Tuesday in April to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (the General Election); and WHEREAS, such action requires the adoption of a resolution by the local board of education; and WHEREAS, the above legislation eliminates the annual voter referendum on the proposed general fund tax levy that is within the statutory cap imposed by the State of New Jersey in school districts where board of education members are selected at the General Election; and WHEREAS, the above legislation requires that the change in election date remain in effect for four years; and WHEREAS, the above legislation requires that an additional general fund tax levy proposal (i.e., for an expenditure in excess of the tax levy cap) be presented to voters as a separate question at the General Election; and WHEREAS, the Hoboken Board of Education believes that the financial interest of its constituents is safeguarded by the state’s tax levy cap and the thorough review of the proposed school budget by the Executive County Superintendent; and WHEREAS, the Hoboken Board of Education budget must meet the local share requirement set forth in N.J.S.A. 18A:7F-5 et seq., which provides that the municipal governing body cannot certify a general fund tax levy that does not meet the required local provisions, thereby precluding a reduction in the tax levy even if a budget were not approved by the voters; and WHEREAS, the Hoboken Board of Education believes that more citizens will participate in the selection of its members at the General Election than on the third Tuesday in April and that the higher level of participation will foster positive interest in our public schools; and WHEREAS, a separate school election typically costs the taxpayers of Hoboken $80,000 to $90,000 annually.


AGENDA


NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that, pursuant to P.L. 2011, c. 202, the Hoboken Board of Education changes the annual election date for its members from the third Tuesday in April to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (the General Election), beginning in 2012; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, pursuant to P.L. 2011, c. 202, this change will remain in effect at least through November 2015; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, pursuant to P.L. 2011, c. 202, the annual organization meeting of the Hoboken Board of Education will take place in the first week of January following the November General Election and that the board of education’s next organization meeting will take place on January __, 2013; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, pursuant to P.L. 2011, c. 202, members of the Hoboken Board of Education whose terms would have expired by May 1, 2012 will continue to serve in office until the January 2013 organization meeting; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution be transmitted to Richard E.
