A Tale of Two BOE Meetings: Hypocrisy, Policy, and Professionalism
Let’s take a trip down BOE memory lane to gain some much-needed perspective on the hypocrisy surrounding the outburst by incoming BOE member D. Terrero during the December 12, 2024, Board of Education (BOE) meeting.
Reflecting on the December 15, 2023, BOE Meeting
One year ago, at the December 15, 2023, BOE meeting, the former BH BOE addressed several items of new business. This included adopting three revised Board policies (0148, 0164, and 0155), the 2024 Board Goals, and an RFP.
At that meeting, newly elected Board candidates S. Akiri and N. Joly both made public statements respectfully requesting the Board delay adopting new policies and Board Goals until the new Board reorganized in Jan...

Awesome!
Actors should know their place. . .Aquaman knows.
There's corporate corruption in every level of our government.
I'd vote for her. Takes balls to stand up to bullies. And she did it without bullying.
Continue to stand up to that clown. Donelly should remove himself asap
More Shit tip, hick town in nowhere, rural USA, where we see corruption and lies. When will people see that the majority of people who enter these positions, do so for their own benefit, never that of the people they are supposed to represent......
Respect to this Lady. She is a Real member of the Council.
😈😈😈😈😈
Captain KNEW that the only way to answer without putting his foot in it is to give an non answer.
QUIT referring to the PUBLIC as an audience !!! its NOT a fucking show
Cop doesn't want to answer the question because he knows that they should have arrested the person who was trespassing on the property when there were signs saying no trespassing on the property , but cops are lazy and don't like writing reports
“You know my integrity” You’re a cop. You have none.
It's an American thing Just talking & not listening.
Was tha a gunshot sound in tha background?
Can we know how our public funds tax dollars are being spent?? We end up paying taxes but not given privilege to use the school buses for BHPS.
What is it with some woman I keep hearing interrupting everybody?! Who is doing that? Is it a board meeting or are every one of the board members being treated like concerned citizens that come forward with questions available instead of actual board members that partake in the group? "You get one question! Only one! Anymore and there will be severe consequences - the like of which has never been seen!" 🤬 Is this the German high court or parliament from the 1930s? Or is it a Berkeley Heights board of education meeting with somebody who is drunk on power? What is the harm in delaying a vote until March? Is there an agenda to be had here? Do board members have any power other than what her excellency, or whoever is running that meeting is permitting? Is there cake for them to eat?
Is it the same Mayor Angie Devanney WHO sent campaign flyers to the entire town supporting two candidates of her choice with NO disclaimer whatsoever talking about #transparency and accountability? Would love to hear her response on spending thousands of dollars on partisan campaign flyers using her official title.
Is the attorney allowed to engage in a discussion on a resolution without being asked to provide his opinion? How is his conduct of selectively speaking to the board member sitting next to him and whispering to board administrator and superintendent allowed? Is the board attorney from Cleary, Giacobbe and Alfeiri following the rules of professional conduct?
Pamela Stanley needs to understand basic procedures, screaming "POINT OF ORDER, POINT OF ORDER" to interrupt another elected member IS NOT allowed under Robert's rules of order. She needs to address all her questions to the chair of the meeting, also during the meeting we see her consulting with the board attorney and board attorney giving advice to a select few on the main table, how is that allowed? Board admin Mr.Juskiewisz for his 25years of experience seems incompetent in running the meeting lacking bare minimum knowledge of parliamentary procedures.
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ This lady need to read Robert’s Rules! MAIN MOTIONS CAN BE CHANGED BY SUBSIDIARY MOTIONS!! Pg. 126 on Robert’s Rules of order in brief
and the board administrator with 25 years of experience needs to let the board member Pamela Stanley sitting next to the board attorney to stop screaming at the public, interrupting board members and address her concerns to the chair of the meeting.
19:51 it’s not denied it’s Out of Order
You can’t say “according to Robert’s Rules” without referring to the specific rule
The mayor is absolutely correct. One should not use a personal grievance with an administrator in order to potentially vote "nay" against an unrelated judge. Any issues with that administrator sound a great deal as if they belong in a different venue.
This is speculation at its best! Also why can't public servants answer basic questions? what's the different venue? a closed door meeting where no constituents can listen in?
Those people are evil and corrupt
Evil how?
Is it ethical that the councilman is bringing up concerns that could be impacting all of the constituents?🎉
No, because what the councilman is actually doing is airing out personal grievances that have little to do with the business at hand. He is also trying to use his position to get answers about this personal grievance, which is an abuse of power.
An elected representative asked for supporting information and was not provided as he stated, his questions were not answered by the township administrator Ms. Vianna and instead diverted to the mayor who went on a weird mode of questioning and implied the councilman was making this personal! The councilman has every right to question.
Good for him for calling them out on record. These politicians are out of control.
We know absolutely nothing about why he has a problem but you're taking a side?
Mayor Angie Devanney asking: I want to understand how this is an ethical vote? Was it ethical when the same Mayor sent campaign flyers to the entire town supporting two candidates of her choice with NO disclaimer whatsoever?
Very good Bhargavi.
As we approach the start of the budget process (or have recently started), Sai's comments beginning at 31:36 are spot on. Every board member should be given information as it develops in order to be knowledgeable enough to ask pertinent questions and catch any errors.
Thought provoking indeed !

Courtesy and Subscription Busing - After August 10, 2023 Board meeting it is evident that entire board was NOT consulted and involved in making the decision to cancel subscription busing to Mountain Park, MKM and Columbia Middle School. Based on Vice President Joy Young’s report at the meeting on how the finance committee met and took a decision to cancel subscription busing is a probable violation of our district policies. How is it fair and #equitable to offer courtesy busing to 337 students but deny subscription busing to 41 students? How is it that driver shortage is uniquely impacting the subscription busing service only and there is ZERO impact on courtesy and mandated free busing? Why does the superintendent of a publicly funded school district gets to pick and choose who gets free courtesy busing while charge $1000 for the exact same busing service? (Both courtesy and subscription busing students do NOT qualify for free state mandated busing as students live under 2 or 2.5 miles to schools) Also the Superintendent, Board president Angela Penna and Vice President Joy Young refusing to answer questions until the first week of September while busing routes are finalized for select group of students is another probable violation. So is #Equity just a word incorporated in district goals now and doesn’t apply to busing students? bhcommunitywatch.com/2023/08/09/parent-questions-to-dr-varley-on-cuts-to-subscription-busing/
The fundamental question is why the deflection by the majority of the board including a retired educator then denial by committee chair followed by red tape? What are they trying to hide? #transparency #accountability
Thank you for the discussion.
Board Attorney Matt Giacobbe flip-flops and jumps into whatever puddle of opinion suits him. It’s very clear there is NO such law preventing a board member from amending a resolution. The board attorney seemed clueless as to which state statute prevents the splitting of a resolution. The board attorney’s initial objection stating the superintendent recommends the resolution and hence the board can only vote yes or NO is ridiculous. The agenda for the board meeting belongs to the elected board members and hence they have the ultimate authority to amend a resolution, vote, or table it.
Hi. Can I speak to someone from BHCW to understand more on what’s going on with the BOE at BH?
Hi! I have so many questions about BH BOE and the schools itself. Is there someone from BHCW that can share input?
Yes you can email bhcommunitywatch1@gmail.com
Thought provoking debate, indeed ! 👌👍
This group is ADHDs worst nightmare
That was a lot of yelling, lol.
(Shauna here) Based on feedback from this episode, my issues with the Collaborative Consultative Model are not a criticism of the Special Education department. I want to make clear that the model does work for some kids. However, for others it does not work, and I know that we are not the only ones. This is not a call to eliminate the model, but to make sure we aren’t doing harm with it. I also want to take a moment to personally thank Kevin Morra, the Supervisor of Special Education, for his compassion and help in working to fix what was broken for my son.
Dude looks nothing like Nixon.
If asking for accountability on how public taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently to run our schools makes one an angry parent. So be it! It’s our children’s future at stake here. For example - one should ask how many students dropped calculus in high school this year? Why we cannot get textbooks for science and Math for $63 Million dollars?
4:20 JP admits he has no control.
We stop bullshitting at 3 mins but we still should address what were planting in our gardens this year.
Yet to watch the complete podcast. I would like to thank Liza for being open to discuss the budget process. It’s amazing that she is willing to get on a podcast and talk. I have always found her to be responsive and I respect that.
