The resolution authorizes the board president to execute a binding LOI for the potential purchase, but makes clear the purchase remains subject to board approval of a purchase agreement at a future regular meeting and any required government approvals. The motion to authorize the LOI was moved and seconded; during roll-call voting the members present recorded affirmative votes from Miss Acevedo, Miss Downs, T.C. McCourt, Scott Miller, Miss Phillips, Miss Pinellas, Dr. Senner, Susan Shower and Miss Sones. The resolution carried.

The motion’s text specified the LOI is binding in form but dependent on subsequent actions: final board approval of a purchase agreement and any external approvals required by law or regulation. The board did not adopt a purchase agreement at the Jan. 9 meeting; staff indicated further review and future board consideration will follow.

No dollar amounts or seller names were disclosed in the meeting record. The resolution’s minutes note the transaction remains contingent on customary due diligence and future board action.

The board member said a state education committee met Dec. 5 and that Senate Bill 3917 would alter state school aid formulas, potentially affecting local tax levy caps, extraordinary special education aid and vocational stabilization aid. The board member noted that Dover had received increased equalization aid in recent years and urged members to advocate to preserve or expand that support. The member said the New Jersey School Boards Association provided information and that there are in-person and written-comment opportunities before the state board.

The trustee offered to forward links to the board and asked members to consider attending sessions in person or submitting written comments to the state to protect the district’s funding formula. No formal action or vote was taken on the matter at the meeting.

Board members said six proposed meeting dates (May, June, July, August, October and December) conflicted with council dates or required further administrative input; April raised an additional scheduling issue because the earliest practicable date for a required budget vote falls on Thursday, April 24, rather than the board’s customary Tuesday meeting pattern. Members discussed advertising and public-notice obligations if dates are changed.

The board agreed by roll call to approve the January, February and March meeting dates now and to circulate alternative dates for April through December to finalize at the board’s next regular meeting. The vote recorded affirmative responses from the board members present. Several members urged the district to coordinate with the town in advance to avoid recurring conflicts in future years.

The board also discussed that some committee appointments historically have been made by the president without a board vote, but Dover’s past practice has been to record them formally; trustees agreed to exchange preferences by email to the president and vice president ahead of the next meeting.

McCourt before electing Scott Miller as board president and Miss Phillips as vice president.

The board called the meeting to order at 6:32 p.m. and proceeded to administer oaths for newly elected members. Board attorney John Croot administered the oath to Shower and Miller; a separate official administered the oath to T.C. McCourt. After the swearing-in, members moved to the nominations and elections for board officers.

A board member moved to nominate Scott Miller for president; no other nominations were offered and the nominations were closed. The board then voted by roll call to elect Miller. The roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes from Miss Acevedo, Miss Downs, T.C. McCourt, Scott Miller, Miss Phillips, Miss Pinellas, Dr. Senner, Susan Shower and Miss Sones; the motion carried.

For vice president, Scott Miller moved to nominate Miss Phillips; the motion was seconded and the board elected Phillips by roll call with the same affirmative votes. Both officers will serve until the next organization meeting prescribed by law.

After the vote Miller addressed the board and the public, thanking teachers, staff and families and saying, \"Our schools are the heart of our community,\" and pledging a focus on stability, communication and student success. Several board members offered brief remarks following the leader selections and the meeting moved on to committee assignments and other agenda business.

Votes at this meeting included the formal swearing-in of two members and the election of president and vice president. No changes to those outcomes were recorded on the meeting record.
