Lonnie Jacob, a Robbinsville resident who said he participated in early parent-group work, recounted the history of the Ad Hoc Special Education Committee and said it was created in January 2021 amid pandemic-related service interruptions. Jacob told the board the committee was intended to provide \"high visibility into students with special education needs\" to ensure therapies and services continued when in-person schedules and supports were disrupted.

Nosheen Kanani, Robbinsville, told board members she is concerned about school security and urged the district to make security planning and coordination with the township and school resource officers a higher, ongoing priority. Kanani said, \"I don't want us to think that we are in a bubble,\" and asked the board to hold regular meetings with SROs and township officials rather than infrequent ad hoc briefings.

Other public commenters welcomed newly elected board members and the new superintendent, Dr. Pizzo, and thanked outgoing board members for their service. Chris Semiholtz and Mike Todd, both Robbinsville residents, offered brief congratulations and civic remarks; Todd, who also serves on the township council, said he looked forward to continued township–board coordination.

Board members said the district had submitted a statement to the DEP regarding the crematorium and that the board had received a receipt confirming the submission; they said the district would share the text of that submission with the community and post it by the end of the month.

The public-comment portion was opened and closed by motion during the meeting; comments were limited by district policy and the New Jersey School Boards Association protocol referenced by the presiding officer.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Robbinsville Public Schools 2025/1/2 - Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","During public comment at the Jan. 2 Robbinsville Board of Education meeting residents recounted the origin of the Ad Hoc Special Education Committee, urged more frequent security discussions, and asked for transparency about a board submission to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regarding a proposed crematorium.","taxTitle","Robbinsville Public Schools, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",54429,"location","New Jersey","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6176736,"Robbinsville Board elects Ullberg president, folds tech and security into business committee",1665,661000,2326000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5344744-6681325161062508a216174f840769c1&start=661&end=2326","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5344744-6681325161062508a216174f840769c1/thumbnail_661000.jpg","/articles/6176736/New-Jersey/Robbinsville-Board-elects-Ullberg-president-folds-tech-and-security-into-business-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176736-ecc89e518cd64bd8cfa8602191fe15ff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771009701&Signature=TEGoY0uF4XUIJz5qTF4XV5OCQwh3cp2-IgIOCEMpNV~f5yHiAfzll9~T1e1t-xiHqAHvRDJzl8u8X15XOisVxXE1wR6XEt1Y1RRFoJrgqaitjLGAReBsIq-w9W3kF7zNKv7Ox9ZVcB8flvS-nork8jfvSOAyZSOB52GGAlnSQcCEVHExsdfH39Nh3X6TOKc5cmXvCTJKpmkbNoglivWwWWgVA1wUagtmWyrKINopysWFwhHR1Jj4JyGXxglcPG2~pggoOSBTB2y5Dmw0JSs8E5CiPbDnutKatzeX~Y2-TulsAv6ncvpz5NvUn8IM6WVlwKMLHg5UI2GDWmVcmYaWCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Robbinsville Board of Education on Jan. 2 elected Peter Ullberg president and Dr. Jeffrey Piero vice president and approved a reorganization of committee assignments that will fold ad hoc technology and security work into the standing business committee while leaving the status of the Ad Hoc Special Education Committee under review.

Board members took the oath of office and completed roll call at the Pond Road Middle School cafeteria before nominations and votes. The motion to elect Ullberg as president passed on a roll-call vote; board members present recorded their assent. The board subsequently approved Dr. Piero to serve as vice president and adopted the slate of committee chairs and vice chairs announced by the president.

Board leaders said the consolidation is intended to reduce duplication and make committee work more efficient. Members discussed several options during the reorganization meeting and agreed to make technology and security standing items within the business committee so those topics receive regular, scheduled attention. Board members also said ad hocs could be re-created later if circumstances require.

The board debated whether to retain a separate Ad Hoc Special Education Committee. Several members argued special education merits focused attention; others said bringing special-education work into Education, Development and Policy meetings and appointing a liaison to community parent groups could achieve the same oversight while improving integration with general curriculum planning. The board did not dissolve the Ad Hoc Special Education Committee at the meeting and left final membership and structure to be settled before the next regular meeting.

The board also announced preliminary committee assignments: Dr. Piero as chair of business operations with a co‑chair arrangement noted; Miss Lehman to chair Education, Development and Policy; Miss Bandukta to chair Personnel; and other assignments for community relations, negotiations and liaison roles presented by the president. The president said the assignments can be adjusted and that final rosters would be confirmed prior to the next board meeting to allow posting and scheduling.

Procedural votes at the meeting included roll-call approvals of the reorganizational motions and an omnibus approval of appointments, designations and business‑operation items, which passed unanimously.

The board signaled that tech and security items will be standing agenda items in the business committee, with the option to schedule separate meetings or subcommittees if workload requires it. The board president said the changes were not final and can be changed as needs arise.

Next steps: the board will finalize committee rosters for posting and may name a special-education liaison to coordinate with community parent groups before the next monthly meeting.","At its Jan. 2 reorganization meeting the Robbinsville Board of Education elected Peter Ullberg as president and Dr. Jeffrey Piero as vice president, approved committee assignments and agreed to consolidate ad hoc technology and security work into the business committee while deferring a final decision on the Ad Hoc Special Education Committee.","actionData","errors"]
