The Lacey Township Board of Education approved a series of routine agenda items by roll call at Thursday's meeting and adopted a censure resolution tied to a School Ethics Commission matter.

What the board approved: By recorded roll calls the board approved minutes, bills, transfers, finance and facilities items, donations, curriculum items, and personnel certificates and non‑certificated personnel actions. Board members recorded "yes" votes in favor of each routine motion during the meeting's consent agenda roll calls.

Censure adopted: The board also adopted a resolution to censure a former board member, Regina DeCenzo, following the School Ethics Commission's findings and a final determination by the Commissioner of Education. The commission had found violations of provisions of the School Ethics Act in an earlier decision and transmitted the matter for hearing; the commissioner concurred with a censure penalty. The board read the formal resolution into the record, posted it per rule, and ordered it posted and filed as required by regulation.

Budget procedural note: Separately, the board did not approve a tentative budget at the statutory deadline and declined to submit an application at a special meeting to exceed the 2% tax levy cap (an option that would have raised local taxes by 14.24% in one alternative presented). Because the tentative budget was not adopted, the district said it was at risk of having state authorities exercise additional review.

Ending: The board concluded the meeting after routine roll call approvals and the censure vote; several items required follow‑up filings and public posting per state administrative code.
