Voting Meeting May 26, 2015

10. Public Meeting will resume in the High School North library after 15 minutes

11. Mission Statement:

The Middletown Township School District, in partnership with our historically and culturally rich

community, provides students with a rigorous and relevant education, in conjunction with the New

Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and the National Common Core Standards that

motivates them to recognize and develop their full potential as responsible citizens in a dynamic

global environment.

12. Code of Ethics for School Board Members (Statute 18A:12-24.1):

I will uphold and enforce all laws, state board rules and regulations, and court orders pertaining

to schools. Desired changes should be brought about only through legal and ethical procedures.

I will make decisions in terms of the educational welfare of children and will seek to develop and

maintain public schools which meet the individual needs of all children regardless of their ability,

race, creed, sex or social standing.

I will confine my board action to policymaking, planning, and appraisal, and I will help to frame

policies and plans only after the board has consulted those who will be affected by them.

I will carry out my responsibility, not to administer the schools, but, together with my fellow

board members, to see that they are well run.

I will recognize that authority rests with the board of education and will make no personal

promises nor take any private action which may compromise the board.

I will refuse to surrender my independent judgment to special interest or partisan political groups

or to use the schools for personal gain or for the gain of friends.

I will hold confidential all matters pertaining to the schools which, if disclosed, would needlessly

injure individuals or the schools. But, in all other matters, I will provide accurate information

and, in concert with my fellow board members, interpret to the staff the aspirations of the

community for its schools.

I will vote to appoint the best qualified personnel available after consideration of the

recommendation of the chief administrative officer.

I will support and protect school personnel in proper performance of their duties.

I will refer all complaints to the chief administrative officer and will act on such complaints at

public meetings only after failure of an administrative solution.
