The Bayonne Board of Education has voted to table part of a resolution That would revise a board policy regarding “controversial issues.”
The move came at the request of Bayonne Education Association (BEA) President Gene Woods. Woods took issue with some of the language in that policy at the July 27 board meeting.
Reviewing policy changes
At the June meeting, the board announced it would soon vote on changes to bylaws, guidelines, and policies and listed them online for the public to view. According to Woods, during their review of the changes, members of the BEA took issue with revisions to policy 6144 about “controversial issues.”
