September 19 Elizabeth Board of Education Meeting
The September 19 Elizabeth Board of Education business meeting at Donald Stewart Early Childhood Center School No. 51 opened with a moment of silence for retired Supervisor of Transportation William Francis McGinnity III and Joseph Renand Barthelus, uncle of Board President Charlene Bathelus.
Board President Bathelus presented a video spotlighting Board member Diane Barbosa who during the month of September is sponsoring the National Self-Care Awareness Month initiative. During the month of September, Barbosa has met with school nurses throughout the district to thank them for their dedication to keeping our students and team members healthy and to ask them for ways in which we can perform self-care to improve our health and well-being. As a healthcare professional, she understands and values the importance of self-care and encourages others to take care of themselves each day as it is one of the most powerful things they can do, not just for their own health and happiness, but for those around them as well.
Elizabeth Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Olga Hugelmeyer presented the community updates and Inside EPS news from Central for September.
