Here’s a look at just some of what’s going on in Fort Lee this week.
If your plans Monday evening included attending the Fort Lee Board of Education’s regular business meeting, you’ll want to think again. In case you missed it, school officials announced late last week that the meeting originally scheduled for Monday had been pushed back a week to Monday, July 30 at 8 p.m. in the Fort Lee High School library. School officials also announced earlier in the week that the school board meetings for the rest of the summer and continuing through September would take place in the library because air conditioning is being installed at the high school’s auditorium, where the meetings are usually held. Business Administrator Cheryl Balletto provided an update on construction and repair work from the more $30 million …

Music, Movies “under the stars” are also on tap this week with Wednesday and Saturday evening performances and a screening of the Universal classic "Jaws" at the Fort Lee Community Center.
The Fort Lee Board of Education meets Monday for the first time since it voted to appoint Steven Engravalle superintendent for the next three years after months of concern surrounding his appointment. At the same meeting, the school board failed to pass a resolution that would have provided student accident insurance for the 2012-2013 school year at a cost of $52,207, when two board members abstained and one voted against the measure. Board president Arthur Levine said a special meeting might be needed before the end of June if the school district wanted to have the insurance come July 1, but business administrator Cheryl Balletto said that when the board did not renew the insurance, she called the district’s broker and got it extended …

The Fort Lee Board of Education will hold a special public business meeting Tuesday at which appointment of a superintendent and an assistant superintendent are expected, bringing to an end months of speculation as to who would be in charge of the district once Interim Superintendent Steven Engravalle’s interim status expires at the end of June.

At a meeting on June 11, the board announced that the search for a permanent superintendent was down to two finalists for the position. School board member and chair of the personnel committee Peter Suh said the board had interviewed one of the finalists …

The Fort Lee Board of Education Monday kicks off a busy week for the local school system with a special meeting at Fort Lee High School. During a private session, the board will discuss personnel issues and the appointment of a superintendent, and although the agenda for the public session doesn’t currently include resolutions appointing a superintendent or renewing the contracts of previously non-renewed teachers like seventh grade Language Arts teacher Christina Martelo or seventh grade Science teacher Ian Zellman, walk-in resolutions are always possible. At the BOE’s meeting last week, school board officials said the superintendent search was down to two finalists, and students and others have been speaking out at meetings since May 7 …
