New Jersey Commissioner of Education
Final Decision
In the Matter of Adrienne Doyle,
River Edge Board of Education, Bergen County.
The Commissioner has reviewed the record of this matter and the decision of the School
Ethics Commission (SEC), finding that respondent violated the School Ethics Act for failure to timely
complete board member training in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:12-33 and N.J.A.C. 6A:28-4.1. The
SEC’s decision was forwarded to the Commissioner for final determination on the recommended penalty
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:12-29(c). The SEC recommended a sanction of removal effective upon the
adoption of the decision by the Commissioner. Alternatively, if the respondent completed the required
training before the issuance of the Commissioner’s final decision, the SEC recommended that respondent
be suspended for 30 days. Respondent has neither filed exceptions to the recommended penalty nor
instituted an appeal of the SEC’s underlying finding of violation pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:4-1 et seq.
Upon review, the Commissioner concurs with the penalty recommended by the SEC for
respondent’s failure to timely honor an obligation placed upon board members by law. Accordingly, as of
the date of this decision, respondent is hereby removed from the board for violating the School Ethics
Act.
IT IS SO ORDERED.1
