Dr. McCann and Dr. Kearns said the midyear figures show relatively small numbers of reported incidents for the time period. The presenters reported that, through December, four cases had been submitted to SSDS in each school and that two of those were confirmed as harassment, intimidation or bullying (HIB) incidents at each building during that reporting window.

Administrators described classroom and schoolwide prevention efforts aimed at reducing violence, bullying, vandalism and substance misuse. Middle-school programming cited included digital citizenship content in seventh-grade computer classes and PBSIS initiatives that reward students for being “ready, respectful and responsible.” High-school programming highlighted Steered Straight presentations during testing, the Drive Alive impaired-driving simulator (funded in part by senior parking fees, administrators said) and annual presentations from survivors in the “After the Fire” program.

The district also emphasized an anonymous reporting tool, the Stop It app. Administrators said students can download the app, select the district and submit anonymous reports; the district receives email and text alerts and has the capacity to message back to request more detail. Presenters said the app has helped the district address lower-level problems before they escalate, and that, in some cases, Stop It company staff alert district officials directly when submissions are judged to be urgent.

Board members asked whether midyear declines in violence or substance-abuse reports indicate a trend. Presenters cautioned the board that midyear numbers are not a full-year data set and are difficult to interpret without the complete annual report. The district said it will return with the full-year SSDS report later in the year.

No formal board action was taken during the presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","NB BOE Regular Meeting - Monday, April 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Northern Burlington County Regional School Distric administrators presented a midyear Student Safety Data System report on April 14, saying four incidents were submitted through December at each school and two were confirmed HIBs at each building during that period.","taxTitle","Northern Burlington County Regional School Distric, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",72666,"location","New Jersey","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6605119,"Northern Burlington board approves consent agenda including HVAC, marquee and energy-auction authorizations",1966,336000,2302000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987324-030a57fb32397744d7b1980bca9c8d75&start=336&end=2302","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987324-030a57fb32397744d7b1980bca9c8d75/thumbnail_336000.jpg","/articles/6605119/New-Jersey/Northern-Burlington-board-approves-consent-agenda-including-HVAC-marquee-and-energy-auction-authorizations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6605119-dc4c6b2c8911b9cc18af3037c9adb95f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450675&Signature=dP6dS7GHW77HXsFZRcRkISbRiCtgTEz5hnv6v9vFv~qKlJRy1hzqS8jD-7qnVlpxtVgmjLLUDte3sLE8vQKgzuIEwgyN1Lkx2tQJmwveyMnfidMRSV1I-1yHWOnhIPGn6sPG69t1cU9ka~rYQYQmw~XrMkGEDmWcvsyw0CC4NEx-DKu2RSkojkf2HYjX12UF4RI4BFeJsTOKe0YW0QYo~rNEPxLS5qLfE46aDlX6bxgZ~f6GWPKHwphTH9cstI0OCkdx9RmwfgylSC4cXYRUSNhvbePCPry0Dv45UUy4~XurvVIu45IyStyvbAUMMJOSbtu7TqvIDz5WMvE3ozmIWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Northern Burlington County Regional School Distric approved its consent agenda on April 14, 2025, adopting a package of routine resolutions that included a $425,000 contract to replace a middle-school rooftop HVAC unit, authorization to replace the school marquee, renewal of the district’s three-year membership in the Berlin County Insurance Pool Joint Insurance Fund and authorization for the business administrator to run reverse online auctions for electric and natural gas supply.

The consent package was presented as a single roll-call motion and passed. Board members voted yes on the motion; Board member Bond recorded abstentions on two listed minutes items (5.02 and 5.04) during the vote.

The consent agenda grouped dozens of routine items — minutes, financial reports, cafeteria reports, budget transfers and personnel appointments — into a single vote. Specific business and facilities items spelled out on the agenda and approved under the consent motion included: the purchase and installation of the middle-school rooftop HVAC unit (listed at $425,000 to CM3), replacement of the exterior marquee (contracting KC Signs & Awnings listed on the agenda), renewal of the district’s three-year participation in the Berlin County Insurance Pool (BCIP JIF) and resolutions authorizing the business administrator to open online reverse auctions for electricity and natural gas supply.

Board members were given the opportunity to pull individual items from the consent agenda for separate discussion; no items were removed prior to the roll-call vote. The board president read the standard consent-agenda motion language explaining that any board member could request removal of items for discussion before the vote.

The board did not discuss details of each vendor contract during the public meeting. The business administrator said the results of the electric supply auction will be reported at the next meeting and that the district is not obligated to accept auction results if they are unfavorable. The business administrator also reported that the state had approved the district’s tentative 2025–26 budget and that a public budget hearing will be advertised for the board’s May 5 meeting.

Other routine approvals included updates to job descriptions, approval of out-of-district placements and home-instruction services, acceptance of a donation for Northern Burlington High School and several policy adoptions and regulations listed on the agenda.

The board Chair called the roll and announced the motion passed.","The Northern Burlington County Regional School Distric approved its consent agenda on April 14, adopting a package of routine resolutions that included a $425,000 rooftop HVAC replacement, a marquee replacement and authorization of online reverse energy auctions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6605105,"Parents raise special-education record error and field-access concerns during public comment",235,2445000,2680000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987324-030a57fb32397744d7b1980bca9c8d75&start=2445&end=2680","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987324-030a57fb32397744d7b1980bca9c8d75/thumbnail_2445000.jpg","/articles/6605105/New-Jersey/Parents-raise-special-education-record-error-and-field-access-concerns-during-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6605105-89684c900cbe9dc96feb5841ea777ef1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450675&Signature=cRDDUMhLqJ7u2HalkkZGdZoOvBGIaRmvBlYgivj~3ePTxwBhx~eGXTKBgJhoW-gD5jku3I7gB5zM5fFAuByPOSsepyTFl-oS5MDsf4Fc8VuPzWI6kjJ2vNdXh6CckyaYxZQPS8mhKRtI4rMONJW646gLVQApFPydGo3vfxs7AgDek7a3PtEY~A8HkjTOHRvJeVz5pC2XYjblflkCiPW1aS0h-0uwK-ZYqgeThhRr5lhFPCwn-Mp11Vy7NWJMORpSken5wFhod-sG4PQYgTYXMjp82mH4sIT0lXdEuQBsetonGhNEIDZvc0NcAX2cZU8zRlm6wOWauEnmk-joA0WYzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public-comment period at the April 14 meeting, parent Luke Klein said he previously reported allegations concerning his child’s special-education services and said he had not received a timely follow-up from the district.

Klein said he was expecting a written response after raising concerns about the district’s handling of his child’s supports and about staff knowledge of mental-health needs. He also said the family had requested a copy of a recorded meeting with school officials and, when they picked up the recording, received an hour-long recording of another student’s record. \"If you give somebody a student record, you should probably verify it's that child's record,\" Klein said, and he asked the board for a written response identifying the location of his child’s record.

Christina Drumm of Springfield Township, who identified herself as a member of the Springfield Township Board of Education and was speaking on her own behalf, raised questions about how junior and senior parking fees are used. She asked whether the Drive Alive impaired-driving simulator paid for with parking funds covered all seniors or only those who used the simulator and whether residual funds remain after the program cost. Drumm also asked about the replacement marquee’s expected lifespan and raised a safety concern about pedestrian access to the rear fields, asking whether stairs and railings could be added to improve accessibility for older adults and people with disabilities.

The board reminded speakers that public comment is intended for the public to state concerns and not a question-and-answer session; officials said the administration would investigate the specific record-handling allegation and respond at a future meeting or via appropriate staff follow-up.

No formal board action was taken during public comment; the board Chair closed the public-comment period after the scheduled speakers.","During public comment a parent, Luke Klein, alleged the district provided another child's recorded meeting instead of his child's record and asked for a written response; Christina Drumm, a Springfield Township board member, asked about senior parking fee spending on Drive Alive, marquee lifespan and accessibility to fields for older adults.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6605110,"Superintendent recommends Jamie Williams as business administrator; tentative 2025–26 budget approved by state",230,99000,329000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987324-030a57fb32397744d7b1980bca9c8d75&start=99&end=329","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987324-030a57fb32397744d7b1980bca9c8d75/thumbnail_99000.jpg","/articles/6605110/New-Jersey/Superintendent-recommends-Jamie-Williams-as-business-administrator-tentative-202526-budget-approved-by-state","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6605110-1cd4035d5848eb54be7de6fe538e189e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450675&Signature=WRHg~O~DNWOZA-3sTHhE7I1Ib60AsYWTETxOoXoY6VW5Hx7Iby6VH3tKbJ4f0mVdErzPdxLhBTdBVNnCr7dBxW6Xx8NTXOsQCAXI7kb~VHRA2nAVx7F9311draApT1JYbrHIM3kxcE3Q3fbKgP5bts6vRJimTkZ38SwtxlSgs6O1phQjg2JrXUzha807CPg849LwJV3~89AMuRVVzqmBpti-xQNSV~eOSxOdOZcpfzV5F7gZQs~9YxriXSWQ6zdaG98uozYKcGc8YfZ9xlQbVKdnEJUVfczPahWwCmfTe-S17b04hMy1IfAxj9NBrZfG-wRwaeaLGRWq-9Gx7wC7zA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Dr. Zuckerman recommended at the April 14 meeting that Jamie Williams be appointed to fill the district’s school business administrator and board secretary vacancy created by the retirement of the previous administrator.

\"It is my recommendation to the board that Ms. Jamie Williams fills the position of the school business administrator and board secretary,\" Dr. Zuckerman said, noting Williams has served in multiple roles in the business office and currently serves as business administrator assistant. He said he was confident her background would help guide the district.

Separately, Business Administrator Mr. Katz told the board the State approved the district’s tentative 2025–26 budget. Katz said the district would advertise a public budget hearing for the May 5 meeting in the main cafeteria at 7:30 p.m. He also outlined near-term business-office actions included on the consent agenda: the replacement of a middle-school cafeteria rooftop HVAC unit (listed at $425,000), replacement of the exterior marquee and a three-year renewal in the district’s joint insurance pool.

Katz also said the district has scheduled a reverse online auction to procure electric supply and will report the auction results to the board at the next meeting. He noted the district would not be obligated to accept auction bids if rates were unfavorable.

Dr. Zuckerman described several other administrative items in his report: April observances for military children, the inaugural Northern Burlington Hall of Fame inductees and a recent countywide reunification training intended to coordinate multi-district student reunification procedures in an emergency. He also reminded board members about upcoming evaluations, graduation logistics and required financial-disclosure filings.

The superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Jamie Williams was presented to the board; the transcript does not record a separate, named vote on that appointment distinct from the consent agenda. The consent agenda vote later in the meeting passed and included personnel items listed on the agenda.","Superintendent Dr. Zuckerman recommended Jamie Williams to fill the district business administrator and board secretary position following Mr. Katz's retirement; the business administrator reported the state has approved the district's tentative 2025–26 budget and the board scheduled a public hearing May 5.","actionData","errors"]
