Lou (finance report presenter) told the board the low responsive bid accepted for the School No. 6 multipurpose room project was approximately $1,392,000 and described the scope as a complete renovation, structural work and upgrades to make the space ADA compliant, including installation of a chairlift. Lou also said the district had budgeted about $2,000,000 for the project and that the district’s internal cost estimate had been about $1,700,000.

Lou said the originally lowest bidder withdrew their bid after underestimating the work; the Blackstone bid was accepted after Land Associates checked referrals. Lou told the board the district expects to upload grant paperwork the next day for an approximately $8,000 safety and security grant from the New Jersey Schools Insurance Group and said the grant will be used on 2025‑26 projects pending approval.

Board members asked for an electronic copy of the full bid package, specifications and drawings and requested regular updates. Administration agreed to distribute the bid package and provide on‑site or virtual construction meetings approximately every two weeks with meeting minutes shared to the board.

The multipurpose room item, safety grant and related facilities approvals were part of the consent agenda the board approved by roll call later in the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cliffside Park Board of Education Meeting April 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board discussed a bid award for the School No. 6 multipurpose room renovation (bid awarded to Blackstone for about $1,392,000), grant funding from New Jersey Schools Insurance Group, and asked administration for project documentation and regular progress updates; the related items were included in the consent agenda the board approved.","taxTitle","Cliffside Park School District, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",60900,"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},6270650,"Cliffside Park board honors teacher who saved student; superintendent reports personnel actions and HIB findings",364,612000,976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3032597-8d1ee71636efee4eaf816a4695eef6c8&start=612&end=976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3032597-8d1ee71636efee4eaf816a4695eef6c8/thumbnail_612000.jpg","/articles/6270650/New-Jersey/Cliffside-Park-board-honors-teacher-who-saved-student-superintendent-reports-personnel-actions-and-HIB-findings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6270650-ba216d9aef0a05169ac74a0455d99daf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150038&Signature=hLFzm-RBCO3mOdTshTEAgbHTkCIB0we59teNtf2QQeAWpyvOzrP8AsUFMFNZDKDcz4w5l54B4MynJ75rhB51BJOJ6XGT3adhq6HvphEXzbXP7Wjy~jDU-zqK~H0uEGUkAEhnR-4ADxz~ccavvm27MD9ddYhsYCvQ-D4o0gdsEDx4SvlG-8-I9caojAfRVyD-iAgG-yBXQ6gtWTZAikVDOV01szLB77-saEfob1EhDIul4H5zMWlomfB3Clqra7Rc5BdkOst7lq1wOWzUtC2lqi0Mdq0k8RxxihzRPTmHvUVd5AHLtungKiM9NQw3bhBi3BQQidHSslQRf40HXUIIvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cliffside Park Board of Education on April 16 recognized James Leary, an English teacher and coach at Cliffside Park High School, for intervening to save a student in October and presented him with an award.

The superintendent reported 18 personnel resolutions on the April 16 consent agenda and said the district opened three harassment, intimidation or bullying (HIB) investigations during the period: two were alleged and one was confirmed. The superintendent said parental contact was made in all three investigations, counseling was provided, and disciplinary action was taken in the confirmed case.

\"He's a fantastic English teacher. He's a fantastic football coach. He's a fantastic basketball coach,\" a speaker identified in the transcript said while introducing the award, praising Leary's quick actions. Leary responded, \"Thank you,\" when the board presented the recognition.

Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Calabrese told the board the district provided its first full day of professional development on March 31, with workshops focused on Renaissance Star reporting and breakout sessions aimed at NJSLA (state assessment) work across ELA, math and science. \"We look forward to more of those days next year because they were definitely worth it,\" Calabrese said.

Board members did not debate policy changes in the superintendent's report; the items described were informational and part of the consent agenda the board later approved by roll call.

The meeting record shows the board adjourned following the consent vote and brief closing remarks.","At its April 16, 2025 regular meeting the Cliffside Park Board of Education presented an award to James Leary for intervening in a student medical emergency, and the superintendent reported 18 personnel resolutions and three HIB investigations (two alleged, one confirmed).","actionData","errors"]
