The presentations underscored enrichment opportunities for students. \"This summer, our students have been fully engaged in joyful, enriching learning experiences,\" Dr. Fair, staff member, told the board, describing hands-on projects, collaborative activities and field trips, including a visit to Pony Power in Mahwah where students connected with horses.

Board members saw slides showing student participation in community projects and athletics. Dr. Fair said students who worked with Habitat for Humanity signed a beam that will go into a local build, noting the district’s logo will appear on one beam. The music program also featured a high-school ensemble touring Europe under an American Music Abroad program; Dr. Fair identified Miss Margaret Foles as the staff member leading that trip.

Academic results were a highlight: Dr. Fair reported that \"over 93 percent of Mahwah students earned a score of 3 or higher,\" the benchmark commonly used to indicate AP college-readiness, and that 35 students earned recognition as AP scholars for earning scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP exams.

The presentation also described internships and externships: Avril, a student in the engineering and technology pathway, worked at Danmore Architects; Lina, from the performing arts pathway, served as a teaching intern in a summer music program; and Alex Huang, a rising senior and business-administration extern in central office, assisted with payroll, bank reconciliations, leave-of-absence research and interview processes. \"Alex generated questions. He asked questions. He participated in, asking follow-up questions, and, we did a lot of reflecting afterwards,\" Dr. Fair said.

The board’s instruction and curriculum committee used the meeting to officially welcome Miss Jody Craft as the district’s new director of curriculum and instruction.

Board members praised the programs and said the internships provide meaningful real-world experience; no formal action or votes were required for the presentations. The reports will inform fall planning and committee work as the district finalizes goals for the coming school year.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Mahwah Board of Education Meeting July 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the July 23 meeting the Mahwah Board of Education heard presentations on summer enrichment activities, AP exam outcomes (more than 93% scored 3 or higher and 35 students named AP scholars), student internships and a Habitat for Humanity project signing.","taxTitle","Mahwah Township Public School District, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",39999,"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},6156595,"Mahwah board authorizes referendum materials, tentatively accepts state grants and OKs electricity-rate auction",805,403000,1208000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5468970-576a5697e7b0a6e14dc0bbbf573cfcac&start=403&end=1208","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5468970-576a5697e7b0a6e14dc0bbbf573cfcac/thumbnail_403000.jpg","/articles/6156595/New-Jersey/Mahwah-board-authorizes-referendum-materials-tentatively-accepts-state-grants-and-OKs-electricity-rate-auction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6156595-02bbc5fdfa0249db96a402726895a195/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149006&Signature=n-b7~ecm3-VuwECiF4IYmO0OYYO6WjTbSW17mY-IBxpFXZH4qM3-PGoeZ4vor2yVgK0j5aNH31hv24IliiAdr~yP0FI~iAKIfd7hc7PQ~jpmdBi7xqwAcbH3iqYr0TEMN714-Du0WnZS35Dl3T~IVBqceaLYhOVy52L2zIMz8RrgqMxfQsJiOxdvB8105EnlEjHwj-ATT9hmpJ4K6ArzvqR32ylcL-E7Mwt0HbiYEB1IDiivlR4Sz4XqZDvxebvDKj7dWGIdfiFoWfLH1V5bLV9Tx585wykRA3vbkVLUgrSd1gFxGjZ044uha0u7s~QXAriWSW2W61ffB5zO0ftG3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mahwah Board of Education on July 23 authorized staff to begin preparing materials for a facilities referendum to be submitted to the state in September, tentatively accepted state ROD grants and approved holding an auction for electricity utility rates.

The actions matter because they move the district closer to seeking voter approval for capital work and allow administrators to pursue potential grant funds and lower energy costs without obligating the district to final commitments now. \"It does not bind the district,\" Mr. William, staff member, said of the tentative ROD-grant acceptances. \"We can accept or reject the bids, depending on the outcome of the auction,\" he added about the planned electricity-rate auction.

Board members moved the package of new-business items listed as 18a through 18x as a single motion. Miss Jansen, board member, moved the motion and Mr. Hughes, board member, seconded; the motion carried on roll call with board members voting yes. The motion included the district’s tentative acceptance of the ROD grants and authorization to conduct an auction for electric supply rates. Mr. William described the ROD-grant acceptances as a tentative acceptance from the state that \"we're not turning down the money,\" and stressed the district is not bound to proceed.

Finance committee work has run parallel to the referendum preparations. \"The committee will be busy with the preparatory work for the referendum issues,\" Mr. Gallo, board member, said, noting that agenda item 18 initiates the process to prepare materials for the district’s project submission to the state in September. Mr. Gallo also reported that Greg Romero applied for and the district received a $70,000 tree-planting grant to plant trees throughout the district; he described the award as funding to \"beautify our canvas.\" The grant is separate from the referendum projects.

The electricity-rate auction was authorized as part of the consolidated motion. Mr. William said that if the auction is held and bids are returned, the district would retain discretion to accept or reject the bids. That means the auction is a procurement step but does not itself commit the district to a particular contract.

Other actions approved during the same meeting included routine personnel and minutes approvals. No public comment tied to these items was recorded at the meeting.

Next steps noted by the board are continued finance-committee work, completion of referendum materials for the September state submission, and, if authorized by staff after review, proceeding with energy procurement that may reduce utility costs for the district.","At its July 23 meeting the Mahwah Board of Education authorized staff to prepare referendum submission materials for the state in September, approved tentative acceptance of state ROD grants and authorized an auction for electricity supply, while also noting a separate $70,000 tree-planting grant award.","actionData","errors"]
