Mr. Uglieluro told the board the change is required by statute and that the district previously had a local policy exception allowing some senior students who moved out of town late in the school year (the transcript references moves occurring in February or April of senior year) to be exempt from tuition charges for the remaining months. Under the statutory change the district must charge tuition, but administrators noted that the district may set the tuition amount as low as $1 in particular cases to preserve the district's prior local practice while meeting the statutory requirement.

The revision to Policy 5111 was presented to the board as a mandated update; the transcript does not record a final adoption vote during the Aug. 14 meeting. No specific tuition rates or a district rulebook on calculation were provided in the meeting record.

The board was not recorded as taking further action on implementation details at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New Providence Board of Education Special Meeting - 8/14/25","oneSentenceSummary","The New Providence Board of Education on Aug. 14 was presented with a mandated revision to Policy 5111 to conform with a statutory change identified as \"18A\" that requires districts to charge tuition for nonresident students.","taxTitle","New Providence School District, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",72624,"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},6495049,"New Providence superintendent presents tighter rules on student and staff personal devices for first reading",446,114000,560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588457-a088aae124a082e0d11866bd8ecd484a&start=114&end=560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588457-a088aae124a082e0d11866bd8ecd484a/thumbnail_114000.jpg","/articles/6495049/New-Jersey/New-Providence-superintendent-presents-tighter-rules-on-student-and-staff-personal-devices-for-first-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495049-56358510282d7319ea84298ed5f70d56/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175505&Signature=ReAOANE22YThJ07AD0txhrE8RzJXteubJqQ6bYYB3BEPxg6H4O~PdRza3pwHYU8iTHJoqVTDR0oPyYuO5nuGZ9GDw36RJrMgACvd-~~UPyWuLzGsvU0~p6huXsNU8quLyTqje~H1cwRSKszd5fp2Rkk~go28I2w4iayePWtl0yzgFOu2OIymI45lcCCwWjCnaAUW0TL8Fw2126ZRRjLCFAOFY-Hv2xaLrV~g9jCR-Y6klfWf3LyN8SH0egfD9Meng04sgOLaevRfZZ7dTkZC92Q4CopffSr-EFkzc-4sfY1dZ7IDYZZ1AMMkir2tBlVR~OEEWh96SgatYyZMhHBaow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Providence Board of Education on Aug. 14 heard a first reading of revisions to the district's electronic-device rules that would require high school students to secure personal devices in lockers during the school day and update staff expectations for personal device use.

Superintendent Dr. Zirpoli told the board the administration revised policy 5516 (Use of Electronic Communication Devices) and added a companion regulation after a summer-long review of research about screen time and social media's effects on adolescents. \"We believe in order to be proactive in responding to the growing body of research showing the impact of excessive screen time ... we must take these intentional steps to limit the use of personal technology,\" Dr. Zirpoli said.

The revision would require students in grades 9 through 12 to place all personal electronic communication devices'which the policy defines to include cell phones, smart watches and Bluetooth earbuds'in their lockers at the start of the school day and keep them there until dismissal. Juniors and seniors with open lunch privileges would be allowed to access devices while off campus during lunch but must return items to their lockers upon reentry. For grades 7 and 8, the policy's existing requirement remains in force: devices must be turned off and secured in lockers for the school day. Elementary students must keep devices turned off and stored in backpacks or lockers until dismissal.

Dr. Zirpoli said medical exceptions will be handled through an individualized health plan (IHP) supported by a physician's note. He also said building principals will communicate building-level procedures, including locker access and enforcement guidelines, within the next one to two weeks and that staff will provide supports to aid the student transition.

District counsel/administrator Mr. Uglieluro told the board there is a related revision to the staff'use policy (previously titled \"personal cellular telephones\") that expands the definition of electronic communication devices and clarifies expectations for staff while performing professional responsibilities.

The district presented both revisions and the new regulation as a first reading so the board and community can consider implementation details. The transcript does not record a final vote adopting these policies at the Aug. 14 meeting.

Board members did not record a substantive amendment in the meeting transcript and no timeline for final adoption beyond the scheduled communications was provided.","The New Providence Board of Education on Aug. 14 heard a first reading of revisions to the district's electronic-device rules that would require high school students to secure personal devices in lockers during the school day and update staff expectations for personal device use.",{"_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},6495041,"District staff says HVAC startup on track but tight timeline ahead of school opening",167,657000,824730,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588457-a088aae124a082e0d11866bd8ecd484a&start=657&end=824","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588457-a088aae124a082e0d11866bd8ecd484a/thumbnail_657000.jpg","/articles/6495041/New-Jersey/District-staff-says-HVAC-startup-on-track-but-tight-timeline-ahead-of-school-opening","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495041-bf178bcd83741f0e4a4de1c538ae9f72/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175505&Signature=SVRzH4EXu9slmuWMb87HwEbJ-WRk0gDB9KDRzg2d22YYKcoUThQ0gPfYXhwbV56i9h2Rl0gptsSASX1G2pLYOpCQDixcqpMTgfcqM0x-xCUeZIdj8O6CdB-olCS2Taip0LeZMs5Szftgw4V43leXcsgnvwpyD7cwR5a2HlltURqET9VWngjBTrRjyR4kUttuRIPqkaT7~4-2dW4LgrtyWnTmjSj6cCamyUJ8ShDH9LCwtxpF9n3xEuFNhQHq7m~F2iOuIWgUx7~nfApZP2UXZniVtaGLG7u~aF9kBaiqm9Gyy5vxomYRWW2I2Uq9SDaFl3EC9VXZis6vFxEKiorQZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public comment portion of the Aug. 14 special meeting, Catherine Viber, who identified herself as co-president of the New Providence PTSA, asked the board for an update on HVAC systems across district schools.

A district representative (unnamed in the transcript) said contractor Roberts has completed the startup in one building and staff are finishing controls connections so systems will be ready for the opening of school. At Salt Brook School the representative said electrical-upgrade prework was finishing and that the upgrade was scheduled to be complete on Tuesday; startup would begin once electrical work finished and officials hoped to have air flowing by the end of next week.

For the high school and middle school, the district said electrical upgrades were complete and rooftop units were in place; crews were working to connect refrigerant, electrical and control lines with an anticipated completion by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. The representative said two units currently staged by the dumpsters were intended for the auditorium and were scheduled to be craned to the roof the following Tuesday; roof curbs and ductwork were in place.

The district acknowledged the schedule was tight. Officials said the systems may not be at 100% by the first day of school but that they expected airflow in classrooms and that remaining punch-list items would be completed during the school year.

There was no board vote or formal action recorded on the HVAC work in the meeting transcript.","During public comment, the board received an update that HVAC contractors finished much of the startup and electrical upgrades are scheduled or complete at school buildings; district staff said they expect some air to be flowing by the start of school but final punch-list work will continue during the school year.","actionData","errors"]
