Board approves architect, auditor, solicitor and labor-counsel contracts
Summary
The board appointed firms for professional services for the 2025–26 year, including an architect of record, auditor, board solicitor and labor counsel; most votes were unanimous except the solicitor appointment, which passed 8–1.
The Voorhees Township Board of Education approved several professional-service appointments and contracts for 2025–26, awarding architect, auditing, solicitor and labor counsel engagements with stated rates and budgeted maximums.
The board approved appointing "Fraytek Vice Hopkins Doofy, P.C." (as read into the record) as architect of record for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, at variable hourly rates ($75 to $155) budgeted at $40,000. The board also approved appointing Todd Sailor of Bowman & Company LLP as auditor for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with fees based on time and a not-to-exceed total of $86,000 (general fund $65,500; CER $10,000; food services $10,000).
The board voted to appoint Gorman, Danella and Morlock as board solicitor for 07/01/2025–06/30/2026 at budgeted rates, and the motion passed on roll call 8–1; one board member voted no during the roll-call on that item. The board also approved a labor-counsel contract with Frank Cavallo of Parker McKay for the period 07/01/2025–06/30/2026 at $185 per hour budgeted at $15,000 and a physician-services contract with Dr. David Horner, D.O., for $20,900 for the year.
Why it matters: Professional-service contracts set the district’s legal, audit and design representation and set budgeted ceilings for outside legal and technical work.
Most appointments passed unanimously on voice/online vote after motions and seconds were recorded. The solicitor appointment required a roll-call tally and carried 8 yes, 1 no. Contract terms, hourly rates and budgeted maximums were read into the record as part of consent business.
Ending: The appointed firms will provide services for the 2025–26 school year under the approved rates and budgeted totals; the board recorded the contracts as part of its standard annual appointments.
