Summary
At its Sept. 2 meeting the board approved multiple consent motions (PMC, CIS, FFA series) and heard administrative reports including acceptance of $805,849 in extraordinary aid, door and sprinkler work and progress on a new board office.
Pequannock Township School District Board of Education on Sept. 2 approved several consent-package actions and heard administrative updates that included notification of $805,849 in extraordinary aid and routine facility maintenance.
Approvals and votes
Board members approved the following consent motions by roll call: PMC 42-26 through PMC 48-26; CIS 15-26; and FFA 30-26 through FFA 35-26. Each motion carried on a roll-call vote. A member noted one item (PM 45-26) received a vote "yes, but with regret," during the PMC roll call.
Administrative reports and facilities
- Extraordinary aid: A district staff member reported that the board agenda included acceptance of $805,849 in extraordinary aid for the 2025'26 school year to support special education needs.
- Facilities work: Staff reported that PSE&G replaced a gas meter at Pequannock Valley High School on Aug. 20 at no cost to the district; exterior media-center doors were replaced at Pequannock Valley Middle School (Aug. 20) and North Boulevard Elementary School (Aug. 21); and the five-year sprinkler inspection took place the week of Aug. 25 with all schools passing inspection. The New Jersey Department of Education approved a revised long-range facilities plan for a new board office at 494 Newark Pompton Turnpike; a percolation (perk) test for the site has been ordered.
- Grounds recommendation: Facilities staff recommended moving garbage dumpsters at one school playground to reduce student exposure and improve pickup access; the board directed staff to obtain quotes.
Why it matters: The extraordinary aid is intended to help fund special-education services; the facility work affects safety and operations ahead of the school year.
