Seaford Board approves school-choice applications, salary schedules, tax distribution and routine facility actions
Summary
The Seaford Board of Education on Sept. 15 approved a slate of routine measures — including decisions on school-choice applications, second readings of communicable-disease and Title IX policies, three field trips, a facilities rental and revisions to FY26 salary schedules and tax distribution — during a meeting that began at 6 p.m.
The Seaford Board of Education on Sept. 15 approved a series of routine agenda items and formal motions, including school-choice application decisions, second readings of two policies, three approved field trips, a facilities rental for a community event, a district-office change order and the FY2026 paraeducator and custodial salary schedules.
Board President Jeff Vincent called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. and opened the action portion of the agenda. School-choice applications numbered 202655 through 202662 were approved as presented and applications 202663 through 202667 were denied, the board recorded. The board approved second readings of JLCC (communicable infectious disease) and the district Title IX policy following staff presentation.
Also approved were three field trips: a Sept. 27 visit to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis for NJROTC students, a March 20 trip to a Camden, New Jersey battleship for NJROTC students, and a March 26, 2026 social-studies visit to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The board approved a facilities rental request from Our Lady of Lords for a Hispanic Community Fair (rental date listed as Sept. 13 in the packet) and a district-office change order (SCADash25001DAOEXRN Change Order 001) to address unforeseen basement waterproofing and rotten rim boards.
Financial actions included formal approval of the FY26 paraeducator salary schedule and the FY26 custodial salary schedule, the board’s acceptance of an adjusted school tax distribution to correct state rounding and distribution reporting, and approval of the monthly financial reports. In each case the meeting record shows a motion, a second and a voice vote of "aye" with the chair stating that the motion carries.
Several items were presented as reviews only (policy-review items GBI and DBJ) and were returned to the policy committee for further consideration; the board did not change those policies at this meeting.
Votes recorded on the audio log were taken by voice; the meeting transcript does not include a roll-call tally for the items above. Where staff provided technical or procedural detail, the board accepted the explanations and approved the staff-recommended motions.
Ending notes: The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. and recessed into executive session at about 6:37 p.m.
