Summary
At its June meeting the Voorhees Township School District board unanimously approved routine minutes, curriculum, personnel, finance, transportation and buildings-and-grounds items, and voted to extend Superintendent Neely Hackett’s contract by two years after county approval.
The Voorhees Township School District board unanimously approved several consent and business items at its June meeting, including routine minutes, committee-recommended curriculum and personnel actions, finance items and capital-related approvals. The board also approved a two-year extension of Superintendent Neely Hackett’s contract, converting a three-year contract to a five-year term.
Key outcomes
• Superintendent contract extension — The board voted to approve a two-year extension for Dr. Neely Hackett, extending the superintendent’s contract through the 2026–27 school year. The board agenda stated the extension had been approved by the Executive County Superintendent for Camden County; the motion carried unanimously.
• Consent and committee items — The board voted unanimously to approve the following grouped items as presented by committee chairs: minutes of the May 7, 2025 regular meeting and May 20, 2025 special meeting; all curriculum items; all personnel items; all finance items (including construction and project-related items described in committee reports); transportation items; and buildings-and-grounds items.
Voting format and quorum
Board members used online voting during the meeting. When members were polled the meeting recorded unanimous approval for the motions presented. Roll call at the start of the meeting recorded the following members as present: Bryce; Catover; Munyon; Rosen; Rosner; Rudder; Stewart; Verdi; and Watson.
Why it matters: The contract extension secures the superintendent’s leadership for two additional years, while the grouped approvals move district operations, staffing and capital projects — including work tied to the new Early Childhood Development Center — forward for the summer and upcoming school year.
What comes next: The board’s committees will continue oversight work over the summer. The next public meeting is scheduled for Aug. 25, 2025.
