Superintendent recommends Jamie Williams as business administrator; tentative 2025–26 budget approved by state
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Zuckerman recommended Jamie Williams to fill the district business administrator and board secretary position following Mr. Katz's retirement; the business administrator reported the state has approved the district's tentative 2025–26 budget and the board scheduled a public hearing May 5.
Superintendent Dr. Zuckerman recommended at the April 14 meeting that Jamie Williams be appointed to fill the district’s school business administrator and board secretary vacancy created by the retirement of the previous administrator.
"It is my recommendation to the board that Ms. Jamie Williams fills the position of the school business administrator and board secretary," Dr. Zuckerman said, noting Williams has served in multiple roles in the business office and currently serves as business administrator assistant. He said he was confident her background would help guide the district.
Separately, Business Administrator Mr. Katz told the board the State approved the district’s tentative 2025–26 budget. Katz said the district would advertise a public budget hearing for the May 5 meeting in the main cafeteria at 7:30 p.m. He also outlined near-term business-office actions included on the consent agenda: the replacement of a middle-school cafeteria rooftop HVAC unit (listed at $425,000), replacement of the exterior marquee and a three-year renewal in the district’s joint insurance pool.
Katz also said the district has scheduled a reverse online auction to procure electric supply and will report the auction results to the board at the next meeting. He noted the district would not be obligated to accept auction bids if rates were unfavorable.
Dr. Zuckerman described several other administrative items in his report: April observances for military children, the inaugural Northern Burlington Hall of Fame inductees and a recent countywide reunification training intended to coordinate multi-district student reunification procedures in an emergency. He also reminded board members about upcoming evaluations, graduation logistics and required financial-disclosure filings.
The superintendent’s recommendation to appoint Jamie Williams was presented to the board; the transcript does not record a separate, named vote on that appointment distinct from the consent agenda. The consent agenda vote later in the meeting passed and included personnel items listed on the agenda.
