Board approves routine motions including personnel, finance and buildings projects
Summary
At its March 24, 2025 meeting, the Jersey Shore Area School District board approved routine agenda items including minutes, treasurer's report, bills, personnel actions, buildings-and-grounds work and finance items; the board also discussed a switch of the tax lockbox to Journey Bank.
The Jersey Shore Area School District Board of School Directors voted on several routine and business items during its March 24, 2025 regular meeting, approving minutes, financial reports, personnel items and several board requests and projects.
The board approved minutes for its Feb. 10 and Feb. 24 meetings; accepted the treasurer's report; approved the general fund and capital bills; and approved personnel items A through M by voice vote. Board members also approved buildings-and-grounds item A and finance items A through F, and miscellaneous items A through D. Several motions passed by voice vote with the chair calling for “all those in favor say aye” and then noting the motion passes when no opposition was voiced.
Treasurer-related discussion noted the district placed certificates of deposit, including a $500,000 one-year CD at 4.18% and additional short-term CDs earlier in March. The bills listing included a $97,404.50 invoice for Sugar Valley and the $500,000 CD was shown in the general fund payments; the capital reserve payment referenced the Avis project, amendment 2, with roughly $6,100 remaining.
Under finance, the board approved switching the district's real-estate tax lockbox to Journey Bank; district staff said tax payments will have a new PO box and that residents will be able to pay taxes in person at Journey Bank branches in the region. Officials said they will notify taxpayers on upcoming bills and by additional communications closer to tax season.
Votes were taken by voice; the record in the meeting transcript does not show a roll-call tally or named mover/second for these routine motions.
The board conducted these approvals amid extended discussion of building- and program-level budgets presented by administrators from multiple district buildings and programs earlier in the meeting.
