Board adds student‑screening contract, approves routine consent and personnel items

The Manchester Township Board of Education moved through its consent agenda, added a post‑printing contract, recorded personnel actions and recognized a retiring staff member.

During the contracts and waivers portion of the agenda, district staff read into the record a resolution to approve a contract with Family First Urgent Care to provide student physicals and screening services for students suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol for the 2025–26 school year. The presenter said the contract had been left off the printed agenda and was being added for board consideration.

The board took roll calls on several grouped agenda items (new business items 1–5; administrative items 1–42). Several trustees voted yes on motions and a few trustees registered abstentions when noted on the record. Specific votes were recorded during roll call for named trustees as they were called; the roll‑call sequence included recorded “yes” responses and some abstentions but no on‑the‑record defeat of the consent items.

Personnel items were also considered. Personnel number 1342 was moved; trustees noted an off‑agenda correction to personnel number 14, changing an unpaid‑leave end date to Sept. 16, 2025 (previously listed as to be determined or Sept. 4). Student personnel items 1 and 2 and special‑services items 1 and 2 were moved and carried following roll‑call votes with at least one abstention noted on the record for a special‑services item.

The board publicly recognized Mr. Harrigan for 29½ years of service and announced his retirement. A resident offered a brief public comment thanking the board; the meeting was then adjourned with a motion and unanimous audible consent.

Next steps: contracts and personnel items approved during the meeting will be executed or implemented according to district procedures; staff will post any updated documentation to the board records as required.
