At its regular meeting the Evesham Township School District Board of Education said it will pursue an independent review of the district's ELA program and that a vote to select an outside auditor will take place after newly elected board members are sworn in.

"We have narrowed it down to a few" candidates for an outside auditor, an unidentified board member said, and the board intends to have "someone look over the program" before taking a formal vote. The board member said the decision was postponed until after incoming members are sworn to avoid delaying the process further.

Superintendent Dr. Smith updated the board on operational matters, reminding the public about the district's first possible snow makeup date and referencing the district's ongoing action plan following 2024 NJSLA results pending review of 2025 assessments. Dr. Smith also noted a pending district lease item described on the record as "26.7," but the meeting transcript did not specify the unit or amount; the record indicates space constraints could affect student placement, and no final lease decision was made during the meeting.

The board voted to approve the consent agenda; roll call recorded that Miss Fox abstained from items 6.1 and 6.2, and the motion carried. Earlier in the meeting the board adopted a resolution to enter executive session under N.J.S.A. 10:4-12; that motion carried on a roll-call vote.

Board members used the meeting to publicly thank outgoing members, including Mister Thompson, Miss Fox and Mister Bach, for their service through difficult budget years. The meeting adjourned following the acknowledgements.

No formal contract awards, budget adoptions, or ordinance adoptions were finalized at the meeting. Several items mentioned on the record (the lease described as "26.7," and the selection of an ELA auditor) were left for future action with details "not specified" in the transcript.
