Pequannock board approves audit, moves forward on new board office and funds tennis‑court reconditioning
Summary
The Pequannock Township School District Board on Nov. 24 approved the 02/2025 audit with no findings, authorized a third appraisal for the current board office (at a $2,500 expected cost), approved capital spending to recondition tennis courts ($398,248 from capital reserves, slated for summer 2026–27), and moved forward on buying a new board office with a Dec. 4 Planning Board appearance expected.
At its Nov. 24 regular meeting, the Pequannock Township School District Board of Education approved routine business items and voted to advance several facility and capital matters.
Business administrator reported that the 02/2025 audit was presented with "no audit findings or recommendations." The board approved the audit on the consent agenda.
The board also authorized securing a third appraisal for the property currently housing the board office, citing a wide gap between the post office appraisal and the board office appraisal. The third appraisal was described as consistent with the original agreement with the post office and expected to cost $2,500 to the district.
On facilities, the board voted to approve reconditioning the district tennis courts in the 2026–27 school year at a cost of $398,248. The administrator said those funds will come from the district's capital reserve account. During discussion, board members asked whether the reconditioning would take place in the summer (the administrator confirmed it would) and reviewed color options for the court surface, including an interior option referred to as "stadium blue" and an alternative called "sand dune." A board member also asked whether a paw‑print graphic could be added to the court surface; members noted the work will be scheduled once contracts and approvals are complete.
The agenda also reported that the district is moving forward with purchase of a new board office and anticipated appearing before the Pequannock Township Planning Board on Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.; if approved, the administrator said the district anticipated a January closing on the new facility.
The consent agendas (PMC, CIS and FFA blocks) were moved and carried with routine roll‑call votes; one PMC item (PMC 102‑26) was withdrawn from the block by motion and the remaining PMC items (PMC 90‑26 through PMC 101‑26) were approved as presented. The meeting included two brief opportunities for public comment; no members of the public spoke.
The board announced its next meeting will be Dec. 15 at the high school and adjourned after a motion that carried on a voice/roll call.
