Board approves appointments, memoranda of understanding, transportation contracts and donations
Summary
The High Point Regional High School Board approved a slate of routine business at its Sept. 24 meeting: student representative appointment, MOUs with the New Jersey State Police and Sussex County Sheriff, multiple transportation contracts and several donations (including $6,000 from T‑Mobile).
At its Sept. 24 meeting, the High Point Regional High School Board of Education approved a package of routine business items, including one appointment, memoranda of understanding with law‑enforcement partners, transportation contracts, tuition agreements and multiple donations.
The board approved the appointment of Kyle Lubanski as the student representative to the board, as described by the superintendent. The duties stated in the agenda include attending all board meetings (with exclusion from confidential discussions), representing students within the district, and providing a monthly report to the student council.
The board voted to approve memoranda of understanding for the 2024–25 school year with the New Jersey State Police and with the Sussex County Sheriff’s Office; the items were moved together and approved by roll call.
Finance and operational approvals included acceptance of the business administrator/board secretary reports and the treasurer report for July and August 2024, transfers and an audited bills schedule for payment (09/24/2024). The board also authorized an ancillary‑services agreement with the Sussex County Ed Services Commission and approved listed tuition contracts for the 2024–25 school year.
Transportation items 1–13 (vendor renewals, joint transportation agreements, parental contracts and mileage addenda covering routes and special placements) were moved and approved by roll call.
Donations accepted and recognized by the board included a $500 psychology outreach grant applied for by teacher Stacy Zremba; three used bowling balls valued at approximately $150 for the bowling team; $6,000 awarded through T‑Mobile’s Friday Night Lights competition (to be used as district credit); and $2,975 from Patrick Freeland to pay for a new 25‑foot flagpole and installation. Each gift was moved and approved by roll call.
Voting notes: multiple roll‑call votes are recorded in the transcript approving the grouped agenda items; one board member noted an abstention on item 10 of the curriculum package (the transcript indicates Miss Diaz abstained on item 10). The transcript does not record any failed measures or motions tabled for later action.
Next steps: these approvals were procedural and routine; no additional public testimony was recorded on the contractual items beyond the donations and band staffing public comments already noted.
