Summary
In a unanimous vote, the Deptford Township Board of Education approved a one-year agreement with Cooper Health System for sports medicine coverage ($200 per home football game), purchased Genesis Educational Services budget and payroll systems with one-time costs, and authorized Project Graduation vendors and several per-diem transportation contracts.
The Deptford Township Board of Education on Feb. 10 approved a series of finance items including a one-year agreement with The Cooper Health System for sports medicine coverage at home football games, a software purchase for budgetary and payroll systems, and Project Graduation vendor agreements.
The board approved the Cooper Health System agreement, effective July 1, 2025, under which Cooper will provide at least one sports-medicine physician on-site at each home football game at a rate of $200 per game and offer a 24-hour hotline for students to schedule evaluations. The motion was moved by Mark Getsinger, board member and finance committee chair, and seconded by James McDevitt; the finance package carried on a 9-0 vote.
Financial systems purchase: the board approved Genesis Educational Services for the district's budgetary accounting system (one-time initial year cost $37,500; annual maintenance $7,500 thereafter) and a SchoolFi payroll system (one-time $22,500; annual maintenance $4,500). The minutes list those one-time and maintenance costs.
Project Graduation and transportation: the board approved a $2,200 agreement with Acclaim Productions LLC for hypnosis and magician services and an event reservation with Launch for $4,692.38 (to be paid from the high school Student Activities account). The board also approved three per-diem special-education transportation arrangements for individual students (daily rates ranging from $320.00 to $349.00) through Gloucester County Special Services School District routing with named carriers; and accepted a donation of end-of-year t-shirts from Axe Audio.
The board recorded the finance motions as carried (roll-call 9-0). The minutes indicate payments and one-time costs but do not show long-term budgetary impacts beyond the listed maintenance fees.
