North Haledon notes school budgets and puts SRO interlocal agreements on consent agenda
Summary
The Manchester regional and North Haledon Board of Education budgets were reported, and interlocal agreements to provide School Resource Officers (SROs) were placed on the work session consent agenda for the upcoming council meeting.
At the May 21 work session the Borough of North Haledon reviewed Board of Education action and related public-safety arrangements. The Manchester Regional Board approved its 2025–26 budget (the minutes list a borough tax levy of $2,087,133), and the North Haledon Board of Education adopted its 2025–26 budget with a general and debt service tax levy listed as $13,153,990.
The minutes also show interlocal agreements for School Resource Officers (SROs) on the consent agenda: an interlocal agreement with the North Haledon School District and a separate interlocal agreement with Mary Help of Christians Academy (consent-agenda items 16 and 17). The borough’s capital and operating reviews noted the continued presence and funding for SROs in the borough’s four schools.
Why it matters: SRO agreements define operational and funding relationships between the borough and school entities and affect school safety staffing and municipal budgets. The work session placed the interlocal agreements on the upcoming meeting agenda rather than recording final council action.
Next steps: the interlocal agreements appeared on the council meeting consent agenda for formal consideration; the minutes do not record final approval at the May 21 work session.
