The Northern Burlington County Regional Board of Education approved routine administrative budget limits and accepted a staff resignation following executive session.
On agenda items 3.02 and 3.03 the board set the travel maximum and a public‑relations spending maximum for the 2026–27 school year; administrators noted the PR maximum is required policy even though the district does not currently plan to hire an outside public‑relations firm. Both motions passed on roll call.
After an executive session, the board voted to accept the resignation of James Dowd, applied technology teacher, effective April 20, 2026. The roll call showed two 'no' votes and one recusal by a board member; the motion carried. The chair announced the district will proceed with personnel transition steps consistent with board policy.
These items were presented as routine administrative housekeeping tied to the district’s tentative budget process; the board listed dates for additional committee meetings in April and the public budget hearing and final vote in May.
