Hillsborough board approves personnel, curriculum and operations motions, including modest cafeteria price increase
Summary
The board voted to approve education and HR motions covering curriculum, summer programs and staff appointments and adopted operations items including insurance renewals, contract renewals and a proposed 25¢ increase to breakfast and lunch prices for three years plus a one‑time 50¢ a la carte increase.
At its May 11 meeting the Hillsborough Township Board of Education approved a slate of education, human resources and operations motions covering curriculum proposals, staffing appointments, contract renewals and several operational items.
On education items the board approved professional and travel expenses, Title I summer camp staffing, multilingual learners programming, administration of English‑language testing for ESL and curriculum and discipline items including a long‑term suspension matter. The motion was moved and passed by roll call.
The board then approved a comprehensive human resources slate — retirements, resignations, 2026‑27 appointments, leaves of absence, reappointments of central administrators (including the business administrator/board secretary and assistant superintendents), and renewals of certificated and non‑certificated staff and program staffing for summer and extended‑year services.
Operations approvals included monthly bills and financials, renewal proposals for health and dental benefits (Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield) and vision (VSP), disposal of obsolete equipment, acceptance of donations, a Sodexo food services management contract renewal for 2026‑27, and awards for emergency contracts and a ceiling and lighting replacement at Woods Road Elementary. Superintendent Volpe read a proposal to increase cafeteria pricing by 25¢ for breakfast and lunch for the next three school years and a one‑time 50¢ increase for a la carte items; the board moved and approved the operations motions by roll call.
