Wayne Township board approves custodial contract extension, student settlement and $100,000 business-office consulting contract
Summary
The Wayne Township Board of Education approved a one-year extension to the custodial contract, authorized a student settlement and upheld an appeal decision, and approved a professional-services agreement with Summit Management Solutions LLC for up to $100,000; roll-call votes were recorded and motions carried.
At its public meeting, the Wayne Township Board of Education approved several actions including a one-year extension of the custodial bargaining agreement, authorization of a student settlement, affirmation of a superintendent’s determination on a HIB appeal, and a short-term professional-services agreement for business-office consulting.
The board approved and ratified a memorandum of agreement dated Jan. 22, 2025, extending the agreement with the Wayne Custodial Maintenance Association from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, and authorized the board president to execute the agreement. The board also approved a settlement agreement and release in a student matter (student ID referenced in the record) and instructed the business administrator and superintendent to take steps required to implement the settlement.
Separately, the board approved B3, a professional-services agreement with Summit Management Solutions LLC to provide business-office consulting services at a rate of $150 per hour not to exceed $100,000 for the period March 1–July 31, 2025. The board discussed that the current business administrator, Mr. Moffett, is retiring on April 1 and that a private vendor will provide interim business-administrator duties until a replacement is appointed.
The board took roll-call votes on these items; the presiding officer announced the motions carried. The transcript records affirmative roll-call responses from board members including Mr. Gardano, Mrs. Lamandre, Mr. Paul, Mr. Pacos, Mr. Alman, Mr. Bill, Mr. Faber, Mrs. Regoso (name appears in the record), and Mr. Pavlac. The board also authorized sending correspondence to the county improvement authority as referenced in executive session.
The superintendent introduced emergent items to be considered in executive session before the public votes; the board cited contractual and personnel matters as the reason for the closed session. The board indicated it would likely emerge and vote on at least one item following the executive session, which it did.
The actions taken are procedural and administrative: the custodial agreement extension and consulting contract set terms and spending caps; the settlement and HIB-appeal affirmation resolve specified student matters. No additional budget line-item details or contractor scopes beyond the hourly rate and not-to-exceed cap were provided in the public record.
