Board approves routine motions, shared services and personnel actions; settlement vote fails
Summary
The Barnegat Township Board of Education approved multiple committee recommendations and contracts including a shared services technology agreement with Burlington County, upheld a HIPP finding, and approved salary and withholding actions. A proposed settlement for an employee failed to carry.
At its May 27 meeting the Barnegat Township Board of Education approved a series of routine committee recommendations, personnel actions and contracts and took one notable vote that failed to carry.
By roll call the board approved grouped finance motions (items 1 23), athletics motions (1 41), buildings/grounds motions, education motions (1 9), governance motions (1 5), the health and safety motion, and personnel motions (1 32). Administrators reported the finance committee had advanced routine financial operations, renewals and a short-term financing application to mitigate delayed state aid.
The board approved a shared service agreement with the Burlington County School District to provide technology services to Barnegat for the 2026 27 fiscal year under Burlington County's fee structure. That motion passed by roll call.
The board also voted to uphold the HIPP finding for incident number 303672 (BHS 020526) and approved the HIB incident report as presented.
One personnel settlement did not pass: a motion to approve a settlement agreement for employee number 6366 failed to carry after roll call (recorded votes included one abstention and at least two 'no' votes). The transcript shows Miss Churnney abstaining and Miss Continanza and Miss Washburn voting no; other members voted yes, leaving the motion without the necessary support.
Other personnel actions approved included increment withholding for employee number 5632 for the 2026 27 school year and approval of an employment salary for employee number 6788 at $100,677 with a $3,000 merit bonus tied to contract performance measures.

The board concluded its business and adjourned. Where individual roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript they are noted above; many grouped consent motions were approved unanimously in the meeting record.
