Stillwater Board accepts clean audit, approves personnel moves and contracts
Summary
The Stillwater Township Board of Education accepted the 2024–25 audit with no findings, approved routine personnel items including a resignation, authorized travel, approved a therapy services contract and ratified checks and purchase orders totaling $889,694.59.
The Stillwater Township Board of Education accepted a clean annual audit for the year ended June 30, 2025 and approved a set of routine personnel, contract and finance actions at its Nov. 17 regular meeting.
Board members voted to accept the 2024–25 audit after a presentation by Anthony Ardito of Ardito & Company; the minutes record that there were no audit findings or recommendations and that Ardito said the district is "in good financial shape." The audit presentation is attached to the minutes.
Why it matters: Acceptance of the audit signals the board’s formal review of the district’s fiscal year and allows the business office to proceed with routine financial administration. The board also authorized several operational items during the same meeting.
Votes at a glance: Minutes from Nov. 3, 2025 were approved by voice vote (one abstention by Mrs. Valeich; two members absent). The board approved professional days, accepted the resignation of paraprofessional Anne Lousie Waitzman effective Nov. 12, 2025, and authorized Business Administrator René Metzgar to attend NJASA Techspo Jan. 28–30, 2026 (registration and estimated travel costs recorded in the resolution). The board approved a contract with Creative Speech Solutions, LLC to provide speech and occupational therapy for student #27504027 at $97 per session (total $291 per month) through June 30, 2026. The board also approved checks and warrants for Oct. 15–Nov. 17, 2025 totaling $889,694.59 and a list of purchase orders over $1,000.
Board procedure and next steps: Several motions were recorded as voice votes or roll calls per the minutes; the audit acceptance carries no recommended corrective actions. The board did not take final action on facilities financing at this meeting; procurement work on the 1988 wing continues separately and was the subject of public comment.
The meeting adjourned at 7:41 p.m.
