The board unanimously approved Resolution 25-004 awarding banking services to Fulton Bank through June 30, 2026, adopted an executive-session resolution, approved updated K-8 ELA and Math curricula, personnel appointments and routine financial reports including several large check runs.
The Tabernacle Township School District Board of Education voted unanimously Aug. 19 to award banking services and appoint Fulton Bank as the official depository for the Lenape Regional School District consortium, effective Aug. 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026. Resolution 25-004 followed a request-for-proposals process conducted by the Lenape Regional Districts; the board recorded that Fulton Bank's proposal was determined by district business administrators to best meet consortium needs. Motion by Jonathan Grubb, second by Tracy Betts; vote recorded unanimous.
Earlier in the meeting the board adopted Resolution 25-003 authorizing an executive session under N.J.S.A. 10:4-12 to discuss safety tactics and pending or anticipated litigation/contract negotiations; the board entered closed session and returned to public session at 8:25 p.m. The meeting minutes cite the relevant statute and state that disclosure of some matters may be withheld until disclosure would not detrimentally affect district interests.
On routine business the board approved updated K-8 ELA and math curricula, the 2024-25 District Goals Action Plan, and the Tabernacle Township School District Mentoring Plan; it also approved extra-curricular staff assignments, leaves under FMLA, the resignation of Cara Williams (effective Aug. 1, 2024), and hires including Chloe Pilione and Gabrielle Wetzel. The board approved contracts and invoices including an ESY contract with Burlington County Special Services School District for $4,444.00 for one student and a 2024-25 agreement with Elevate Health and Therapeutic Services for consultative services (per attached fee schedule).
Financial approvals included certification of budget controls under N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-16.10(c)3 and N.J.A.C. 6:20-2.13(e) and acceptance of the Board Secretary's, Cash Flow, Bond Referendum Cash and Treasurer's reports for June 2024.
