During the Dec. 16 Tabernacle Township Board of Education meeting, the superintendent’s report highlighted student and staff recognitions, praised recent concerts and performances, and announced a district-record CHOP Pajama Day fundraiser that raised $1,567.50.
The agenda thanked Mr. Lutz and Ms. Czekay for work on the music program; the OMS hand-chimes students performed at the meeting. The superintendent also announced that the preschool lottery form for the 2025–2026 school year will be sent in early January to families with eligible children and noted winter-break scheduling and other community events. The district debuted a new podcast, Beyond the Bell, credited to Mr. Pina and Mrs. Arzt.

Later in the public-comment portion, Stephanie Kenny of 205 Skylar Court asked about the district’s relationship with the township, raised a concern about a septic system, referenced the communication committee, and asked whether board members had attended the NJSBA conference.
