Board approves Carbon Health contract, ESS pay addendum and routine financial reports
Summary
The board approved multiple financial items Dec. 16, 2024, including check runs and payrolls, a contract with Carbon Health for health testing (fee schedule attached to agenda), and an ESS addendum to comply with the new NJ minimum wage of $15.49 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2025.
At its Dec. 16, 2024 meeting, the Tabernacle Township Board of Education approved routine financial reports and multiple contract items, including a contract with Carbon Health to provide health testing per a fee schedule attached to the meeting materials and an addendum with ESS to comply with New Jersey’s minimum wage increase to $15.49 per hour effective Jan. 1, 2025.
The board certified budget standing under N.J.A.C. citations (monthly reports as of Oct. 31, 2024) and approved several check runs and payrolls recorded in the agenda: check runs of $56,908.74 (11/21/2024), $75,252.03 (12/11/2024, Batch 50), and $280,476.14 (12/11/2024, Batch 51); payrolls of $383,607.15 (11/30/2024) and $447,266.24 (12/15/2024); and a cafeteria check run of $30,343.96 (12/09/2024). The agenda also listed Board Secretary’s and Treasurer’s reports for October 2024 and line-item transfer adjustments.
The Carbon Health contract was presented as Item 12 under Financial (agenda); the transcript records board approval but does not include fee amounts or contract term details in the public minutes. The ESS addendum was approved to implement the NJ minimum wage increase effective Jan. 1, 2025. The board also approved an Indemnity and Trust Agreement with the School Health Insurance Fund (related to Resolution 25-011 adopted later in the meeting).
Motions on the financial and facilities items were made and recorded in the meeting grid. Where dollar amounts or fee schedules were not read aloud, the record notes those documents were attached to the agenda materials available to board members.
What this means: Routine financial approvals clear payments and payrolls for the district and authorize contract terms noted in the agenda; the Carbon Health contract and ESS addendum will affect operational arrangements for health testing and contracted service pay rates going forward.
The board moved these items during the regular meeting; no dissenting votes on the financial contract items were recorded in the minutes.
