The Waterford Township Board of Education on March 20 tentatively approved the 2024–2025 school district budget and certified the district's December financial reports under state law.
Board Secretary Daniel J. Fox told trustees that the Board Secretary's cash reconciliation and financial reports for December 2023 were in agreement with statutory requirements (18A:17-9) and current N.J.A.C. rules. The board then voted to accept the December and January financial reports and to approve payment of the bills lists: Bill List #1 for $1,691,869.33 and Bill List #2 for $58,494.44, for a combined total of $1,750,363.77.
Trustees also approved several tuition contracts for the 2023–2024 year and multiple tuition agreements for the 2024–2025 school year with the Hammonton Board of Education. The transcript lists net costs for Hammonton contracts as $3,351,744; $6,736,243; and $628,928 for various grade ranges and special-education placements; the board approved those agreements as presented.
The board approved a contract with Archway Programs, Inc. to provide a school-age childcare program for summer 2024 and a software support renewal with Computer Solutions, Inc. for fiscal year 2025 at a cost of $21,552.

The board approved the 2024–2025 Preschool Expansion Aid District Planning and Enrollment Workbook and Budget Narrative and voted to amend the district's Long Range Facility Plan.
