The Warren Hills Regional Board of Education accepted the external audit for fiscal year 2024–2025 and approved a set of budget and finance motions during its Nov. 11 meeting.
Auditor Man Lee of Nisivoccia presented the audit, which the board placed on file and recorded as having no findings or recommendations. The board also approved the September board secretary and treasurer reports certifying that no major account was over-expended, as required by N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-16.10.
The board approved a bill list totaling $3,293,916.47 for the period Oct. 15–Nov. 11, 2025, and transfers for September 2025 amounting to $321,457.90. The motions passed with seven ayes; two members (Jean Hansen and Lisa Marshall) were recorded as absent.
Among contract actions, the board approved extended school year and related-services contracts with Morris-Union Jointure Commission (example line-item: $15,511.00), and multiple home/bedside instruction agreements with LearnWell (listed at $63.10 per hour plus a 33% administrative/prep charge) and Silvergate Prep ($41.00 per hour).
Field-trip transportation for a Hershey Park route was awarded to Easton Coach at $4,433.00 after the board reviewed competing quotes.
Facilities motions included an approved Change Order No. 14 for the high-school HVAC upgrades to add six photoelectric smoke detectors in the competition gym, at a cost of $9,562.48, per a fire inspector’s requirement.
The board approved a 2025–26 ESEA grant amendment to include carryover amounts across Title programs: Title I ($95,425), Title ISIA ($24,174), Title IIA ($3,110), Title III Immigrant ($1,305) and Title IV ($16,093). The board also accepted several modest donations, including $500 from Construction Industry Career Day sponsors and equipment from DonorsChoose valued at $2,048.
Votes at a glance: the financial motions, contracts and grant amendments were approved in a single roll-call series with seven ayes, zero nays, zero abstentions and two absences (Jean Hansen, Lisa Marshall).
The board’s acceptance of the audit and approval of funding and contracts will allow the district to proceed with planned maintenance, transportation arrangements for student trips, and contracted special-education services.
