The Byram Township Board of Education on Aug. 20 accepted July financial reports showing $7,307,480.56 across all funds and approved the August bills list totaling $877,647.64.
Business Administrator Theresa Radline told the board the district approved several transportation and facilities transactions included on the consent agenda. The board approved the sale of Bus #5 for $15,000; the minutes note the sale price was reduced by $5,000 because the district delayed receiving the new bus and the buyer-adjusted payment for added mileage. To maintain service while a replacement bus is delayed, the board approved a rental agreement with Yellow Bus Leasing for a 24-passenger bus from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31, 2025 at a cost of $11,600. The board also approved joint transportation agreements with Andover Regional School District for choice students totaling $3,531 for specified routes.
On facilities and security, the board approved a Hogan Security Group proposal to supply and install automatic doors at Byram Lakes School for $22,009.02 and a contract with J. Tufaro & Sons Electrical Contractors, Inc. for related electrical services not to exceed $3,526.00. The board additionally accepted a donation from the Say Hi Foundation—a Steamroller and replacement bands valued at $726 for the district’s Occupational Therapy program.
A motion to approve the full consent agenda (which contained these items) was made by Mrs. Kristy McFarlane and seconded by Ms. Lauren Pedersen and carried on roll call: McFarlane, Gallagher, Pedersen, Smith and Gorousingh voted yes; Ms. Lucente and Mr. McBain were absent.
