Board renews MOA with Big Brothers Big Sisters, approves shop change order and student placements
Summary
The board renewed a $3,333.33 memorandum of agreement with Big Brothers Big Sisters, approved a $3,647 shop change order to meet warranty requirements, and authorized student placements and a Sussex County contract totaling $60,794 for two placements.
The Wallkill Valley Regional High School Board on Sept. 23 approved several contracts and addendum items, including a renewal of a Memorandum of Agreement with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Coastal & Northern NJ for $3,333.33, subject to review by the board attorney.
The board approved change order #1 for the Shop Upgrades at WVRHS project with T.M. Brennan Contractors, Inc., to hardwire two existing exhaust fans to meet Trane’s MUA warranty requirements. The change order reduced the contract allowance by $3,647, leaving a remaining allowance of $26,353.
Under addendum approvals the board accepted a Child Study Team request to enroll student #2526015 from High Point Regional in the district’s general education program at a cost of $21,972 for the 2025–26 school year. The board also authorized a contract with the Sussex County Educational Services Commission for transition services for student #2526016 from Sept. 22, 2025 through June 30, 2026 at a cost of $38,822.
Why it matters: The MOA supports an external mentoring partnership; the shop change order ensures vendor warranty coverage tied to mechanical work; the student placements and transition services commit district funds for special‑education support and external services.
What’s next: The MOA is subject to attorney review. Executive‑session matters on pending litigation were discussed before the board returned to open session and continued with personnel and addendum votes.
