Keansburg board accepts 2024–25 audit with no findings, approves personnel and routine consent items
Summary
At its Jan. 10 meeting the Keansburg Board of Education approved a packaged set of personnel actions, accepted the 2024–25 annual audit with no findings, and moved several policy/regulation items to first reading. Roll calls recorded unanimous affirmative responses among members present for each vote.
The Keansburg Board of Education moved through routine business at its Jan. 10 meeting, voting to approve packaged personnel recommendations, accept the 2024–25 annual audit, and advance policy items to first reading.
The superintendent recommended positive action on a consent package of personnel items that included professional and non‑professional employment, long‑term substitute appointments, multiple types of leaves of absence (medical, intermittent family, maternity/child care revisions), substitute teacher lists, after‑school program hires and professional development items costing $150 or more. A motion to approve the personnel package was made and seconded; a roll call recorded recorded "Yes" votes from the members present (Mr. Kitchen, Mr. Cook, Mr. Hoff, Miss Ferraro and Miss Ryan).
In the business administrator’s report, the Board Secretary certified the December 2025 financial report and payroll. The superintendent recommended that the board accept the 2024–25 annual audit prepared by HFA; the transcript records the superintendent stating the audit had "no findings" in the annual comprehensive financial report and auditor's management report. The board voted to accept the audit; the roll call of members present recorded affirmative votes.
The board also moved policy and regulation items to first reading (listed in the transcript as item numbers and regulation references) and approved general consent items including disposal of unusable furniture, acceptance of a donation for Joseph R. Bulger Middle School, in‑class state trips for 2025–26, senior seminar internship locations and a school bus evacuation drill. Board members explained that monthly approval of disposal items avoids delaying necessary disposals until a later meeting.
Motions were recorded and roll‑call votes were taken for the listed consent agenda items; the transcript includes multiple affirmative roll‑call responses from the members present. The board scheduled the next audit presentation to occur at an upcoming meeting when the auditor will present the audit documents in person.
