Summary
At its Aug. 22 meeting, the Salem County boards approved district goals for 2023–24, a budget calendar, acceptance of four major grants totaling roughly $1.4 million, multiple vendor agreements and administrative measures including online payment fees for parents.
The Salem County Special Services School District and Salem County Vocational Technical School District boards approved a package of administrative, budgetary and program measures at their regular meeting on Aug. 22 in Woodstown.
Board members voted 6-0 to adopt the SCVTS/SCSSSD board goals for 2023–24 and to approve a budget development calendar that sets worksheet, draft and final-approval dates through March 2024. Business administrators presented revised Secretary and cash-reconciliation reports and the board certified that no accounts were over-expended.
The boards accepted four FY2023 grants: Perkins Secondary ($123,035), IDEA Basic ($160,922), the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant ($500,000), and WIOA Title II ($639,317). The board also approved a shared-services contract with Salem County to provide Adult Basic Skills training at the county correctional facility for a cost not to exceed $21,525 per year.
On vendor contracts, board members approved a 10-month shared-services agreement to provide computer technician services to Alloway Township at $3,482.50 per month and an agreement with Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP for fire alarm and suppression services at SCVTS totaling $11,154.74. The board also accepted the district’s 2023 Fixed Asset Report and approved payment of $950 to produce that report. A Business Associate Agreement with Brown and Brown consistent with HHS/HITECH/HIPAA guidance was approved as recommended by the Business Administrator.
Administrators asked for and received approval to use FormSite to process online credit card payments for The Learning Center (TLC) and for SCVTS food-service transactions; the board approved charging parents a $5 administrative fee per transaction to cover processing costs. The Business Administrator also proposed, and the board approved, continuing the County of Camden’s procurement arrangement through the South Jersey Power Cooperative (SJPC) to procure retail gas services for SCVTS.
The meeting recessed into executive session for confidential personnel, legal and safety matters and adjourned at 7:18 p.m.
