At the Sept. 26 meeting, the Salem County Special Services School District and Salem County Vocational Technical School District boards certified monthly financial reports and approved payroll and warrant payments for August.
The Board Secretary reported that no line‑item accounts were over‑expended and that the Reconciliation of Cash for School Funds and Board Secretary reports were in agreement for revised months (February [revised], July and August as noted). The board approved SCVTS payrolls for pay periods ending Aug. 15 ($143,267.83) and Aug. 30 ($106,963.04) and payments for the period of August 2023 totaling $935,907.13; later SCSSSD payrolls were listed (Aug. 15 $321,098.97; Aug. 30 $358,956.19) and payments for August totaling $685,895.98. Motions to approve these financial items passed on roll call with four members recorded in favor.
Program grants were also addressed. The board accepted a FY2023 Perkins Postsecondary allocation of $80,784 for the July 1, 2023–June 30, 2024 budget period. The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) 'Salem County Achievers 2028' schedule was approved; that program will run in partnership with the Penns Grove‑Carneys Point Regional School District beginning Oct. 16, 2023 and continuing through about May 31, 2024, with listed site locations and times in the packet.
The board approved numerous 21st CCLC staff funded through that grant (instructional aides, instructors, site coordinators and substitutes) with specified hourly rates (instructional aides $18/hour; instructors $38/hour; site coordinators/technology coordinator $43/hour). The meeting packet listed staff names and roles; the board carried the motions to approve those appointments during the personnel section.
