On April 8, 2025 the Warren Hills Regional Board approved a $2,320,967.94 bill list, authorized the purchase of 300 Chromebooks for $113,250 using Title I funds and issued a $164,800 purchase order for spillway mitigation after FEMA increased funding.
The Warren Hills Regional Board of Education on April 8 approved a bill list totaling $2,320,967.94 and a set of contracts and purchases that the administration said respond to classroom, safety and infrastructure needs.
Board members voted to accept the February board secretary and treasurer reports and to approve the March 19–April 8 bill list. The board also approved transfers totaling $451,345.12 meant to align budget lines for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The board authorized the purchase from CDW‑G of 300 Chromebooks at a cost of $113,250, under the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ/AEPA‑22G) contract, charged to Title I funds. The administration described the purchase as part of device refresh and classroom technology support.
Separately, the board approved a purchase order with Wantage Fence and Stonework LLC in the amount of $164,800 to address additional mitigation measures to a spillway after unforeseen site conditions altered repair needs; the administration reported FEMA reviewed the request and increased available funding for the project.
Other finance items approved included LearnWell home/bedside instruction agreements billed at $61.25 per hour plus a 33% administrative/preparation fee for specified students, a Perkins Grant amendment, submission of a $3,100 FY2025 NJSIG Safety Grant for building updates, and acceptance of donations (including $15,173.28 from the Streaks Wrestling Club for a new wrestling mat and a retroactive $1,300 donation from the Streaks Softball Club for storage-shed construction).
The motions for the budget and contracts were moved and seconded by board members and passed in roll-call votes with members Jean Hansen and Paula Merrill recorded absent.
The board’s next steps for these procurement items are standard administrative contracting procedures; no additional public hearings on these purchases were scheduled during the meeting.
