Summary
At its April 26 meeting the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School Board of Education adopted a tentative $24,664,084 budget for 2022-23, authorized a $442,500 capital-reserve withdrawal for partial roof replacement and approved routine fiscal items including bill lists and a nursing services contract.
The Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School Board of Education on April 26, 2022 adopted a tentative budget of $24,664,084 for the 2022–23 school year and authorized submission of that tentative budget to the Executive County Superintendent.
The budget resolution, presented during a public hearing conducted by Business Administrator Valery Petrone, lists anticipated revenues of $3,458,789 and a tax levy of $21,205,295. The resolution directed that the tentative budget be advertised in the Asbury Park Press and set the public hearing location and time as part of the statutory process.
Why it matters: the adopted tentative budget sets the district’s spending plan and the local tax levy that funds school operations until final adoption. The board also approved a capital-reserve withdrawal of $442,500 toward a partial roof replacement; the minutes list the total roof project cost at $540,000.
Details voted and reviewed during the meeting included a bill list dated April 26, 2022 showing: General Fund $298,837.86; Special Services Fund $13,809.00; Capital Projects Fund $285,184.23; Food Services Fund $375.00; total bills $598,206.09. Payroll for April 15, 2022 was recorded at $575,645.82; total expenditures presented on that agenda were $1,173,851.91.
The board approved several operational and contracting items related to the budget. On a motion by Mr. Kenney, seconded by Mr. Page, the board approved Items 5 through 10 by unanimous roll-call vote; those items included the bill list, uses of facilities, travel approvals, the Systems 3000 employee portal purchase and a nursing services contract with MOESC.
The Board approved a one-time $3,875 charge to build an Employee Portal for payroll through Systems 3000. It also approved an as‑needed school nursing services contract with MOESC at the following hourly rates: Public School Certified Nurse $75.00/hour; Registered Nurse (RN) $65.00/hour; Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) $50.00/hour.
The board restated travel and reimbursement requirements under N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-7.3 et seq., affirmed a maximum travel budget of $78,750 for the year and noted $21,191 had been expended to date; reimbursements were approved up to the established maximum.
What’s next: the tentative budget will be submitted to the Executive County Superintendent of Schools as required; the minutes indicate required advertising and procedural steps will follow. The board approved the related items by unanimous roll-call vote during the April 26 meeting.
