Board approves $3.22 million in November bills, signs transportation agreement
Summary
The board unanimously approved the November bill list of $3,215,532.59, accepted several modest donations, and authorized a joint transportation agreement with the Morris Union Jointure Commission that sets route and per‑diem aide rates for the 2024–25 school year.
On Nov. 14 the New Providence Board of Education approved finance items including the Board Secretary and Treasurer reports and the payment of bills for November 2024 totaling $3,215,532.59. Finance Chair Amanda Marano moved the package and Mr. Joseph Walsh seconded; the motion passed on a roll‑call unanimous vote.
The board also accepted several donations: $75 to the John R. O’Neill Memorial Scholarship Fund from Mr. and Mrs. Natunen; $1,000 from the New Providence Athletic Booster Club to the athletic cheer program; and $276 for middle‑school robotics t‑shirts donated by Mrs. Kyung Lee.
A notable administrative approval was the Joint Transportation Agreement with the Morris Union Jointure Commission for 2024–25, which sets per‑route annual and per‑diem aide rates for listed routes (examples reported in the agreement include Route 908 at $47,712.10 per annum and Route 980 at $77,907.40 per annum). The board also approved updated trip rates for jointure transportation services.
Why it matters: The bill list and joint transportation agreement commit district operating dollars and establish recurring service rates used for student transportation during the school year. The roll‑call vote was recorded as unanimous in favor.
The board carried the finance package by roll call; all seven members voted yea.
