At its Aug. 20 meeting the Long Beach Island Board of Education accepted a paraprofessional's resignation, set substitute pay rates, approved financial reports and bills totaling $241,008.38, confirmed committee rosters and contracts (including a $2,420 contract with the Commission for the Blind), and heard public comment about a reduced sale price for LBI Grade School property.
The Long Beach Island Board of Education on Aug. 20 approved a range of routine but consequential items: a resignation, staffing and substitute pay details, financial reports and committee appointments — and heard public comment on an unrelated property-sale issue.
The board accepted a resignation from paraprofessional Olivia Tilton, effective Aug. 14, 2024. Motion language in the minutes thanks Ms. Tilton for her service; the resignation was accepted as presented.
On personnel pay, the board set substitute rates for the 2024–25 school year: teacher substitutes $130 per day ($160 for long-term), nurses $210 per day, aides/secretaries $17 per hour, custodians $18 per hour and bus drivers $19 per hour. The board also approved stipend and summer curriculum-review assignments, and a roster of substitute personnel pending required paperwork.
Financially, the board approved the Secretary and Treasurer reports for July 2024 and accepted the Statement of Cash Balances. The August bills list approved at the meeting totaled $241,008.38; the roll-call vote on that item was 6–1, with Mr. Schragger voting Nay.
The board approved a $2,420 contract with the New Jersey Department of Human Services Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired for the 2024–25 school year. It also approved standing orders, the district Emergency AED Action Plan and an Exposure Control Plan for bloodborne pathogens, along with committee rosters for safety, wellness, I&RS and school climate teams.
During public comment, members of the public raised concerns about a reduction in the sale price for LBI Grade School property and asked questions about the Educational Facilities Plan and the preschool transition plan; the minutes record the topics but do not list individual speakers by name.
The board approved a resolution setting its next meeting to open in executive session on Sept. 17, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.; the public session is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 6:49 p.m.
