The Hainesport Township Board of Education convened its regular meeting on Sept. 26, 2023, in the school cafeteria and approved minutes, personnel appointments, policy updates and memberships in cooperative purchasing agreements before adjourning at 7:25 p.m.
Board President Jason Cardonick congratulated school principals and Superintendent Joseph R. Corn on “an excellent start to the new school year,” and the board approved routine administrative reports including the monthly HIB report, code of conduct, enrollment and nurse’s reports. Superintendent Joseph R. Corn reported to the board that instructional rigor has been high early in the year.
On student services, the board approved an out-of-district placement (OD-0425) at Y.A.L.E. with tuition recorded as $68,323.50 for the 2023–24 school year and ratified revisions to policies and regulations, including R2419 (School Threat Assessment Teams) and R1642.01 (Sick Leave).
The board acted on a slate of human resources items presented by Human Resources Chair Jason Cardonick, approving substitute and paraprofessional appointments, ratifying one-to-one aides and accepting resignations. The board approved leaves of absence documented in the agenda (including a maternity leave and medical leaves) and authorized hiring a psychologist through an Educational Services Unit at a stated per-evaluation cost not to exceed the listed cap.
Finance and operations items approved included the board secretary’s and treasurer’s reports for July 2023, an appropriation adjustment journal, payment of bills, and continued membership in several purchasing cooperatives at no cost. The board also authorized applying for and accepting membership in additional cooperative purchasing programs and adopted Resolution 2023–2024 #10 (joining the New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance/Bergen Bids) and Resolution 2023–2024 #11 (joining the Hunterdon County Educational Services Commission cooperative pricing agreement).
The board approved multiple field trips, facility-use requests and extracurricular activities (dances, a Flamenco performance, SGA events), noting that approvals are contingent on required documentation such as proof of insurance. The agenda also included a large volunteers list that the board ratified.
During public comment periods, members of the public asked about the district’s policy under the expanded sick leave law and inquired about the status of an air-conditioning unit in a classroom. The board advised members of the public to first pursue concerns with appropriate staff and returned to session without moving into executive session.
The meeting concluded with routine housekeeping about upcoming dates — including back-to-school nights Sept. 27–28 and an Oct. 9 inservice day — and the board adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
