Board approves RFPs, Perkins grant submission and personnel items at July meeting
Summary
The board approved agenda items including RFPs for engineering and appraisal services (Garfield site), the 2027 Perkins consolidated grant submission, a psychiatric evaluation contract tied to a special-education settlement, and personnel items including a preschool/kindergarten coordinator stipend and MTSS hire.
Collingswood Public School District — On July 13 the board approved several consent and personnel items to keep district operations and procurement on schedule.
The board voted to approve agenda items 7.01–7.05, which included posting RFPs for engineering and appraisal services for the Garfield property and submitting the 2027 Perkins secondary consolidated grant application. Staff also noted a psychiatric‑evaluation contract related to a specific special‑education settlement so the district could proceed with an evaluation and placement decision.
Committee member (S5) moved to approve items 7.01–7.05; Committee member (S10) seconded the motion and roll call recorded approval by the board. Later the board approved personnel items 9.01–9.05, which included a stipend for a preschool/kindergarten program coordinator (funded from preschool grant funds), filling the secondary MTSS coordinator position, summer ESY nursing and related staff assignments, and keeping the 2007 Danielson teacher‑evaluation framework in place with an amendment planned in August to adopt the Danielson 2022 teacher rubric for classroom teachers.
Board members asked clarifying questions about stipend scope and funding; staff said the preschool grant will fund the coordinator stipend and that the change formalizes previously performed overtime work into a stipend model for a role that averages roughly 250 hours a year of additional work. The personnel motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
Vote details: roll call votes were recorded in the meeting record; all voting members present approved the listed consent and personnel items. The record shows one absent member (Mister McMillan) at the initial roll call and standard roll calls at the end of the agenda recorded affirmative votes for the presented items.
What’s next: staff will post the RFPs with required timelines, return in August with updated policy materials and finalized wording for items that require additional board approval, and implement the stipend and personnel assignments as approved.
