Summary
The Maywood Board of Education on June 24 authorized implementation of the 2026–27 budget, approved year‑end transfers including up to $1.5 million to a Capital Reserve and up to $250,000 to Maintenance Reserve, ratified multiple personnel appointments and collective bargaining agreements, and approved June check runs and payroll totals in a 6–0 consent vote.
The Maywood Board of Education on June 24 approved a broad slate of year‑end financial and personnel actions, authorizing implementation of the 2026–27 budget, several reserve transfers and routine payroll and check runs.
The board, in a consent block motion moved by Board President Taylor and seconded by Mr. Ramirez, carried the package 6–0. Superintendent Michael Jordan presented year‑end operational items and Business Administrator Jennifer Pfohl certified the financial reports.
Key financial approvals included authorization for the Business Administrator to transfer interest earned on capital project funds consistent with N.J.A.C. 6A:26‑4.2e, and two year‑end reserve transfers: up to $1,500,000 into a Capital Reserve account (authorized under N.J.A.C. 6A:23A‑14.3/14.4) and up to $250,000 into a Maintenance Reserve account. The board also approved a June check run for $2,030,184.54 and a cafeteria check run of $37,574.15. Payroll totals and employer share amounts were recorded on the agenda, with a reported total payroll expense of $1,267,518.15 for May.
The meeting approved ratification of successor collective negotiations agreements for custodians and for teachers and secretaries for the 2026–2029 contract periods; both resolutions state the agreements will be executed by board officers and are subject to association ratification where applicable. The agenda item language places the agreements on the record without listing detailed economic terms in the public minutes.
Personnel actions approved in the consent package included a wide range of hires, appointments and stipends for the 2026–27 school year and for summer ESY (Extended School Year) programming. Notable entries on the agenda included the reappointment of Michael Jordan as Superintendent for the 2026–27 year as listed (salary shown on the agenda) and multiple administrative and supervisory appointments and teacher tenure and appointment lists that specify steps and salary amounts for each employee.
The agenda also authorized standard cooperative purchasing agreements and joint transportation contracts for 2026–27, and listed ESY placements, related services rates, and 1:1 aides for out‑of‑district students for summer programs. The board recorded that approximately 70 students are scheduled to attend nine special‑education summer classes at MAS and Memorial.
The public meeting concluded after a closed‑session discussion on a residency matter; the board adjourned at 8:36 p.m.
What’s next: the resolutions approved authorize administrative action (contract execution, transfers, hires) to proceed under the supervision of the Superintendent and Business Administrator; specific implementation steps and any required regulatory filings are to follow as noted in the agenda language.
