Board approves $1.31 million in bills, authorizes water-system project submission and contract adjustments
Summary
The board certified financial reports, approved $1,314,240.41 in bills, authorized H2M to submit an Other Capital application for middle-school water-system modifications without state funding, and approved change orders reducing a door-replacement contract.
At its Feb. 25 meeting the Union Township Board of Education approved a set of finance and facilities actions that included a $1,314,240.41 bills list, professional contracts, facilities-use requests, and capital-project steps.
Finance Committee Chair John Malone and Business Administrator presented the Board Secretary's and Treasurer's reports for January 2026; the board certified both reports in accordance with N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-16:10. The board approved the list of district bills for payment totaling $1,314,240.41 and accepted recommended budget transfers presented by the Business Administrator.
The board approved professional development items and facilities-use requests for community groups and school events. It approved a contract authorizing Behavior Therapy Associates to perform a Functional Behavior Assessment not to exceed $5,000. The board also authorized H2M Architects and Engineers to submit an application for Water System Modifications at Union Township Middle School to the New Jersey Department of Education as an Other Capital project, explicitly noting the district is not seeking state funding and directing H2M to amend the district's Long Range Facility Plan as needed.
Members approved Change Order #001 and Change Order #002 for the Door Replacement project, which together reduce the contract amount by $41,156.00 and $3,000.00 respectively, as recorded in the minutes. The finance/facilities consent agenda (F1–F10) was moved by Heather Eberstein and seconded by Lisette Esteves Lagoa and recorded as approved by roll-call vote with eight yes votes and one absence.
The minutes list these approvals and direct follow-up tasks to the Business Administrator and Facilities staff to submit the Other Capital application and update project documentation. The minutes do not include additional vendor quotes or contract text; procurement and contract documents would be maintained in district files.
