The Union Township Board of Education on May 18 approved a $40,497.92 professional services contract with New Era Technology to replace cameras and a server, with payment to come from emergency reserves. The board adopted the contract as part of its finance and facilities agenda.
Board members also appointed Mark Kramer, the district's School Business Administrator/Board Secretary, as the board's purchasing agent and authorized him to award contracts under the state bid threshold and smaller-aggregate exceptions. The resolution cites N.J.S.A. 18A:18A-2 and related purchasing statutes in delegating authority to the purchasing agent.
The finance committee presented the package of contracts and vendor approvals, which included technology support and related services for special education and other district needs. The board recorded the motions and carried the items by roll call. The minutes show the board approved the district bills for April 2026 totaling $1,100,542.76 elsewhere on the finance agenda.
The board did not provide detailed justification for why emergency reserves were used for the New Era contract in the minutes. The approved item appears under a grouped finance consent agenda approved by the board during the meeting. The item is scheduled to be implemented by district administration following the board's authorization.
