Board approves ESY schedule and therapy rates, and summer staffing
Summary
The board approved Extended School Year staffing and session dates (June 29–July 30, 2026), provider rates for OT/PT/speech and additional limited summer hours for Child Study Team and counselors; some custodial start dates listed in the agenda appear inconsistent with the meeting date.
The Franklin Borough Board of Education approved ESY (Extended School Year) personnel and session scheduling for June 29–July 30, 2026 (staff session 8:45–11:45 a.m.; student session 9:00–11:30 a.m., Monday–Thursday). Staff assignments include multiple teachers and paraprofessionals at contracted hourly rates and five hours of prep time per teacher.
The board approved vendor/provider rates listed in the agenda for additional services during ESY and summer: J&B Therapy, LLC for Occupational Therapy at $88 per hour; Performance Pediatrics for Physical Therapy at $90 per hour; speech services by Melissa Devido at $45 per hour; school nurse Sabrina Mohammed at $56 per hour; and a school security officer at $33.34 per hour. The board also approved limited additional summer hours for Child Study Team members and counselors with stated hourly caps. The agenda lists summer custodial appointments with start/end dates shown as June 16, 2025 through Sept 1, 2025; that date range conflicts with the May 18, 2026 meeting date and was noted on the record as inconsistent.
