Board reapproves tentative budget to correct clerical error; motion passes 8–2
Summary
The Hardyston Township Board of Education reconvened to correct a clerical error in its tentative budget submission and approved the corrected document in an 8–2 roll-call vote so the package can be sent to the county; the board said the final budget vote remains April 28.
The Hardyston Township Board of Education met to correct a clerical error in its tentative budget submission and reapproved the document so the county could accept it. The chair described the action as procedural and limited to fixing a numeric mismatch between the board resolution approved in March and the figures entered into the state reporting system.
"The action tonight is purely bridal and a formality," the presiding member said, explaining that county review flagged a typo and asked the board to reconvene to resubmit the corrected figures. The motion to fix the error was seconded and carried in a roll-call vote recorded in the transcript as eight yes votes and two no votes. The board said the correction does not change the underlying proposed 6.65% tax-levy figure; the final substantive budget discussion and vote are scheduled for April 28.
Board members emphasized the narrow scope of the vote: correct the clerical mismatch so the county will accept the submission and allow the district to continue requested follow-up work. The chair repeatedly invited members to call or meet individually with finance committee members to review line items before the April 28 vote.
