New Providence Board approves $6.52 million March bill list and routine finance actions
Summary
The New Providence Board of Education on March 26 approved the March bill list totaling $6,523,843.52 and a package of finance actions including transfers, donations, transportation agreements and contingency bus vendor approval.
The New Providence Board of Education approved a finance package at its March 26 business meeting that included the March bill list of $6,523,843.52 and several related items.
Finance Chair Stacey Gunderman moved to accept the Board Secretary and Treasurer reports for February and to authorize the March bill list. The motion, seconded by Donna Zane, was carried by roll-call vote with all seven board members recorded as Yea.
The approvals also included ratified transfers totaling $16,861.23 (from workers' compensation and grade‑level salary lines into unused sick‑day payments), acceptance of multiple donations (including $1,400 from the Drive for Autism Foundation to support occupational and speech‑therapy supplies), and authorization of a joint-transportation agreement with the Morris‑Union Jointure Commission for route 925 at $15,262.95 per annum. The board also approved Byram Bus, Inc. as an alternate vendor for athletics, extracurricular and field‑trip transportation if the Jointure Commission cannot provide service.
Board Business Administrator James Testa told trustees that remaining bond referendum funds continue to be evaluated for capital priorities and that any small remaining balance after required federal arbitrage calculations would be returned to taxpayers in a future budget. Finance Chair Gunderman thanked administrators for their work assembling the budget materials and ensuring compliance with state timelines.
