Students in Roxbury Township School District presented student-run businesses — a high-school auto-detailing service and a dog-treat bakery — as part of vocational and elementary entrepreneurship programs funded by grants; staff and trustees praised hands-on skill development and community support.
Superintendent Dr. Santoro told the board the district faces a roughly $3 million projected health‑benefit increase, $1.7 million in salary commitments and a loss of about 40 students (≈$800,000 in state aid). He also outlined compliance steps for a state-required bell‑to‑bell cell‑phone ban, reintroduction of cursive instruction and security procedures for potential ICE visits.
The Roxbury Township School District board approved finance resolutions 1–14, education resolutions 1–5, a policy resolution and personnel resolutions 1–20 by roll call and then voted to enter executive session; clerical issues on an out‑of‑district placement item were corrected before the finance vote.
The Roxbury Township Board of Education opened a regular meeting, read the New Jersey open public meetings law and, after roll call confirmed a quorum, moved into an executive (closed) session following a motion on the floor.
At its reorganization meeting the Roxbury Township Board of Education swore in Sharon MacGregor Nazaro and Christopher Milledie, elected Milledie board president and Anne Colucci vice president, and completed multiple roll-call reorganization votes.
Board member Carol Schenick delivered farewell remarks at her final meeting after 18½ years of service, recounting committee leadership, participation in superintendent searches and urging the board toward nonpartisan cooperation; colleagues offered thanks and congratulations.
An external audit presented to the Roxbury Township Board of Education shows a $14.8 million fund balance (largely restricted), $2.5 million in current-year surplus earmarked for the 2026–27 budget, and warnings of tighter budget cycles; the board approved finance resolutions 1–17 and several recusal disclosures.
Kennedy Elementary presented its Turkey Trot fundraiser (donations benefitting local animal rescues); Roxbury High School honored the girls soccer NJAC Division champions and coach Justin Renner’s 300th win, the Marching Gaels’ third straight state title, and cross-country champion Amanda Knapp, who will run at Iona.
Superintendent announced a carved-out, renovated program at Lincoln Roosevelt School to provide educational and therapeutic support for high-school-age students with substantial anxiety or depression preventing daily attendance; the program will be separate from regular Lincoln Roosevelt operations.
Superintendent reported multiple student- and program-level successes, outlined new pre-AP pathways and course approvals for 2026–27, confirmed completion of field testing for the New Jersey SLA adaptive assessment, and announced an NJ Department of Education visit to recognize district STEAM programs and an on-site college instant decision day.
