The Pennsauken Township Board of Education on May 13 approved a package of finance and procurement items that included a May bill list totaling $12,942,494.11, renewals of health benefits, and multiple vendor contracts and payment applications for capital projects.
Key finance approvals: The board’s reported department totals listed a May 2024 general fund bill list of $5,707,619.20, payrolls and special checks, and a stated total of $12,942,494.11 for the period presented. Under benefits, the agenda showed SHIF Amerihealth medical benefits estimated at $17,119,572.00 and Benecard prescription benefits at $3,967,707.24 for 2024–25.
Contract awards and renewals: The board approved a contract award to Delta Dental of New Jersey, Inc., for dental insurance (estimated amount $791,187.48) and authorized renewal of several maintenance and service contracts (for example, Genserve, Inc. for emergency generator maintenance). The board also authorized professional services for the Pennsauken High School Magnet/STEM addition: LAN Associates for architectural design and construction administration not to exceed $440,000 and Remington & Vernick Engineers for MEP/site/structural engineering not to exceed $458,787.
Capital projects and payments: The agenda included Payment Application #6 for the Phifer Middle School HVAC upgrades in the amount of $1,429,428.00 and Payment Application #3 for lighting work at $115,008.00. The board also approved purchase and installation of auditorium seating (Longo Associates) not to exceed $614,575.35 for Phifer Middle School and Pennsauken High School.
Why it matters: The approvals move multiple construction and facilities projects forward and lock in benefit and vendor terms for the 2024–25 school year. Several of the dollar amounts — notably benefits and construction payments — represent material commitments in the forthcoming budget year.
Votes and procedure: Business and finance items (Agenda Items 45–74) were approved by motion; the minutes record the motion as carried on the agenda vote.
What’s next: Project payment schedules, contract documents and budgetary impacts will be managed by the district’s Business Administrator/Board Secretary and appear in subsequent board financial reports.
