The Waterford Township Board of Education on March 15 tentatively approved the 2023–24 school district budget for submission to the Executive County Superintendent of Schools and approved multiple finance-related contracts and payments.
Board members voted to submit the tentative budget after a presentation by Superintendent Dr. Michael Nolan and Assistant Superintendent for Business Daniel J. Fox. The board also amended the district's Preschool Expansion Grant to reflect a $40,000 carry‑over and a $40,000 transportation allocation and approved the related planning workbook and budget narrative.
The board approved payments from several bills lists and vendor statements during the meeting. The minutes list Bills List #1 at $1,276,378.99, Bills List #2 at $17,452.86, Bills List #3 at $8,155.48 and Nutri‑Serve at $44,760.81. The board also received routine financial reports including the investment report, the Board Secretary's report and the Nutri‑Serve Financial Statement.
On contracts, the board approved an amended 2022–23 joint transportation agreement with the Hammonton Board of Education, reducing the payment by $617.20 after a student no longer required transportation. The board approved a special‑education tuition agreement with the Folsom Board of Education for the 2023–24 school year at a net cost of $45,321. The board also approved an amended special‑education tuition agreement with Hammonton for 2023–24 at a net cost of $889,347.
Assistant Superintendent Fox presented the financial certifications required by statute for January 2023; the minutes record the Board Secretary's certification that no line item was over‑expended and that sufficient funds are available to meet obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The board carried these finance items by roll call or voice votes as listed in the minutes. The tentative budget now proceeds to the Executive County Superintendent for review; the minutes do not specify a public hearing date or final adoption timeline.
