Marlboro Township Public Schools Board of Education meeting, October 13, 2026. The board approved personnel resolutions that included rescinding the superintendent’s existing contract and approving a new agreement; one board member abstained on those items, and the motion passed. The presentation described a five-year agreement with a first-year salary of $240,000, a second-year salary of $265,000, and 3.5% annual increases thereafter. The new agreement also incorporates human-resources director responsibilities and removes certain reimbursements and benefits. Residents raised concerns about the increases, budget pressures, program reductions, timing, and transparency; the board cited leadership retention and the upcoming budget and labor-agreement calendar as reasons for acting now. No vendor award or competitive procurement was identified.
The board also received a status update on HVAC improvements at Asher Holmes and Robertsville schools: equipment was on site, installation was underway, and completion was projected for late January, excluding power work; utility requirements remained subject to coordination with JCP&L. A separate presentation outlined health-benefit cost pressures, including a projected 34% premium increase—approximately $7 million—effective January 1, 2027, and discussed possible savings from employee plan enrollment changes. The board approved a first reading of a board-member decorum policy, with a change to a four-member review committee and a request for New Jersey School Boards Association feedback.
