Freehold Township School District Board of Education Meeting 10/27/2026

The Freehold Township Board of Education held its regular meeting on October 27, 2026. The finance, facilities, and transportation committee moved listed financial and contracting items, including bills and claims of $19,875 and $742.50, out-of-district transportation contracts through MOESC, tuition and other out-of-district contracts, homebound instruction services, and salaries for 2027 STEM classes in non-public schools. The transcript does not clearly capture the final board vote on these items. The business administrator certified that, as of September 30, no budget line item was overexpended and sufficient funds remained to meet district obligations.

The board discussed the Township’s planned application for a Safe Streets to School grant to improve Sherwood near Applegate, including crosswalks, solar-powered speed signs, sidewalks, curbs, and ADA-compliant curb cuts. No grant amount was stated; the district was asked to document board support, and no objections were raised to submitting a support letter. The work, if funded, is intended for the summer and would be coordinated with construction activity. The board also received a referendum update: roof work was reported largely complete, while pod changes and modifications may delay some work until February or March, with the project otherwise on target.
