BOE Meeting - 10/27/2026

Cherry Hill Public Schools Board of Education meeting, October 27, 2026. The board received a bond-project update covering completed and ongoing renovations, including Cherry Hill High School West locker rooms and Cherry Hill High School East’s auditorium, which remained scheduled to reopen January 1. Upcoming work includes media center renovations at both high schools, West exterior-facade work, and the East F-wing reconstruction, which was expected to go out to bid within about a month. Elementary-school interior and HVAC upgrades and additional site work were also discussed. The administration said remaining work at Rosa’s parking areas may require a Capital Reserve allocation during budget development; no specific allocation or construction contract award was approved at this meeting.

The board approved action items 12.2–12.5, including a professional services agreement with the Southern New Jersey Perinatal Cooperative for the 2026–27 school year. A commenter estimated the agreement’s value at about $236,000 based on the listed per-student rate and enrollment, and urged the board to seek bids; the administration clarified that the services are recommended by nonpublic-school partners and paid through their funding, not by the district. The board also approved other action-agenda items and a non-substantive wording amendment to the open-enrollment policy. The meeting’s other major discussion was student discipline data and planned interventions, with quarterly progress reporting to the board.
