Hammonton Special BOE Meeting: March 19, 2026

The Hammonton Schools Board of Education held a special meeting on March 19, 2026, primarily to introduce and discuss the tentative budget and to hear presentations related to an Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP). The board approved finance, personnel, and program items, including the initial introduction of the budget, with the understanding that further committee meetings would refine it. Three ESIP vendors—DCO Energy, ABM with Colliers Engineering, and Honeywell—presented their proposals for energy conservation and capital improvement projects aimed at upgrading school facilities with no out-of-pocket cost to the district. These projects focus on LED lighting upgrades, HVAC system replacements, energy management systems, and solar energy enhancements, funded through energy savings and various grants and rebates. The presentations emphasized local subcontractor involvement, guaranteed energy savings, and long-term partnerships. The board acknowledged the proposals and planned to deliberate further before making a final decision.
