Monthly Board Meeting: 6-25-2026

The Fair Lawn Board of Education held its monthly meeting on June 25, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included a review of the summer learning academy course fees, where a motion was made to address inconsistencies in pricing between recovery and new credit courses. The board decided to refer this matter to the finance committee for further analysis. Additionally, the board discussed the potential issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an independent auditor, noting that the current auditor contract costs approximately $50,000 annually and that an RFP would be appropriate every five years. There was also mention of the New Jersey School Boards Association membership fee of nearly $30,000, with some board members questioning the value received for this expenditure. Other procurement topics included concerns about food service contract pricing and the suggestion to conduct a parent satisfaction survey regarding school meals. No contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during the meeting. Policy discussions touched on homeschool student participation in athletics and leave policies, but these did not result in immediate procurement actions. The board approved proclamations for Pride Month and Disability Awareness Month and recognized the successful school year and graduation events.
