Linden Board of Education Meeting - 6/18/2026

The Linden Board of Education held a meeting on June 18, 2026, where they approved minutes from previous meetings and discussed various educational and student engagement initiatives. A significant portion of the meeting highlighted student leadership activities, academic achievements, and partnerships, including a dual enrollment program with Kean University that saved families over $275,000 in college costs. Procurement-related discussions focused on capital improvement projects, notably a renovation of the library at School Number 10 to create office space and reconfigure the library, funded through the district's capital reserve. The board approved motions related to finance items, including expenditures for ongoing projects and contracts, with some members expressing concerns about continued spending on the Edmentum program due to lack of impact on test scores and suggesting exploration of alternative options. The board unanimously approved all finance motions and contract amendments presented during the meeting.
