Moorestown BOE Meeting 8/25/2026

The Moorestown Township Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 25, 2026, where they discussed ongoing and upcoming capital improvement projects funded by a referendum. Key updates included roofing work completed at Roberts and Baker schools, with high school roofing scheduled for September, and fire safety design phases progressing for multiple buildings. The board anticipates putting these projects out to bid between October 2026 and January 2027, pending state approvals. Additionally, a significant HVAC overhaul project valued at approximately $17 to $18 million will begin its first year next summer. The board also reviewed policy updates related to state-mandated cell phone restrictions and discussed facility rental classifications and fee structures, noting that rental rates have not increased since the 2014-2015 school year, though custodial fees were recently raised. The transition to an electronic rental application and billing system was highlighted as a means to improve process efficiency and communication regarding facility usage and fees. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the bidding timeline and project scopes indicate forthcoming procurement activity related to construction and infrastructure improvements.
