September 23, 2026 – Regular Meeting

The Hackensack Public Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on September 23, 2026. The meeting included approval of board and district goals for the 2026-2027 school year, focusing on academic growth and family engagement. The board approved multiple personnel actions and policies, including a civility policy and a homework wellness survey initiative. Finance-related discussions involved approving joint transportation agreements with neighboring districts to enable billing for transportation services provided, as well as renewing membership in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association for the 2026-2027 school year. The board also approved resolutions related to afterschool mentoring programs and building and grounds maintenance. Several trustees abstained from votes involving Bergen County Special Services and Technical Schools due to conflicts of interest. The meeting emphasized community engagement, successful back-to-school events, and the opening of a new preschool playground. No new contract awards or RFPs were explicitly mentioned, but the joint transportation agreements and athletic association membership renewal represent ongoing procurement and budgetary activities.
