# Nutley Board of Education Meeting 2026-09-28

Nutley Board of Education meeting, September 28, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is September 29 UTC): The board discussed several facility and transportation matters. The business administrator reported that the approval agenda included a joint transportation agreement with Belleville Public Schools to share a bus route for several Nutley students and reduce the need to hire an outside transportation company, and an amendment to the long-range facilities plan that will have architects walk through every school to identify potential changes. The finance committee also reviewed payment application No. 4 for a basement project, facilities updates including middle-school classroom-conversion HVAC work and an IT chiller, school and field use fees, and establishing an emergency reserve. No vendor names, contract amounts, or project costs were provided. The board approved finance resolutions 1–16; one member abstained on resolution 9 and another abstained from a check under item 3.

The business administrator reported a positive FY2026 year-end balance, correction of the prior audit’s findings, and two new clerical findings; the final audit was still pending state information. A reserve resolution was on the agenda to place unused insurance funds into reserve after the broker warned of a possible $400,000 health-insurance shortfall. Other district initiatives included an awarded New Jersey Inclusion Project grant, a Montclair State University partnership for staff professional development in American Sign Language, and the sixth-grade transition’s added classrooms and media center. No specific grant amount or new construction contract award was identified.
