Administrators said the telecom consultant Adelex and consultant Tony Parasella led the transition. Staff praised the work of the IT team, which performed most of the migration work over spring break.

The district also confirmed renewal of SmartPass, a digital hall pass system intended to reduce hallway time and produce real-time data for staff. Staff described SmartPass as aimed at maximizing instructional time and monitoring hallway movement.

On safety systems, administrators said the district will engage Periweather (described in the agenda as providing a wireless outdoor warning system and lightning-detection software) and that School Health will maintain 22 AEDs across district buildings. Critical Response Group was noted for updating digital floor plans with local police and fire department partners; staff said those plans support emergency preparedness.

An ethics presentation by Vic Lapierre (Fogarty Harrah — the law firm referenced in agenda materials) was scheduled to follow the administrative updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cliffside Park Board of Education Meeting May 6, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Administrators said the district replaced its aging phone system with 80 new phones at a lower monthly cost, renewed the SmartPass digital hall pass, and contracted new safety-related services including lightning detection and digital floor‑plan services.","taxTitle","Cliffside Park School District, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",60900,"location","New Jersey","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6250260,"District updates: multipurpose room awarded, gym HVAC bid set and athletic field may need resurfacing in 1–3 years",240,1304000,1544000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3203891-498781fdbfe3f4de8d16785f36220f1d&start=1304&end=1544","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3203891-498781fdbfe3f4de8d16785f36220f1d/thumbnail_1304000.jpg","/articles/6250260/New-Jersey/District-updates-multipurpose-room-awarded-gym-HVAC-bid-set-and-athletic-field-may-need-resurfacing-in-13-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250260-eef927abdd8a17947f062e758232f27f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180177&Signature=NouOnNiNrSnTYu~-r10j2CrLY8o8c5Zxu2jAV62RjKVN4ngu-hUkziEUoOsNyTAg1UD1LAbYMioT9jr5RfSbhH3Mu-DkULlUlD6dSTdrc6Cv-txX4VFnG~LJy1IsBP6YTLM-b9M23szNrzC3a93D75rHkLObFep3Ma5TgzflvrfpD-YzyKvohlgQLVVvMz48wCVZo0Mol5zDtFbJpVMzfK80ROKi~NiOxgsOrAozToBH4I1SGuLrqKABaDZ1TTHfMnc-DjTgWvyJXHg256O5fd2XaETJ9exv1t9zdcuUZa7-3CMrNg2wpoToPJtFxhFvubIRnSV~kkgoDfNhLUeLeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cliffside Park School District officials told the board that a multipurpose room contract has been awarded and that a bid opening is scheduled Thursday at 11:30 for the gymnasium HVAC project affecting schools No. 3 and No. 4.

Facilities staff said the district’s athletic field currently passes safety and concussion-related surface tests but indicated the field has “about another two to three years of shelf life,” at which point the district may go to bid for a new surface. Staff said they perform four maintenance sessions annually and conduct concussion testing before contact-season sports.

Administrators also noted continued use of CJ Vanderbeck for boiler inspections and cleaning, and Express Air as the HVAC-maintenance vendor; Land Associates remains one of the district’s architects of record. Staff said AHERA three‑year inspections showed no findings in recent reports.

The board did not take a final construction award at the meeting for the HVAC item; staff said they will update the board after the Thursday bid opening.","Administrators said a multipurpose room contract has been awarded, a gymnasium HVAC bid opening is scheduled, and the district’s athletic field shows roughly two to three years of remaining service life.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6250264,"Cliffside Park district lists roughly 100 vendors, announces medical consultant replacement and energy contractors",280,1230000,1510000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3203891-498781fdbfe3f4de8d16785f36220f1d&start=1230&end=1510","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3203891-498781fdbfe3f4de8d16785f36220f1d/thumbnail_1230000.jpg","/articles/6250264/New-Jersey/Cliffside-Park-district-lists-roughly-100-vendors-announces-medical-consultant-replacement-and-energy-contractors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250264-51c3ccba4cfd77e3d8fbf6cb75a6fc03/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180177&Signature=a9ks6p5-hzkdmXybq0C5wWhcsP4LtkUS8PouRVj2wlOvGub8IGft7lO4kRKfbbMHuUvOF6cTQGjEWJBRINJ1UuLyKKykKDZMpXAE3MDdgwFp8H3OsbLjOhPGu8v3XP2XaAa1563SP93PuVeBjfdSwOKLAFfqbBxmNeejLC2HUnq9mfxkrqzA-hKRreNsJsJrgCWY-mQ4jr59Ywg1sg5TQMCGK8tQMOodNV4mJUISrb1n7MEjq4WoYj~X6Ndc~RVRsS094OuFS4aPHSw17ilEALu-kPwuayp3fSJNcw3XkH-70MPeHOmF3V4hJA3ESm7Wkp13YYb41bSrzXnkXSw3~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cliffside Park School District presented its annual slate of vendor and contractor appointments at the May 1 meeting, saying roughly 100 vendors and professional service contracts are reviewed and renewed each year.

District officials said the board approves contracts spanning one- to three-year terms and that the purchasing agent was authorized a bid threshold of $44,000 to send capital projects to open bid. The district listed auditors Wilcox Company, asbestos/ AHERA contractor Hera (for three-year inspections), architects Land Associates, and energy-bidding firm Colteen Associates among recurring professional services.

Administrators announced a change in district medical consultants: Dr. Jonathan M. Dominguez will be replaced by Dr. Meese effective July 1, 2025; staff said Mr. Porfido will manage the transition in the coming weeks. The district also noted a recently awarded multipurpose room contract and an upcoming bid opening for a gymnasium HVAC project.

Energy supply arrangements were described as a “one-bill” contract model: PSE&G continues to bill the district while approved suppliers (named in the agenda as Approved Energy and Clean Sky Energy) supply gas and electricity. Staff said use of state, county and national cooperative contracts reduces the need for separate bidding on many items.

Board members and staff emphasized that, year over year, most vendor line items rose (commonly 3–5%, with some double-digit increases), and the administration said it negotiated reductions where possible.","At its May 1 meeting the district reviewed annual vendor and contractor appointments, named a new medical consultant effective July 1, and confirmed energy suppliers and auditors among the professional services on the annual docket.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6250269,"Cliffside Park Board swears in two members, elects Terabakia president and Garcia vice president",1594,676000,2270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3203891-498781fdbfe3f4de8d16785f36220f1d&start=676&end=2270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3203891-498781fdbfe3f4de8d16785f36220f1d/thumbnail_676000.jpg","/articles/6250269/New-Jersey/Cliffside-Park-Board-swears-in-two-members-elects-Terabakia-president-and-Garcia-vice-president","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250269-b06d046f6d0f202a5c02c62cfe113f1e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180177&Signature=hNNBNV1XN6JmnGwBcgPU8ZeNbwnUMYRrdRUpKW6B3dW3AaYxOTeXPq1scTclZCi0xcHUMBTENPvx99gd0QikjH8AhZm6~PJtEW5seqfrhnyI0t5kbGCc8jK-M3zc6DH6MxovIOF65fC1YCxYJJn1Q-xxln02WcT8cQ9o2JEDrlRqF6tvsAiveCLLlxfO91zSDAMwSUfwpaLqO7KMiJrZBCcakxgPiTY3LEIkpUu4oJerrJ~Pa-D~j16oQNb19TsmCobzCmOXbhA-3oJb1ZknpJH06kjjl4YLH0jlpTOEJo~bFB6b2FkMNSTMBHTZ~mhhH1II2UwIBCkV9Z7VQ19dZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cliffside Park Board of Education swore in two members and approved its reorganization agenda at its May 1, 2025, meeting, electing Jerry Terabakia president and Omaros Garcia vice president.

The reorganization motion to approve the agenda was made and seconded, and the board voted by roll call with the members present recorded as voting yes: Missus Abreu; Mister Capano; Mrs. Fredo; Mister Papziger; Madrude; Raycourt; Mister Russo; and Mister Terabakia. The motion carried.

Board members and administrators also acknowledged outgoing leadership and presented a plaque recognizing the prior president’s service to the district.

The board announced an ethics presentation by Vic Lapierre, scheduled to follow the reorganization items, and said it will send a resolution to the county confirming the presentation and that members had signed the district ethics code.

No expenditures or policy changes were adopted as part of the officer elections; the actions were organizational and procedural.","The Cliffside Park Board of Education swore in two newly elected members and unanimously approved its reorganization agenda, electing Jerry Terabakia as president and Omaros Garcia as vice president.","actionData","errors"]
