The board president told attendees that board representatives met over the summer with Mayor Law, Deputy Mayor Mamarella, Councilman Keating and township financial staff to discuss the matter. \"We learned, this afternoon, from a letter from Mr. Law... notwithstanding the financial statements ... the 31,000 is not pilot revenue,\" the president said, adding \"it sounds like, we there there's not, at this moment, an agreement on that piece of it.\" (Transcript punctuation and pauses reproduced as spoken.)

Background and context: the board said it had reviewed township financial statements and identified approximately $31,000 it considered pilot revenue and asked that the district receive a 90 percent share of that amount because of its relatively small size but meaningful impact on district operations. The board noted that larger pilot revenue tied to the Pearl redevelopment — which the board estimated in the transcript as roughly $50 million to $54 million — could be significantly more consequential in the future.

Next steps: the board said it is awaiting a formal proposal from the township to move the discussion toward resolution; the board characterized the topic as an ongoing multi‑year discussion that began about two and a half years ago.

What was not decided: no final agreement or transfer of funds was recorded in the meeting. The board said it would continue conversations with township officials and expects additional proposals and clarification from the township.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Moorestown BOE Meeting 8/26/25","oneSentenceSummary","Board members said they met with township officials about sharing pilot revenue and that the township has disputed whether a $31,000 item qualifies as pilot revenue; the board requested a proposal and said the matter remains unresolved.","taxTitle","Moorestown Township Public School District, School Districts, New Jersey","taxId",53770,"location","New Jersey","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6480313,"Moorestown board approves routine minutes, placements, personnel and reports; roll call recorded for employee relations items",1387,84000,1471000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5682189-2ad09a5c1601cbc36251d0b0bea04fcb&start=84&end=1471","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5682189-2ad09a5c1601cbc36251d0b0bea04fcb/thumbnail_84000.jpg","/articles/6480313/New-Jersey/Moorestown-board-approves-routine-minutes-placements-personnel-and-reports-roll-call-recorded-for-employee-relations-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480313-84f52aaeca0509d23ae12d489d2d5c7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770984480&Signature=KaqvsBIKozDDIXzo0meajtfjE~Z3XlnWgJjvE~xGDrNxsUMR1n5zRcAgT65leq-p77JktMJlO2AMJNiSoOPUguud0CAsJgKKCf-ZqFD3iEjt6Pb159FBGYtAfkw5eeQuNI2SNyLyhDqVV~ZdLXzEbztlspxRYow20LexF85sqqbV4ArcUrVbwy52olijXD6kqh~62MRZlVUqtMcVdxNEpjFRcyXXgpvO6x520h8vu1vNCAvvKAl~oZ-yUHhkC5KxZ1LPlsP5F6eMpl0ZxeB0h2bxcjhTryQ33S82iL7634ocuc4TF2i7pZ4mezvZmf9XVjx3apMFFVo52d5xAbJBkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moorestown Township Board of Education approved a series of routine business and personnel items at its August 2025 meeting, including minutes, out‑of‑district placements for 2025–26, a settlement agreement and employee relations actions. Several items were handled as omnibus motions.

Board actions taken (motions approved during the meeting):

- Approval of minutes: The board approved minutes for the June 17 and June 30, 2025 meetings. A member stated, \"I'm abstaining from the second,\" for the June 30 minutes; the transcript did not name the member who abstained.

- Article 9(a) items 1–5: Approved (routine reports and financial items listed in the agenda).

- Article 10: Approved — the board voted separately to approve out‑of‑district placements for the 2025–26 school year and approved the settlement agreement listed on the agenda.

- Article 10(b) items 1–11: Approved (routine business items listed in that section). The board noted that members who attended a recent board convention appropriately abstained from reimbursement for that travel; the transcript did not list those abstaining members by name.

- Article 10(c) employee relations items 1–5: Approved by roll call. The board recorded the following affirmative votes in sequence during the roll call: Missus Arquera Burns (Yes); Missus Aurora (Yes); Missus Barnes (Yes); Missus Fowles Macaluso (Yes); Doctor Myatt (Yes); Missus Miller (Yes); Missus Moreno (Yes); Missus Weeks (Yes); Mister Villanueva (Yes). The chair announced the roll call as required.

- Article 11: Approved — items concerning substantial suspensions and the superintendent's HIB (harassment, intimidation and bullying) report were approved as presented.

What this means: none of the recorded motions was tabled or failed during the meeting; routine approvals were handled largely without extended discussion. The transcript records one explicit abstention (June 30 minutes) and board members’ abstentions on travel reimbursements related to attendance at the board convention.

At the end of the meeting the board moved to adjourn.","At its August 2025 meeting the board approved minutes, out‑of‑district placements, a settlement agreement, a package of routine business items and employee relations items (roll call recorded).

\"This year, we are currently awaiting guidance from the state regarding the graduation requirements for the class of 2026 and beyond,\" said Dr. Benton, the district administrator who presented the assessment data.

Why it matters: the NJ GPA is one of the pathways students may use to meet graduation requirements. The district said high pass rates reduce the number of students who must rely on alternative pathways such as SAT scores or portfolio appeals.

District figures presented for the cohort who were 11th graders this year (the class of 2026) showed 294 students tested in English language arts and 293 in mathematics. The district said students must meet a cut score of 725 or higher in both ELA and math to be considered graduation‑ready. Moorestown reported that 95 percent of those students met the ELA requirement and 88.4 percent met the math requirement; by comparison the district cited statewide averages of about 80 percent (ELA) and 58 percent (math).

The board heard a three‑year trend comparison showing Moorestown’s ELA performance remained well above the state average and that targeted interventions — including summer programs and focused standard‑level instruction — helped students who were just below proficiency. The district said it runs a summer intervention program ahead of the summer administration of the test so some students can retake and pass, and that portfolios started early in the school year are typically submitted in January or February when required. Over the last four years the district reported a 100 percent completion rate among students who pursued the graduation portfolio route.

Administrators also reviewed subgroup performance and cautioned that subgroups in Moorestown are small in number; for example, African American students represented about 4 percent of the tested cohort, so single‑student changes can affect percentage calculations. The district said it concentrates supports on students who fall just below proficiency bands.

On multilingual learners, the district reported growth in enrollment since 2014 and described supervisory and program changes intended to better align early language acquisition and literacy work. The district said it reorganized supervisory responsibility so K–3 foundational language acquisition aligns with early literacy instruction, and grades 4–12 supervision focuses on content‑area language acquisition and supports.

District figures: 66 students were identified as being \"in program\" for multilingual learner services; that group’s average WIDA ACCESS score was reported as 3.49 this year (overall district average 3.46). The district said it exited nine students from the program this year and exited 26 students the previous year. Administrators described uses of Title III funds for after‑school tutoring, parent engagement nights and supplemental literacy and communication resources, and said they are adding building signage and other classroom supports to help conversational language acquisition and inclusion.

State testing vendor change and next steps: the district said the state announced on Aug. 13 and updated on Aug. 22 that a new vendor, Cambium, will replace Pearson and that adaptive forms of the NJSLA and the New Jersey graduation proficiency assessment will require field testing in 2025. District testing and technology coordinators will attend state training sessions; the district said it will communicate annually to parents about assessments and will provide more information after state training and guidance are received.

The presentation was given during the board’s regular August meeting; administrators said they will continue to monitor detailed subgroup trends and work to move students into higher proficiency bands through targeted interventions and instruction.","District administrators told the board Moorestown’s 11th-graders largely met the New Jersey graduation proficiency assessment this year and described program expansions and supports for multilingual learners ahead of the 2025–26 school year.","actionData","errors"]
