The South River Board of Education on Tuesday approved a consent resolution that bundled routine and operational items including the 2026–27 budget calendar, vendor contracts for district security cameras, the ALEKS math program and new literacy materials, as well as field-trip and graduation equipment contracts.

The consent resolution covered superintendent items 3.1–3.4, finance items 8.1–8.9, instruction items 9.1–9.6, human resources items 12.1–12.6, safety and risk management item 13.1 and residency item 16.1. The board adopted the measure by voice vote after a motion to consider the items together.

Finance committee representative Miss Lille summarized the package before the vote, saying, “The finance committee, after review of all items on this month's agenda and upon recommendation of the superintendent, recommends approval of the items 8.1 through 8.9.” The listed finance items include the district’s 2627 budget calendar, contracts for security cameras, ALEKS licensing, the new literacy series, home instruction services, a field-trip agreement with Liberty Science Center, chair rentals for graduation and routine tax requisitions and line-item transfers.

The board also approved earlier routine motions on the meeting agenda by voice vote, including approval of minutes from prior meetings, multiple “use of facilities” requests and certification of the July 2025 board secretary and treasurer reports. Miss Lille moved approval of the financial report; Miss Sadowski seconded, and the board voted in favor.

Board members who participated in discussion and procedural motions included Mr. Rosa, who presented the consent resolution, and Mr. Nielsen, who called the roll and facilitated votes. Where committee chairs reported, they stated their committees had reviewed the items and recommended approval.

The general-consent approach consolidated multiple vendor agreements and personnel and residency routine approvals into a single action the board said would streamline administrative operations. The board did not debate the individual contracts at length during the public meeting; committee reports indicated the agreements had been reviewed in committee beforehand.
