The Northern Burlington County Regional School District Board on Dec. 8 voted to approve a broad consent agenda covering minutes, financial and treasurer reports, budget transfers, personnel appointments and program agreements. The motion passed on roll call with one abstention recorded for agenda item 7.03 (engineering/architectural services for a fuel storage tank). The meeting record shows the consent motion was made and seconded before the roll call.

Audit and finance: Business Administrator Ms. Williams told the board that the auditor from Holt McNally reported no audit findings for the 2024-25 school year. She also updated the board on Impact Aid processing, saying staff have begun issuing payments and the district is still collecting about 65 outstanding Impact Aid survey forms from students known to live on base.

Facilities and staffing: Ms. Williams recommended Jason Bickers for the position of director of facilities, noting his more than 15 years of school‑facilities experience and that Bickers attended the meeting. The auditorium construction project is progressing, she said, with additional steel deliveries and some slowdown in masonry work due to cold weather.

Fuel‑tank engineering services and cost‑sharing: A board member questioned whether the contract for engineering services tied to agenda item 7.03 included progress on negotiating cost sharing with Mansfield Township. Ms. Williams said the current contract is to scope and permit the work and that district staff plan to meet with Mansfield's manager to discuss cost sharing after scoping and pricing.

Votes and procedure: The consent agenda was approved by a roll‑call vote; the transcript records multiple 'yes' votes and one abstention on item 7.03. The board took no final action at the meeting to finalize a cost‑share agreement with Mansfield; that negotiation was described as forthcoming.

What comes next: Administrators will proceed with scoping and permitting for the fuel‑tank project and will follow up with Mansfield Township about potential cost sharing. The recommendation to hire Jason Bickers will be handled according to agenda and personnel procedures (the transcript records his recommendation and presence but does not show a separate, explicit confirmation vote in the public record excerpt).
