the referendum was voted upon. So, just to give the board an update and I will have more information for finance and facilities next week. Um, Miss Hiramoto uh set up time with the financial advisor um already for us to really get an understanding of the process moving
forward along the lines of um acquiring the funds and as well as scheduling out what needs to be done um along the way. So, we're we have a schedule set up uh for the next steps on the financial side
of it. We also met with uh Steve from land associates this week um which we'll share with the finance facilities uh committee next week uh for the schedule of projects. Um obviously we're going to propose those
projects and finance and facilities. we'll have a chance to talk through it, really understand the scope of each project, um, and the timing of each project. So, next week, that will be um, a major topic on that agenda. Nothing is finalized at this point, but I'm I'm
pretty uh, comfortable with what we've done so far. I feel like it is an aggressive schedule, uh, but it's also a responsible schedule along the lines of making sure things are done to the level that MA expects it. So those that's
really my report at this time. As I said, it's not too much information, but I did want to let the board and the community know that we're already working on um utilizing those funds in the way that they should be. Um the last thing uh Dr. Fair was nice enough to uh
to bring this up. This is another award that we were able to receive. This is, I believe, our third time winning this award. This is from Mawa High School. This is the ITA um award of STEM school of excellence.
Um I believe it was Mr. Calves and Mr. Co went this year to represent um the district at the the National Award uh conference. Um we're really proud of the work that the high school has done. Um this was an opportunity for us to
showcase not just the high school but the district as a whole. So, does that have to get on a pole outside or >> um they put the last two in the front for when people come in. >> So, it'll definitely be placed in an area that people can appreciate the work that's being done in the district. So,
>> yeah, again, we're we're going to continue to do everything we can to to elevate our district, but and then also to showcase to our community that that the district's working extremely hard. So, we're very proud of it. That's all I have. >> Thank you.
Um, Dr. Fair, your report this evening. >> Yeah, I too have a brief report, but uh some good things to update the board and the community on. So, we've recently attended some local educator job fairs at uh some colleges and universities.
So, we're in the midst of interviewing candidates for a range of positions for this upcoming fall. And uh one of those positions, as you all know, is the Moa High School principal ship. So uh just want to give everyone an update because
we know it's a critical position to fill. Uh we will be starting our Zoom introductory meetings with candidates uh tomorrow and Friday and we will have our first in-person interview uh next week. So, we received approximately 60
applications and we'll be interviewing on Zoom uh for an introductory conversation with approximately 20 candidates. So, we'll keep everyone updated on our progress. Uh the other piece is we have a retirement
uh Ro Mason uh Roseanne Mason uh over at GW. Uh so we'd like to recognize and celebrate uh Rose's work as she announces her retirement after 19 years of dedicated service to George Washington School. During her time here, she has been a passionate advocate for
both students and staff, serving as the MEA pair representative and collaborating with the administration to support the professional growth of all PAR professionals. Grow has always brought creativity and heart to the GW school community, finding meaningful ways to make learning joyful for
children. Uh, for example, uh, from organizing service projects that connect our students with local nursing homes, uh, the Thanksgiving centerpieces made by all GW students to creating memorable experiences like GW's Got Talent. Her
impact has been felt in countless ways. She has had a positive influence on countless students by supporting their learning journey. So, we wish Ro all the best in her retirement. And that's my report for this evening. Thank you. >> Thank you, Dr. Fair. Um, Miss Tamoa,
your report this evening. We have our another our second budget presentation. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> No, you don't need to. It's fine. Everyone sees it. Let me do a little lighting.
>> Okay. So, this evening is our second presentation of the three-part series on the 2627 preliminary budget. As a reminder, the preliminary budget has been submitted to the county and is currently under review as part of the approval process. So, during our last
presentation, we focused on the district's revenue sources and overall budget framework. Tonight we will shift our focus to the expenditure side of the budget. Specifically, we will be reviewing key areas including special education, benefits and operations,
enrollment, personnel, and transportation. The goal of this presentation is to provide a clear understanding of how resources are allocated across the district and the factors that are driving our expenditures for the upcoming school year.
On this slide, we're reviewing the major components of the district's special education expenditures. Special education is one of the largest areas of our budget as it includes a wide range of mandated services that we are required to provide based on students
individual needs. These costs include out of district special education tuition for students whose needs cannot be met within the district as well as in district programs including our prek through grade three autism programs in partnership with Bergen County special
services. We also provide a variety of related and ex extraordinary services such as speech, occupational and physical therapy as well as onetoone aids and specialized transportation depending on student needs. Additional
costs include the general administration of the child study team which is responsible for evaluations, case management, and ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements as well as salaries of our special education staff. The district also operates a half-day
preschool disabled program and provides an in district special education services for students from preK through grade 12. Currently, there are 518 special education students receiving services both in district and out of
district. For the 2627 school year, the total budgeted amount for special education is 24,44,727. Um, which accounts for 28.47% of the proposed operating budget, including out of district tuition and
transportation. This reflects both the level of services required to support our students as well as the district's commitment to meeting those needs while remaining compliant with all state and federal mandates. Apologize for that. So on this slide, we are reviewing added district tuition
costs for the 2627 school year. 113 students are budgeted to attend tuitionbased schools outside of Mawa. The total cost associated with these placements is $6,96,346 which represents 8.06%
of the operating budget. Of the 113 students, 65 are special education students. These placements are determined through each student's individualized education plan or IEP and are based on specific needs of the students when those needs cannot be met
within the district. These students may attend private schools, Bergen County special service programs, or other public school placements. The remaining 48 students include those attending Bergen County vocational technical schools andmies students serviced
through the department of corrections and students enrolled at Eastwood College and Bergen County Community College. Additionally, two of these students are shar Bergen County Technical Schools, meaning they attend part of their program outside of the district while still
remaining enrolled in Malawa. Overall, these costs reflect both mandated placements for special education students and educational opportunities for general education students such as vocational and specialized academic programs. On this slide, we are reviewing employee
benefits, which is another significant component of the district's expenditures. For the 2627 school year, total employee benefits are budgeted at 14,469,57, which represents 16.88%
of the operating budget. This reflects an increase of 1,544,131 or 11.95% compared to the prior year. Employee benefits consist of several contractual obligations including health prescription and dental coverage,
workers compensation, social security contributions, and pension payments through the public employees retirement system or PERS. With respect to PERS, the district is required to contribute an employee an employer share each year on behalf of the eligible employees.
While the contribution rate is set by the state, we do not receive the final certified amount at the time of budget development. As a result, we budget this line based on guidance and estimates provided by the state to ensure we are adequately prepared. Additional components include
tuition reimbursement for staff and accumulated six-time payouts. A large portion of this increase is driven by the rising health benefit costs which were discussed in the previous presentation. As mentioned, the district continues to experience significant
increases in medical, prescription, and dental coverage, which directly impact this portion of the budget. These costs are largely fixed and contractual in nature, meaning the district is required to fund them each year. As a result, careful planning and conservative budget
budgeting are essential to ensure we can meet these obligations while maintaining overall financial stability. On this slide, we are taking a closer look at the district's health benefits, specifically medical, prescription, and dental coverage. For the 2627 school
year, the total health benefits budget is 11,953,440, which represents 13.94% of the total operating budget. This reflects an overall increase of 15.69% compared to the prior year. When we break this down further, we are
projecting a 20% increase in medical benefits, a 40% increase in prescription benefits, and a 12% increase in dental benefits. These are significant increases and continue to be a major driver of the budget. It is important to note that while the individual
components are increasing at higher rates, the overall increase is lower at 15.69%. This is because the total reflects a blended average of all plans, enrollment levels, and cost and cost distribution across medical,
prescription, and dental coverage. In terms of employee contributions, we have budgeted 1,712,160, which represents 14.32% of total healthcare costs. Employee contributions vary depending on the health plan an employee is enrolled in. Employees
enrolled in the direct access 10 or 15 plans contri contribute under what is known as chapter 78 which is based on premium costs and is determined by state formulas and local collective bargaining agreements. These plans have been phased out for new employees. Employees hired
after July 2021 are required to enroll in the New Jersey Educators Health Plan or the Garden State Plan, which fall under chapter 44. These contributions are based on a percentage of an employes annual salary rather than the premium cost. The difference in contribution
structure structure between chapter 78 and chapter 44 is significant. As a result, we continue to see a shift each year with more employees enrolling in the New Jersey Educators Health Plan Garden plan and fewer remaining in the
direct access plan. While this transition is generally more affordable for employees, it does have a financial impact on the district as employers costs increase. This is another factor contributing to the rising cost of health benefits overall. As a reminder,
the district transitioned to a private medical plan in January of 2025. Our medical coverage is provided through Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey with plan options including direct access 10 or 15 as well as New Jersey Educators and Garden State Plans.
Prescription coverage is provided through Venard and dental coverage is provided through Delta Dental. As discussed previously, these benefits renew at different times. Medical renews in January on a calendar year while prescription and dental benefits renew
in July on a fiscal year which does add complexity to the budgeting process causing us to use historical tren trends to plan. In addition, the district continues to actively monitor plan utilization and work closely with our insurance broker to explore cost
containment strategies wherever possible. We are also very mindful of the impact these costs have on both the districts and the taxpayers and we make every effort to balance these considerations when building the budget. In terms of why these costs continue to
increase, there's no single factor. Health insurance rates are influenced by a variety of elements including overall market trends, carrier pricing decisions, and claim utilization. While we are fortunate to be out of the state health benefits plan, private carriers
also adjust their rates based on the f these factors and increases can still be significant. Overall, this slide reflects the continued upward trend in health benefit costs and reinforces the importance of careful planning and the use of tools such as health waiver to
help manage these increases. This next slide, we're reviewing student enrollment within the district. As of October 2025, total in district enrollment is 2,559 students in grades preK through 12. I do
want to clarify that this count reflects students attending MAWA schools within the district. Previously, we discussed special education totals and out of district placements. This enrollment figure represents only our IND district in district student population. This
data is based on our October ASSA submission which is a snapshot of student enrollment at that point in time. ASSA data is collected annually and is used by the state to track enrollment across districts. For reporting and budgeting purposes, we
rely on this data as our official enrollment count. ASSA data is also important because state aid allocations are based on these enrollment figures, making it a key factor in both our revenue and budget development process. Breaking this down further, we have
1,150 students in grades preK through 5, 601 students in grades 6 through 8, and 88 students in grades 9 through 12. Overall, this reflects a decrease of 51
students districtwide compared to the October 2024 enrollment count. Enrollment is an important factor in the budget process as it directly impacts staffing, class sizes, and resources um resource allocations across the district.
So on this slide, we are reviewing staffing costs, which represent the largest portion of the district's budget for the 2627 school year. A total of $41,645,68 is allocated for salaries, which represents 48.58%
of the operating budget. The district currently supports approximately $470 full-time equivalent or FTE staff members. As part of the budget development process, staffing levels were reviewed carefully and adjusted based on the district's needs, including
the decrease in enrollment that was discussed on the previous slide. Each year, staff staffing is thoroughly examined and budgeted to address the educational, curricular, and enrollment needs of the district as well as all instructional and support areas. Dr.
Tutoro and Dr. fair dedicate a significant amount of time working collaboratively with building principles, assistant principles, and supervisors to carefully review the staffing needs across the district. There's a great deal of time and thoughtful consideration that goes into
this process for the 2627 school year. A net decrease of six FTE positions is anticipated. It is important to note that these adjustments were made strategically and will not impact student programs or class sizes. This is
a sensitive area and staffing decisions are not taken lightly. We value all of our staff and approach these decisions with care and respect. Staffing costs are driven by our collective bargaining agreements which include the MAWA Education Association, the Mawa
Administrators Association, and the MAWA Supervisors Association. In addition, the district has independent contracts within central office and other areas which are also included in the total cost of salaries. Overall, this reflects a balanced
approach to staffing that aligns with enrollment trends while continuing to support the educational needs of our students. On this slide, we are reviewing transportation within the district. As of January 2026, the board formally
established a transportation committee. This allows for consistent oversight, improved con continuity in decision making, and a more structural approach to addressing transportation matters moving forward. The district currently provides
transportation for over 2,000 eligible in district students in accordance with the New Jersey statute and board policy. Under board policy, transportation is provided to all students in grades K through five. While students in grade K through five who live under the state
mileage threshold are not required to receive transportation. Mawa Public Schools provides courtesy busing to all students in these grade levels. For students in grades 6 through 8, transportation is provided for those who live more than two miles from their
school. And for students in grades 9 through 12, transportation is provided for those who live more than 2.5 miles from their school. In addition, more than 100 students are transported to out of district public and private schools, which includes both general education
and special education placements. In terms of efficiency, the district has a transportation efficiency rating of 126%. This exceeds both the state and county averages, which are 100% and reflects the district's continued efforts to
operate an efficient and cost-effective transportation system. Overall, this highlights the district's commitment to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation services while maintaining strong oversight and operational effectiveness.
Um, on this slide we're reviewing the transportation budget for the 2627 school year. The total transportation budget is 7,148,479 which represents 8.34% of the overall operating budget consistent with the prior year. This budget includes a
variety of components such as salaries, fuel, supplies, aid and loop payments, and contracted transportation services. Aid and loop payments are provided in situations where a student is eligible for transportation, but the district is
unable to provide a route in a cost-effective manner. In those cases, the district provides a payment to the family to help offset the cost of transporting their child. Our contracted transportation services consist primarily of the Scholastic Bus Company
as well as region one special education routes. Transportation services cover daily to and from school routes as well as field trips, athletics, summer school, and out of district transportation for both general education and special education students.
For the 2627 school year, existing transportation contracts have been renewed with an increase aligned to the consumer price index or CPI at a rate of 3.58%. Overall, the transportation budget reflects the district's continued effort
to maintain stable costs while providing comprehensive and reliable transportation services to meet the needs of our students. On this slide, we are reviewing additional expenditure categories within the budget that were not previously discussed. These categories represent
the day-to-day operations and support systems that allow the district to fund function effectively. Instructional support, curriculum, guidance, multimedia, and professional development total 4,347,31, which represents 5.07%
of the operating budget. These areas directly support classroom instruction, student services, and staff development. In the 2526 school year, this category was budgeted at 4,592,455. The decrease for 2627 is a result of
detailed review of historical trends in collaboration with school principles, administrative assistants, and supervisors to evaluate which services and supplies were truly needed. Through this process, we were able to reduce school-based budgets and align them more
closely with actual needs. School operations total 2,941,955 or $3.43% of the operating budget. District operations and technology total 3,120,322 representing 3.64% of the operating
budget. This includes general administration, central services and technology, all of which support districtwide functions and infrastructure. In the prior year, this category was budgeted at 3,59,326. The decrease reflects a thorough review
of technology needs, including an analysis of historical spending trends and discussions with the district's technology supervisor to identify services and supplies that were not necessary for the upcoming school year. Maintenance, custodial, grounds, and
security total 7,78,689 or 8.99% of the operating budget. These areas ensure that our facilities are safe, clean, and properly maintained for students and staff. In the prior year, this category was budgeted at 7
million210,168. The increase reflects rising costs associated with utilities, materials, and the continued maintenance and upkeep of of the district facilities. Finally, extracurricular activities and athletics total 1,559,660,
which represents 1.82% of the operating budget. These program these programs provide students with opportunities beyond the classroom and support a well-rounded educational experience. Overall, these adjustments reflect a thoughtful and detailed review of
expenditure across all oper operational areas, ensuring that the district is budgeting responsibly while continuing to support essential programs and services for students. So, as discussed, tonight's presentation focused on expenditures, including
special education, benefits and operations, enrollment, staffing, and transportation. Our final budget presentation will take place on April 29th. During that meeting, we will provide a full summary of the budget and move forward with the adoption of the 2627
school budget. So, we look forward to um continuing the discussion on next meeting. Thank you. Does anyone have questions? Thank you. >> Yeah, thank you. >> Any questions? More questions? Excellent
presentation, Mr. Thank you very much. Um, all right. Uh, my report Did you have anything else? >> No, that was >> okay. Did uh my report I I have my report this. Let's move on. Board committee reports. >> You got something?
>> Sure. >> Board committee report. >> Yeah. Board of Education leads on a town. >> I love it. >> I'm happy to report this uh this past Monday's meeting the town council resolution of recognition for wrestler Lindsay Cunningham for all of her
success. um including this season and all the great great things she's accomplished. It was nice. All of her coaches and family were there. >> See that resolution read in the record. So that's all. >> Thank you very much. Um
forward member remarks. Mr. Coplin. >> Uh missed the last meeting. So I just want to take the opportunity to send some thanks out uh regarding the referendum. I know a lot of you guys have had the opportunity publicly to make some statements about it. I have not. So, I'm going to take a minute or two.
>> Um, I had the privilege of having a front row seat to the last several months of the planning and um implementation of our strategy for the for the referendum and a lot of thanks um are deserved. Uh, our admin team led
by Dr. Far and Dr. Duro did an incredible job. Uh, put in a lot of hours. Um the efforts were were obvious at the polls. Um what was it? 21% turnout. Uh
Mr. D and I attended a couple sessions at in Atlantic City and those districts were talking about 13 14 15%. So I think the 21% turnout, as low as it may sound, was actually an incredible turnout for our community. And I think that has a
lot to do with the efforts that our admin team uh put in and the time that they put in. Um also the team at LBC, Laura Bishop, uh they went above and beyond for us. Uh Rose uh and her entire team did an incredible job, spent a lot
of time with us, held our hands, uh made the changes when some of them may have sounded a little nutty, uh but they were right there and they she did it with a smile on her face even though she probably was cursing me out afterwards. Uh but it was uh it was an it was an
interesting experience throughout the whole process. I I appreciate it. What the the thing I walked away with is that uh we have a very very strong team here in district. Um the central office admin team a lot of times gets the credit but our district admin team came out in
force uh for a lot of the events. Uh they were asked the principles and supervisors were asked to come out and I cannot thank them enough for being there. uh they were um it was an impressive impressive display of support for what we as a board were trying to push through. So, and then to the
residents, thank you for coming out and vote. Um we heard you loud and clear. Uh we know which direction we're going to go in and what we have to do and appreciate the support in question one. Obviously, I was disappointed that we didn't get question two, but that's fine. We'll we'll go from there. Um but again, just just thank you to everyone.
Thank you to the board and your support. Um like I said, it was a heavy lift. Uh but uh we made it through. We got over the finish line and um hey, we got question one. So congratulations to all of us. So thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Cofflin.
>> All right, let's Oh, >> just a quick >> Oh, Mr. Gallow. Um I had an opportunity Dennis's office allowed me to um come in for a few hours to look at nontenure reviews and take a look at um our uh staff evaluation process as um I've done
this for a number of years now. The process and the systems that are in place in our district uh get better and better every year. The reviewers are incredibly consistent in terms of the type of feedback they give to our employees. It's a very effective tool to
get out the message and the focus that we want our district to be moving in in terms of alignment with our strategic plan. Um the reviews are very thorough. They're comprehensive. It it then I I
wouldn't even know how to estimate how many hours are spent in the review time itself. that is observing uh educators in in practice but also the followup on writing the reports having the follow on discussions with the educator who was
reviewed. Um it's a very in-depth process. Um but it's consistently effectively and authentically done in our district. It's an incredible tool um for our our team to keep on pushing forward um with the things that we want
to accomplish that are articulated in our strategic plan. Um and it's just remarkable uh that we do this with with the fidelity that we do and it's uh thanks to all the supervisors, administrators uh who participate in
doing it and just the high level they do it. So >> thank you Mr. Gallow. Anyone else? All right, let's take uh old business 17. We have A, B, C, and D this evening
