to be used for transportation of our fourth grade students to the historical sites in Warren and which appears for acceptance on tonight's agenda as item B5. And also a thank you to all the administration and staff that continue to pursue grant awards. Um they take a
lot of time. They're worth it. And this um the visit to the historical sites in Warren is also worth it. It's wonderful. Appearing on tonight's agenda is item C5 is the approval of the retirement of Mr. Sarah Mula. Mr. Sarah Mula has taught
music to our students since 2001. Uh the board is very grateful for the 25 years that Mr. Sarah Mua has devoted to nurturing the love of music in Warren's students. I rarely offer a personal note, but I have a chist who continues
to play to this day because of the strings program in our district. So, um, best wishes on a wonderful retirement to Mr. Sarah, Dr. Migle. >> Thank you, Mrs. Z. I do have a few things tonight. Um, first, a couple
student shoutouts. Uh, this was in my board update last week and we've recognized it in social media, but I think it's good to call out here as well. Warren Middle School students, Zoe and Sonia, who um last week attended the New Jersey ASCD Heart of the Matter Summit, which was a educator
professional learning opportunity. Uh, they were two of six students who served on a student panel. They were the only middle school students. uh they did a phenomenal job and their topic was uh the importance of feeling a sense of belonging at your school and the ways that students can help contribute to a
positive overall climate and culture in their school. So um kudos to them. Uh I also shared that an an outstanding achievement by a group of our middle school eighth grade students uh who earned first place in the New Jersey State Bar Foundation's annual law adventure contest. Uh they were first
out of more than 80 groups that submitted. Uh basically they had to come up with an original case that looked at social media's impact on adolescent mental health. Uh and they were they brought that forward and now they will have the opportunity to present their case live and in person in front of 200 people at an event in New Brunswick.
Quite an accomplishment and a reflection both of the students and their hard work and the support of their adviser, their first year adviser, uh Miss Mrs. Christine Sarate at War Middle School. Uh and then I'd like to turn everyone's attention to item C10 on the agenda.
So C10 is a transfer change in assignment. So I'm going to provide you the information that will fill in the TBA uh information on there and then share a little bit of additional background information. So the name is Mrs. Allison Tua currently the principal of Central School. So the from is
central school principal and the rest is there. So this is a recommendation from me to the board to transfer Mrs. Suja from principal of central school to curriculum director effective with the beginning of the 2627 school year which is July 1st uh 2026.
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge and congratulate Mrs. Tua on that transition. It's a well-earned opportunity and reflects the strong leadership she has demonstrated at Central School. We are excited about the impact she will continue to have in the district now at the district level. And at the same time, I want to acknowledge
that any leadership transition, no matter how positive, can create a sense of uncertainty within a school community. Want to reassure the board and through you our broader community that Central School is strong and stable and the process uh for hiring the next principal of Central School is designed
to build on that strength. As I shared with our staff at Central this afternoon, and I will follow up in a letter to our Central School families tomorrow morning, we will begin the search for the next principal immediately. And by immediately, I mean tomorrow, March 24th, the position will
be posted and uh the timeline allows us to bring forward a recommended candidate for the board at its May 11th board meeting. That's our intention, which would allow us to have the person in place for the beginning of the summer, which while students are not here, is exceptionally important for a building
leader uh for getting ready for opening a school in a school year. The process itself is structured to be thorough but also efficient. We will have multiple stages of interviews. There will be opportunities for the candidates to directly engage with our staff and students at central school. There will
be students involved in focus groups that will actually meet with finalist candidates so that student voice is an important part of the process. Our candidates will spend time in our classrooms so that we can see them uh interacting with the people who make Central School what it is on a
day-to-day basis. that allows us to assess not only what we can see on paper and in an interview with adults, but what how the candidates actually think and observe and lead when they're in a real school setting. Equally important, we will include meaningful opportunities for stakeholder input. So staff and
parents both uh central school staff and parents that is will be receiving invitations tomorrow to share feedback through surveys and staff members will also have an optional opportunity for in-person feedback uh to help us with what are the characteristics, leadership
qualities, experiences they believe we need in the next principal at Central School. All that input will help inform the process and ensure we are identifying a leader who is a strong fit for central but also to complement the overall leadership profile of the the district team as it uh as a whole. I
will obviously keep the board updated in my weekly updates as the process moves forward and I look forward to bringing a recommendation for your consideration in May. >> Thank you Dr. Mingle. We have a presentation this evening. Um Mr. Mr. Hegel, our business administrator, will
be presenting the tentative 2026 2027 school budget. I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna hold the microphone to make sure uh I'm heard remotely. I know that's been a problem in the past. So, this thing's too short for me. I'm actually just going to move
it right out of the way. Um, good evening. Thank you for this opportunity to present the uh 2026 2027 tenative budget. Before beginning tonight's presentation, I'd like to personally thank the Finance
Operations and Security Committee for their due diligence with the preparation of this year's budget. The committee met multiple times to provide feedback to the district administration. The committee includes Patricia Jean Zan, Richard Mulfetta,
Ryan Valentino, and Kevin Brodzb. The budget is a financial representation of our district's priorities as outlined in the district's mission statement. The proposed budget puts students needs first and prepares the district for anticipated future growth of enrollment
while also addressing pressing budget needs in several areas that are outside of the board of education's control. The budget development process spans the entire school year. In the fall, budget requests are gathered from our budget managers, which includes the five
principles and four department heads, special services, curriculum, operations, and information technology. Staff needs are assessed and preliminary requests are evaluated. The committee gets the first draft of the budget in January and provides feedback during
both the January and February committee meetings. The feedback along with state aid entitlements is used to provide a final draft in March. At the March meeting, the proposed tax levy amount is finalized. Tonight, the board will approve the preliminary budget for review by the county office of
education. On April 20th, so mark this down. The committee will hold the public budget forum right here in this room. The public the budget hearing the public budget hearing is scheduled for April 27th with budget adoption on the same night. That process will set the tax
levy amount for the new school year. So as we get into the specifics of the budget, we will first start on the expenditure side of the budget. To do so, we will focus on the areas that drive budget growth for the 2627 budget. The key driver is health care. The
year-over-year increase in the school employees health benefit program from 25 to 26 was 39, excuse me, 31.9%. This dramatic increase created a double whammy for the budget this year in that
this increase was not included, at least not at that level, in the 2526 budget. Therefore, the change yeartoyear includes an adjustment to the actual 2026 premium plus an additional adjustment to account for another
increase that we anticipate in January of 2027. Because of that, this one line item is increasing by over $3 million this year alone, which is a 33.6% increase. While very stark this year, health care
increases have been a trend now for many years. Over the past five years and since the adjustments made with chapter 44, our healthc care budget has increased by 120%. From 5.5 million to this year's proposed
budget of 12 million. This chart shows the exponential growth of health care over the last five years. Healthc care, while critical for a discussion on this year's budget, is not the only driver. Other drivers
include enrollment, increases to salary and other wage spending areas, expanding special ed costs, the continued implementation of our capital plan, increases to transportation cost, and the premium adjustment to other
non-healthcare related insurance needs. Because of the anticipated increase to the budget, the administration got to work to curb the impact of the budget drivers on district taxpayers. Specifically, this budget reduces six teaching positions through attrition,
taking advantage of 2627 classroom projections as well as other instructional synergies. These changes will include programming changes in areas such as Spanish. Continued flat budgeting by our nine district budget managers. This is a
practice that continues even after an acrosstheboard 10% reduction several years ago. And finally, aggressively and continuously pursuing lowerc cost options in all areas. Recent examples include a software system integration to
eliminate an entire software vendor, smart capital purchasing and implementation of the district's capital plan, the change of our phone vendor this year, and a copier replacement and vendor change that saved significantly. In the case of the copier replacement,
this initiative was completed with the support of the Warren Township Committee and the allocation of pilot funding last school year. While including the expense reductions identified on the prior slide, the proposed budget maintains important
school community values, including class-siz guidelines, basic skills and gifted supports, summer enrichment for reading and math, courtesy busing, and a continuation of child study and mental health expansions that were put in place
several years ago. Here's a numerical summary of the 2627 expenditure budget. It shows that increases to salary and wages, the largest part of the budget, are increasing by approximately 4%. Healthc
care is increasing by 33% as discussed earlier. Our outofd district special education costs which in this case includes both tuition as well as transporting students that are out of place out of placement district district are increasing by 12.6%.
It also includes the reduction of six positions which adds $660,000 back to the budget. Now that we've talked about expenses, the question becomes, how do we pay for all of these changes? The board really has four areas of revenue, which we will
discuss individually. The first area is the tax levy, which can be adjusted without voter approval in four ways. The first is the enrollment adjustment. Because of an increase in enrollment, the district is educating more students this year than it did last year. The law
allows the board to take an enrollment adjustment to account for this increase. In 2627, this enrollment adjustment is projected to be about $800,000. The second is the inflation adjustment. Each year, the board can increase the
post enrollment adjusted tax levy by 2%. This is often referred to as the 2% tax levy cap. Because the district has an enrollment adjustment, our inflation adjustment is just slightly more than that 2% and
almost $1 million. The third is the healthcare adjustment. Each year, the board can take an adjustment to account for the extraordinary increase in health care. This year, as discussed in detail, the health care increase is extraordinarily extraordinary
and amounts to $2.7 million. This increase of 5.49% 49% is the for to the tax levy is the baseline amount for the 2627 tax levy increase. And finally the final area is bankked cap. Each year the
board can adjust the tax levy using unused adjustments from prior from the prior three budgets. The bank the bank capped adjustment for this year in 2627 is roughly 8 thou $800,000. So, this slide sort of sums all of that
up and the board and it shows that the board can raise the 2627 tax levy by 5.29 million and that's without voter approval. This would be a levy increase of 10.79%. Tonight's proposal does not do this.
Instead, the proposed tax levy increase includes the entire healthc care adjustment of 5.49%. to that. The proposed tax levy includes an increase of 2.99% for an increase for an increase in all other spending. That
includes the increases to salary and wages, enrollment, transportation, and special education. When you take those two components and add them together, that that le the levy increase totals 8.48%. It is important to point out without the
staff reductions identified earlier in the presentation, the proposed tax levy would be more than 9%. The second revenue area is state aid. This summary, this is a summary of the state aid that will be received during the 2627 school year. This is as
anticipated and it shows an increase of 6% year-over-year. The third revenue area is other revenue and it's the smallest area of revenue that the board has because it's basically made up of all the other various revenue streams that the board
will see which include interest, tuition, transportation fees and other area other small areas of miscellaneous revenue. The final budget area in the revenue area is the use of reserves.
The 2627 budgets incluses includes the use of prior year surplus which is 587,000. This is consistent with the board's um um fund balance use policy that's been adopted early on in my tenure here and has been readopted by the board each
year. We also use capital reserve to fund the elements of the capital plan that are in the 2627 budget. And we're we're and for this one year only, we're using a res a maintenance reserve withdrawal of $118,800 to help fund the district's required
maintenance expenses. This chart is a numerical summary of the 2627 revenue budget. It shows an increase of the tax levy of 8.48% 48% as discussed, an increase in state aid of 6% also as discussed and a small
reduction in other revenue. It should be noted that this this numbers these numbers here match back to the expenditure budget which means that we had the proposed budget balances. So, with that introduction on the on the larger elements of the uh of the budget,
let's hone in on a tax levy. Using the most recent assessment information, the assessment of the average home in Warren Township increased by $52,000 last year. When these changes in assessments are applied against next year's tax levy needs, the average tax bill will go up
$487. Please note that because commercial assessments increased greater than residential assessments, the actual impact on residential taxpayers is far less than the tax levy increase. So to be specific about that, based on the
assessment information provided by the township, we anticipate that residential owners will see an increase in their real estate tax bills associated to the K8 bit district of 6.25% which is lower than the increase discussed in this presentation.
It's also important to point out that the Warren Township School District does not have long-term debt. Therefore, unlike most school districts, our tax levy that is presented here tonight is an all-in number and does not include a debt service component because we do not
have debt. The next area I want to talk about is bank cap. Bankap represents the board of education's decision to maintain a tax levy below the maximum allowable amount. These monies representing the difference between the allowable tax levy and the
budget's actual tax levy remain available to the board for three years after the year in which they are created. Because the district did not use all of the allowable adjustments over the last three years, the district has accumulated significant bank cap which will be available for next year's
budget. Specifically looking at this slide, next year we will have bank cap that will be expiring in the amount of about $500,000. And then bank cap for this budget that will be available for the next three years that's being created this year is $325,000.
When you put that together, the amount of bank cap available next year will be $825,000, which is slightly more than this year's amount. So, with all that information, what are our next steps? Tonight, the board will approve the preliminary budget for
review by the county office of education. On April 20th, the committee, the finance committee will hold a public budget forum. And then the budget hearing is scheduled for April 27th with budget adoption on the same night. Both the April 20th and the April 27th
meetings are opportunities for the public to uh to discuss the budget with either the finance committee on April 20th or the board on April 27th. That concludes my presentation for tonight. Uh I will return to my seat
where I am most comfortable and also would be happy to take your questions. >> Um Mr. Dr. Hegel, before you leave the podium, we became aware of the 2026 premium increase in health care in what
uh late summer, early fall of 2025 >> around September. That's right. >> And the finance committee undertook certain steps to try to address whether or not alternatives to the state plan existed. Could you explain a little bit what was done there? >> Sure. So the um the board has a health
health care consultant that it engages annually and has for quite a while to help us with these health health care decisions. So what we did at that time is we asked uh our health care consultant for assistance in getting our claims history. So our claims history is
a history of what our enrolles and our health care plans are expending on health care. We then took that information and asked our healthcare consultant to ask other private insurers, not the state plan, if they
could identify um private insurers that'd be interested in taking on our book of business. I believe we shopped it to eight different groups and because of our claims experience, each of those groups declined declined to ensure us.
So what that means is we're then left in the plan of last resort which in our case is the state plan because frankly our claims experience is such where for every dollar we pay out in premium the claims experience showed that we are the insurance company on our behalf is
paying $1.17 in claims which means despite the cost of health care we're getting a good deal. >> Thank you Mr. Hegel. >> Now I'm gonna go to my seat. You you may although you may still get questions but yes. >> All right. >> I'll I'll wait till you get back to your
seat. >> No, you can take that down. >> Yeah. Open it up to the board for comments and questions on the tenative 2627 budget. So, I just want to say to the public, um, we've been forecasting now for about
six months that we expected a challenging budget year because of healthcare costs. And um I can't stress enough how hard the board of education and the finance committee and the business administrator and his staff have worked to
recognize that this is um this is a tax increase that hasn't been seen in this community for a very long time. Um that which we could control, we tried to control. Um the health insurance cost
is out of our control. So if there are no other comments or questions on the tenative budget. Okay, let's move on then to uh reports of board members appointed to external assignments. I don't have nobody's alerted me to any. So okay, moving on to
committee reports. Curriculum technology committee jump ball. Is that Mr. Tour or Mr. Brozby's? Who's talking? It's going to be Mr. Tour. >> Okay. So um reporting out on a meeting an initial
meeting we had on March the 18th reconven a re recalerized meeting I can't think of the right word. So we covered two topics uh NJ Sky and a follow-up discussion from the February the 2nd meeting regarding the district phone policy. Uh for your
information, both items align to the section of the district's strategic plan covering strengthening mental strengthening mental health, safety and support, enhanced student wellness, security and social and emotional development uh and fostering a positive, inclusive and secure school climate. So
I'll start with NJ Sky. Mrs. Lange presented an overview of NJ Sky and the committee discussed participation rates which is high for students and staff as you'd expect lower for parents and guardians. how the administrators and staff use the data to make changes, what these adjustments
look like in the classroom or school setting and the benefits and limitations of the survey instrument and its results. The committee discussed potential adjustments for the future including and this is probably the biggest one uh adjusting when it's presented to either April and May so
that we would add the newest results and that would allow discussion versus the prior year and greater opportunity for and timely input from the committee. Moving on to the district phone policy. Just as a quick recap and reminder, Mr.
Weinstein there shared the background of how the current policy came to be, concerns with its implementation and opportunities for further strengthening. Uh the administration shared the background of where the existing policy came from, the experience of its implementation and enforcement. Administration discussed the potential
of using the castle survey data as well to inform future discussions. Since that meeting are preceding the follow-up discussion last week, curriculum committee members and Dr. Mingle followed up with their respective peers and constituents. The
policy and regulation 556 as well as the revised 2026 guidance for schools on student use of internet enabled devices were also circulated for review. And then I'm going to come to the meeting itself, but I think it's important to flag that Todd had a last minute fire drill and was unable to make the
meeting. Uh that said when we arrived um shortly thereafter you know we were quarre and we also had a guest from the uh uh from the middle school there. So we decided to move ahead with the full agenda. At the meeting itself we conducted a
fairly lengthy discussion that primarily covered the policy and the regulation feedback feedback regarding the vote when they were originally passed feedback from Warren Middle School's management team represented by Ms. Meninger the assistant principal. So just going through that in reverse
order, the Warren Middle School feedback is that thanks to the support of the board and the passing of the policy and regulation, the school's ability to manage the use of an internet enabled devices are significantly improved. They're now able to do so pretty effectively with very little if any student and parental push back, which is
a significant change from the situation they're in before these policies were adopted. The question was raised regarding the final discussion and voting when it took place originally because neither myself or Mr. Brosby's was around at the time
it predates us. Um primary concern was was it robust was their consensus as well as is it working today. uh the feedback we got that it was unanimously voted upon as yes and then the final thing was the discussion around I guess our assessment in the room of the policy
itself and any accompany and the company of regulation and are they working as intended subsequently our recommendation to the board is that no further action is required specifically by the curriculum committee >> thank you Mr. tour.
The finance operations and security committee met Monday, March 6th. This was the uh final meeting regarding the tenative 2627 budget at which the um finance committee did move the budget to full consideration tonight and adoption
as item B6. I want to take a minute to thank Mr. Hegel, the business office, all the budget managers, the finance committee, specifically Mr. Mfetta, Mr. Valentino, Mr. Bratzby's, and Mr. Otto. Let's not forget him. He was here. Yeah.
Um, and all of the board members. Um, the finance committee does a lot to try to pave the way for information to make its way to the full board, but they all give of their time to for um in-person meetings with the business administrator um to go over all the budget items.
every single member of this board of education takes the finance part of this very seriously and gives a lot of time and attention to that. So, thank you for that. Um, I also want to remind everyone of something Mr. Hegel said. There is a public meeting of the committee that
will take place April 20th, 4:30 here in at the middle school. And this differs from a board of education meeting in that we are the we are the committee. We're not a quorum. You can come in, you can talk to us, we do take questions, we will give you answers. So, if you want to discuss um the budget um with the
committee, April 20th, 4:30 here at the middle school is your opportunity to do that. Also, uh discussed at the finance committee meeting um was the bid for the ALT flooring, which came in $31,970
under budget. Um that is on the agenda tonight is item B8 for approval with the recommendation of the committee. Also discussed was the PA system strobe light bid uh which came in $394,183
over budget. Um and that is on the agenda tonight uh for um approval as item B7 with the committee's uh recommendation. The committee did um hear from the business office that despite the fact that there uh this item
came in over budget that the overall referendum projects when taken as a whole with bids already received and bids anticipated, we still believe that all contemplated projects will come in at or under the referendum budget. Um
there was just an update to the finance committee about um meetings between the township committee and the board of education uh liaison. Uh this has also been reported out by the township committee at their last meeting. Uh we always uh really look forward to the opportunity to meet with the
representatives of the township committee and our um further commitment to collaborate, cooperate with them and and to you know look for opportunities for enhanced communication. So, we thank them for um joining us at that meeting.
Again, the next meeting is April 20th. Moving on, personal negotiations and communications. Miss Keller. Yep. We met on March 6th. We reviewed uh organization charts for our staff
members and discussed which personnel are within the WTEA, which are within the WTAAA, and which have no affiliation with an association. We discussed our communication strategies development and board member outreach efforts and how
we'll likely need to increase this work um as it relates to planning for growth as we have updates there. and we discussed succession planning as it relates to the curriculum department and the related action plan for backfilling Mrs. Juja which Dr. Mingle covered in
his remarks. >> Thank you, Miss Keller. This is the first opportunity for public commentary. This is the first of two opportunities. I ask that everyone interested in addressing the board please raise your hand or use the raise your hand feature
on Zoom. Each speaker is asked to limit their comments to three minutes. Please begin your comments by stating your name and address and by directing your comments to the presiding officer. Please know that the board of education welcomes and encourages input from the public. Public commentary is intended as
an opportunity for the board to receive such input, but is not intended as a Q&A session. Following public commentary, if appropriate, the presiding officer or the superintendent uh may provide some response. So, for this first opportunity, I'm going to
look first to the audience. Seeing no one, um, I'm going to look to the Zoom audience. Do we have anyone in our Zoom audience that would like to address the board of education on agenda topics? Going once. Seeing none, do I have a motion to close

which is the preliminary budget. Just to echo Mrs. 's comments. Thank you to school business administrator Chris Hegel and the entire business office team, all of our budget managers and our staff who um as you heard in the presentation are, you know, doing their part as well to make sure that we hold
the line as best we can under extremely challenging situation related to healthcare. So, thank you Mr. Hegel for your efforts. There's a lot that goes on, as you can all imagine, outside of the public eye to get to a place where we're ready to adopt a preliminary budget. And then for anybody who joined us after my opening comments, I just
want to reiterate that item C10, the blanks that say TVA are the appointment of Mrs. Allison Tua, currently the principal of Central School, uh transfer, I should say, from principal of Central School to curriculum director as of July 1st.
>> Thank you, Dr. Mingle. Does any board member have any item for board consideration they wish to pull for a separate conversation or vote? See none. Miss color. >> Motion to approve items for board consideration A1, B1 through B8,
