- Meeting Overview:
The latest Mullica School Board meeting was marked by the celebration of outstanding educators and staff, with four individuals recognized for their exceptional contributions to the district. School support staff member Michelle Bontes, Educational Services professional Alison Bell, elementary school teacher Dawn Shapino, and middle school teacher Chrissy Leonetti received honors for their dedication and achievements.
Michelle Bontes was awarded the School Support Staff of the Year, praised for her adaptability and constant willingness to support her students, especially after transitioning to a self-contained classroom. Alison Bell, recognized as the Educational Services Professional of the Year, was commended for her collaborative approach and innovative methods as a speech pathologist, which have benefited her students.
In financial matters, the Board discussed the audit report with no findings of concern, although it was noted that due to increased cash resources from COVID-19 funding, there were suggestions to manage the excess funds appropriately. The Board is maintaining a stable tax rate and surplus funds, with a slight decrease in required maintenance costs due to the near completion of a wastewater project. The Board also highlighted the receipt of a $3,500 grant from Atlanticare for health initiatives, and the upcoming pilot of new ELA programs, waiting for teacher feedback to determine the best fit for students.
