- Meeting Overview:
In a recent Fairfield School Board meeting, members voted on several issues including the handling of Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) cases, the approval of a new network server for Stevenson School, and updates on ongoing contract negotiations. The board approved the HIB confirmations, ensuring adherence to the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights (ABR), and sanctioned the replacement of Stevenson School’s network server.
Another item was the approval of a contract with JCT Solutions for the replacement of the network server at Stevenson School.
Contract negotiations emerged as a critical ongoing issue. The board acknowledged that they have reached an impasse in negotiations and will engage a mediator to assist in reaching a resolution. This process is vital to securing the working conditions and compensation for district employees.
Additionally, the board discussed other routine business matters, including personnel changes, curriculum revisions, school year calendar adjustments, and facilities upgrades. They approved extended summer school appointments, maternity leave extensions, and various employments and resignations.
The board also approved the revision of the 2024-2025 school calendar to avoid conflicts with nearby West Essex school events, and they reported perfect scores in mandated reviews of district programs and policies.
Updates on the district’s infrastructure included the purchase of office furniture, the reallocation of costs for a moving company, and various maintenance projects. These included the replacement of a univent in Church Hill School and the installation of new windows to ensure the building’s integrity and safety.
In the public comments section, attention was drawn to a forthcoming survey from Tiny Treasures about busing and before and after care, with a request for timely responses to inform board decisions.
The next meeting was announced to be held on June 13th, 2024, and will include both public and executive sessions.
