Furthermore, the Board discussed a new initiative focusing on educational support for students. The County Manager introduced a tutoring program aimed at aiding students from fifth to eighth grade who have fallen behind academically, particularly due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will also create job opportunities for local high school and college students who will serve as tutors.

The Department of Parks and Recreation announced a summer initiative offering swimming lessons for children and seniors, which received an enthusiastic response from the community. The classes, to be held at the Rahway outdoor pool, were filled almost immediately upon announcement.

The meeting proceeded with discussions on various resolutions and initiatives, including an amendment to the Consolidated Action Plan for additional funds for a project in Plainfield and an employment program for at-risk youth during the summer. The Department of Finance presented fourteen resolutions for consideration, while other departments, including Human Services, Engineering, Public Works, and Facilities Management, discussed their respective agenda items.
