3.6 OPPOSING DELAY IN TRANSMISSION OF QUARTERLY PROPERTY TAX
REVENUE TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 3902, currently pending in the State Legislature, would
authorize the Department of Community Affairs to permit municipalities to delay the
quarterly transmission of property tax revenues to school districts during gubernatorial-
declared emergencies; and
*RAA Salaries and Rates Subject to Negotiations 28 4/27/20 Regular Meeting Agenda
WHEREAS, New Jersey's public schools are highly dependent on property tax revenue to
support education programs; and
WHEREAS, on average, local property taxes constitute close to 60% of public school
revenue, with the percentage even greater in a significant number of districts; and
WHEREAS, a delay in payments from municipalities would result in a financial crisis for
school districts, seriously disrupting the educational process—and bringing it to a halt; and
WHEREAS, although public school buildings are closed during the current health
emergency, the education of our students is taking place through remote learning and home
instruction; and
WHEREAS, continued timely transmission of school property taxes is critical for the
education process to continue without interruption; and
WHEREAS, even though municipalities are designated as the authorities to collect property
taxes, these taxes are levied for specific purposes—e.g., municipal, school, county, fire
district—and these obligations must continue to be met; and
WHEREAS, as currently written, A-3902, which is intended to ease a financial burden on
municipalities, would place a severe strain on school districts and the students and families
that they serve; and
WHEREAS, the Roselle Board of Education recognizes the impact of the current public
health emergency on the state and local governments, as well as local school districts, but
believes this legislation would worsen the situation for our communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Roselle Board of Education urges
the State Senate and the Governor to oppose A-3902; and be it further
RESOLVED, that this resolution be delivered to Governor Phil Murphy, State Senate
President Stephen M. Sweeney, Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin; and the Union’s
Legislative District’s representatives in the state Senate and General Assembly; and be
it further
RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be sent to the New Jersey School Boards
Association.
3.7 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE SAFETY GRANT FOR 2020-2021

Whereas, the program is intended to provide funds toward plant safety, building security,
safety equipment and communication devices; and
*RAA Salaries and Rates Subject to Negotiations 29 4/27/20 Regular Meeting Agenda
Whereas, the ERIC North Safety Grant Committee has developed a formula to equitably
allocate grant funds to qualifying ERIC North members, and
Whereas, it has been determined that the Roselle School District may qualify for a grant in
the amount of $22,095.00 for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
3.8 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE UNION COUNTY EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
COMMISSION ADJUST TRANSPORATION CONTRACTS 10% DISCOUNT
DURING 19-20 SCHOOL YEAR DURING STATEWIDE PANDEMIC
Be it resolved that the Roselle Board of Education (the “District”) resolves to continue
contracted transportation payments, at a 10% discount, to the Union County Educational
Services Commission (“UCESC”) for the 19-20 school year during the statewide period of
emergency closure of all schools even in the absence of services rendered. The UCESC will
accordingly make payment to the transportation providers for the District. The District
understands that such payments do not guarantee that the transportation provider will be
able to resume transportation when schools re-open. While such payments are prohibited by
NJSA 18A:19-3 which only allows payment for services rendered, the District is making
such payments pursuant to section 18006 of the CARES Act.
Let it be known that this resolution is put forth in the spirit that continued payments will
make the resumption of transportation more likely than if payments were terminated and
that transportation of students is so essential to re-opening schools that this unusual measure
must be taken.
3.9 RESOLUTION FOR ADOPTION OF THE TENTATIVE 2020-2021 SCHOOL
BUDGET

school year (July 1 through June 30); and
