27. RESOLUTION TO APPROVE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES COMMISSION OF MORRIS

COUNTY JOINT TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT 2013-2014

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this 1st day of July, 2013 between The Board of Education of Roselle

Borough, whose address is 710 Locust Street, Roselle, NJ 07203 (hereinafter referred to as the “Board” or

the “District”), and the Board of Directors of Educational Services Commission of Morris County whose

post office address is “Box 1944, Morristown, New Jersey 07962 (hereinafter referred to as the

Commission), pursuant to official action taken by the Board to approve this Agreement at a duly advertised

Board meeting held on _August 26, 2013_. In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants

contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. The Commission agrees to transport public, nonpublic and special education pupils on established routes as

assigned in writing by the Board, for each day that school is in session during the 2013/2014 school year;


28

2. In consideration of the performance of paragraph 1, the Board agrees to pay the Commission the total sum of

estimated costs, including administrative fees in accordance with the provisions of the payment policy

established by the Board of Directors and distributed to every Board:

Advance payment of 10% of the previous year’s final education cost by August 30th and monthly

payments in full for actual transportation costs incurred from September through June. Any credit

balance due to the district will be refunded;

3. It is understood that any change in the number of children being transported on each route or changes in

mileage during the course of the year will necessitate a reapportionment and adjustment costs. Apportioned

costs also include an aide, if assigned to the vehicle. A personal or health aide will be billed to the district

placing the request;

4. The Commission accepts no responsibility for assuring a pupil’s use of arranged transportation or attendance

on an established route. Once assigned to a route, the monthly billings for the pupil’s reserved seat will

continue until the Commission is otherwise notified, in writing, to delete the pupil from the assigned route;

5. The Board agrees that all requests sent to the Commission are for the purpose of making arrangements for the

transportation of the pupil(s) referred, and not for the purpose of obtaining pricing information. If the Board

or its administrators wishes to obtain pricing information, it must be so identified, in writing, thirty (30) days

prior to the date that the requested transportation is to start;

6. The Commission agrees to process Private School Transportation Applications for aid in lieu of transportation

for those nonpublic school pupils who are unable to be placed on established or competitively bid routes.

This process includes bi-annual certification of pupil attendance and preparation of payment vouchers. Such

payments are to be made by the Board directly to the parents of eligible pupils. The Board agrees to pay the

Commission an administrative fee for processing aid in lieu of transportation payment vouchers in accordance

with the rates established by the Board of Directors of the Commission;

7. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this agreement shall be without force and effect until

such time it has been approved by the Superintendent of Schools of the County of Morris.
