Carlisle Area SD - General Board Meeting - 06/25/2026
Published: Jun 25, 2026
Board Approves Personnel, Expenditures, Contracts, and Assistant Superintendent's Contract
The board approved the minutes of the previous meeting [cite: 25] and the superintendent's personnel report, which included various appointments, tenure contracts, and other personnel changes [cite: 28, 35]. District expenditures for May 2026, totaling $7,563,969.03, were approved [cite: 69]. Numerous contracts, primarily renewals for software, licenses, and maintenance agreements, were also approved [cite: 70]. The board approved a new contract for the Assistant Superintendent, Michael Gojoy, for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031 [cite: 82, 86]. The board authorized administration to approve and execute change orders for the middle school project up to $25,000 and for any other purpose up to $3,000, with all change orders to be reported monthly [cite: 105, 106, 107].
Moreland PTO Raises Concerns About Equitable Distribution of Car Show Parking Fundraisers
During the second public comment period, a representative from the Moreland PTO expressed frustration with the management of car show parking at Hamilton Elementary, which is held on district property. The Moreland PTO alleges that the Hamilton PTO unfairly retains the highest-earning shows and distributes less profitable ones inequitably among other elementary schools. Concerns were raised about transparency, equity, and adherence to district policy regarding facility use. The Moreland PTO requested the board direct administration to review the assignment process, clarify authority over district property use, and ensure future assignments are handled through a transparent, fair, and equitable district-level process [cite: 333, 336, 340, 346, 354, 355, 368, 370].
Board Approves ELA Curriculum Revisions, Text Adoptions, and Change Order Policy
The board approved revisions to the grades 7-12 English Language Arts curriculum, emphasizing vertical alignment, in-class reading, authentic writing, grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and listening [cite: 118, 123, 124, 130]. Two texts were also approved for use: 'When Stars Are Scattered' for seventh grade and 'Long Way Down' for ninth grade [cite: 145, 148]. A new change order policy was discussed, allowing administration to approve change orders for the middle school project up to $25,000 and for other purposes up to $3,000, with all orders reported to the board monthly [cite: 93, 97, 101, 105, 106]. The board also approved the proposed board meeting dates for the 2026-2027 school year, with committee meetings on the first Thursday and full board meetings on the third Thursday of each month, with specific adjustments for reorganization and budget timelines [cite: 111].
Board Approves Final Budget and Homestead Farmstead Exclusion
The board approved the final budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This budget process involved a nine-month effort including internal cuts and an unusual reliance on projected state revenue. The budget does not allow for new innovations or major initiatives, focusing instead on maintaining existing educational programs. A tax increase of 4.2% was noted as a difficult but necessary measure to support educational opportunities for students. Additionally, the board approved the resolution to implement a homestead and farmstead exclusion, allocating $1.9 million in gaming proceeds and an additional $746 from the previous year, resulting in a $246.65 credit on property tax bills for eligible properties. This allocation is intended to provide a discount on property taxes for eligible homeowners.
Board Accepts Resignation, Outlines Process for Vacancy, and Expands Governance Committee's Role
The board accepted the resignation of school director John Tarrant, effective June 30th [cite: 72]. Letters of interest for the vacancy are being accepted until July 9th, with interviews scheduled before the July 16th meeting, where a new board member will be seated [cite: 73, 75, 79]. The board also discussed the Governance Committee's expanded role, which will now include superintendent evaluation, board professional development, onboarding, and self-evaluation, with an annual calendar developed by Dr. Gojoy [cite: 253, 254, 255]. The board met in executive session prior to the regular meeting for a safety and security briefing, contract issues, and personnel matters [cite: 80]. Board meeting dates for the 2026-2027 school year were approved, with committee meetings on the first Thursday and board meetings on the third Thursday of each month, with noted exceptions for reorganization and budget timelines [cite: 111].
