They also approved the adoption of the general fund budget for 2026-2027, a resolution establishing the real estate millage rate, and the capital reserve budget for 2026-2027. Multiple tax resolutions, including Homestead Farmstead exclusion and Act 511, were passed. The board authorized the superintendent to handle necessary school district business between meetings, particularly during the July recess. Staffing resolutions, including some reductions and increases, were presented and approved. The personnel listing, including new principals and other hires, was approved with two members abstaining due to conflicts of interest. Several agreements were approved, including an internship agreement with the University of Pittsburgh, an extended school year services agreement with ACL Titson, a renewal with The Scoring Factory, and contracts for pest control, plumbing, and ballard installation. Surplus equipment was declared obsolete. Committee reports included updates on legislative priorities, an AI course, and a leadership conference. Executive session was held for personnel matters. The meeting adjourned after passing all voting agenda topics.
School District Approves Major Capital Projects, Staffing Changes, and Multiple Agreements
The board discussed and presented projected capital projects for the next two years, estimated at $8.3 million. These projects are concentrated on buildings outside the high school campus, primarily elementary schools, and include chiller replacements at Eisenhower, Streams, and Baker elementary schools, roof replacements at two schools, campus paving and concrete work at two schools, and a boiler replacement at Baker. Stucco repair and replacement for four buildings (High School, Four Couch, this building, and the Natatorium) were also discussed. The timing of these projects is linked to potential refinancing of 2019 bonds to secure favorable borrowing rates and minimize additional transaction costs. Some projects, like the Baker roof, are essential and follow recent upgrades to other buildings. The board also discussed the need for a maintenance rotation schedule for stucco repair and other physical plant items. An RFP for an architecture record is being issued. A robotics center project is underway for a fall opening, and remodeling of the high school library and theater are in progress. Hiring for the upcoming year is in a good position, with most staff in place by the target date of June 15th. New principals for the high school (Dr. Cara Singer) and Fort Couch (Dr. Dan Beck) were announced. A five-year employment agreement for Scott Burchil, Director of Business and Finance, was approved. A one-year extension to the sports medicine agreement with Eligi Health Network (AHN) was also approved. Staffing resolutions were presented, involving repurposing existing staff with some reductions (tech aids, instrumental music, assistant high school principal) and increases in special education teachers at Southwood and Boyce. The increase at Southwood is linked to increased programming and expansion, and is funded through a pass-through mechanism not impacting taxpayer money. A 5-year clinical internship affiliation agreement with the University of Pittsburgh was approved. The board approved spring curriculum recommendations and revised school board policies. An agreement with ACL Titson for extended school year services was approved. A renewal of the MOU with The Scoring Factory for gymnasium use was approved, with annual increases and a base payment. Orkin pest control contract renewal and contracts for the high school plumbing project (Nathan Constant Excavation and Plumbing) and the district Ballard project (Esahada Masonary LLC) were awarded. Surplus equipment, including four electric stoves used for student curriculum, was declared obsolete and authorized for disposal. Information was provided on legislative priorities, an AI course for school leaders, and the upcoming school leadership conference.
