Staff said the bid advertisement is planned for late May with a bid opening in mid-June and recommended awarding contracts at the June board meeting; staff asked the board to authorize the bid process at the next regular meeting.

Why it matters: the district said equipment replacement is part of routine food-service maintenance and will be funded from the food-service fund reflected in the proposed final budget.

Staff also described the summer food service program: meals will be distributed to participants in the district program at Union Canal during the July distribution period (dates provided in the packet as July 7–14). The presenter said the summer meal distribution follows established procedures used in prior years and will be included on the board agenda for authorization next week.

Doctor Bosman presented the personnel listing and highlighted that the district migrated hiring to the Red Rover platform in early February and plans to expand Red Rover usage to absence management starting July 1. Doctor Bosman said the hiring platform rollout \"has gone very well.\"

Why it matters: the personnel docket for the coming year contains multiple routine items that will be placed on the board's consent agenda, including resignations, retirements, leaves and recommended hires for summer crews, extended-school-year staff and campus programs. Staff read several personnel items into the record, including resignations and approved leaves for the 2025–26 school year, pending completion of pre-employment materials for some hires.

Items read into the transcript included (selection):
- Resignations/retirements: listed employees and effective dates (transcript provides multiple names and positions; see personnel docket on the public agenda for full list).
- Leaves: childbearing/child-rearing leaves and workers’ compensation leaves requested for 2025–26 by several instructors and counselors.
- New hires/ratifications: summer maintenance crew, summer camp staff and long-term substitutes listed with hourly/salary figures in the personnel packet; extended school-year staff list also noted for approval.

Board members asked about assistant/Paraprofessional staffing, particularly in special education. Doctor Bosman said the district has filled most positions, has one remaining vacancy and will continue recruitment over the summer. No final personnel votes were taken at the May 12 work session; staff asked the board to place the personnel docket on next week’s agenda for formal action.","The board was briefed on resignations, leaves, new hires and the district's adoption of the Red Rover platform for hiring and absence management; several personnel items will be on the consent agenda next week.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6558073,"District rolls out Falcon Flex professional-learning schedule; multiple curricula to be placed on June agenda",727,4461480,5189315,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276673-f7fa315c97f2c488f630d0f6a0722114&start=4461&end=5189","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276673-f7fa315c97f2c488f630d0f6a0722114/thumbnail_4461480.jpg","/articles/6558073/Pennsylvania/District-rolls-out-Falcon-Flex-professional-learning-schedule-multiple-curricula-to-be-placed-on-June-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6558073-667c673116790914dd3cf458a444b070/orig.mp4?Expires=1770737430&Signature=E1pqdDic1T1To4PL6ap4UI4-U3Vr-eDDKYJ3HQ2dd0JzKQO78V07aHrrm0hSKIt70MyXggfqbSrbkEOAro1BUJncUEU1i~15hvX29ZFGFakbIdzwYsyJIB~pf583FIc0AdmyQOsUN1l6J9KSeet5N7FKKREYxtNCr~8pZZHqGRbPb96xCAj27pD9FN0ERr7ZNixP7SvieRa3b~DIqPpPkhq66XMTkxohZRH6TVtLHJXphWqppk9zZl4e8A~AS3sLpzCVRG922QGn4nZYIYQaT5D19gH4FB7dT7NECh5xDc7EGQyfwzZZ2KWpnNyohM6IBc8WyCvPpZvCfLIzp46TCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District leaders described the Falcon Flex professional-learning catalog and said multiple department curriculum packages will be placed on the board’s agenda for approval.

Doctor Rackley and Doctor Murray said the Falcon Flex catalog opened May 1 with nearly 300 professional-development sessions. Staff said the first Falcon Flex Summit runs June 11–13 and a second mini-summit is scheduled for July 29–31; other single sessions begin between those dates.

Why it matters: staff described Falcon Flex as a teacher-choice model intended to give teachers agency in selecting professional learning that aligns with district priorities. Staff said the program will help staff complete required professional-development hours efficiently.

Curriculum items staff said would be placed on the next meeting agenda for grouped approval included:
- Art: 19 courses written in this cycle (first time in the new cycle);
- Technology education: 24 high-school courses plus seven family/consumer-science courses for a total of 31 courses aligned to the new technology and engineering standards that take effect July 1;
- Computer science: eight high-school computer science courses (including AP and college-credit offerings);
- Music: 27 courses covering general music and performing ensembles, with K–5 horizontal alignment in elementary schools.

The presenter noted these curricula were the result of K–12 vertical and horizontal collaboration among curriculum leaders. The district also told the board it will present the official list of Cedar Crest High School’s 382 graduates for approval at the next meeting, and reminded directors that 21 students participated in a January ceremony and will be included in the final approval.

The superintendent-level presenters asked that the curriculum packages and the graduation list be placed on next week’s agenda for formal action; no final approvals were taken at the May 12 work session.","Administrators reviewed Falcon Flex professional learning dates and presented completed K–12 curriculum revisions in art, technology education, computer science and music for board consideration next week; the board was also told the Cedar Crest High School graduation list will be presented for approval.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6558078,"Cornwall-Lebanon proposes 2025–26 budget that would use fund balance, raise millage",1028,4127400,5155435,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276673-f7fa315c97f2c488f630d0f6a0722114&start=4127&end=5155","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276673-f7fa315c97f2c488f630d0f6a0722114/thumbnail_4127400.jpg","/articles/6558078/Pennsylvania/Cornwall-Lebanon-proposes-202526-budget-that-would-use-fund-balance-raise-millage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6558078-60fdfbf26d2bf300558ad42c2c2194e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770737430&Signature=lM2v4WAgbs5FsDFu4aVbleklch31Mtqd0bbblXqN4wRseburIckh45UtpJiUPbo0t9oofwiXZaPyfbGrwqntKaAquzJAnLY5DEp-ee2D4IcsPdoeJd4RtE7zYT-617oD-F2hjlgpyZ1kdxa7QTQ8f0UgtFwWskkC3HpGLHdrCfASw4KlP24ST16m4H8Y-16AO~IJz~fj9uSBlMwvPoCyEdX7wAZeUu3IlWH-gFizNQkPypZ6qkSdff-Jk1Hb7kVyqfvetUPwlRDdY83TjDj1syPOiI0xs-6YjhaoSN-dvnUfAeZkxWR3KGu07N5sftT6JN0r1E1-Wwmi4TR8YmAEvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cornwall-Lebanon School District presented a proposed final budget for 2025–26 at its May 12 work session showing a projected shortfall that staff said would require use of fund balance and a proposed tax increase.

The presenter said total expenditures were projected at \"not quite $110,000,000\" and total revenue at about $106.5 million, leaving a gap of approximately $3.3 million. To balance the budget staff proposed using assigned fund balance and a 4.8% tax increase; staff quoted a proposed millage of 19.269.

Why it matters: staff said the proposed budget reflects substantial mandated costs, including employer retirement contributions and increased special-education and transportation expenses. The presenter said employer retirement costs are projected at $14.5 million and noted the state reimburses roughly 50% of retirement costs; the meeting presentation said the state reimbursement included in revenue would be approximately $7.25 million.

Other budget details presented:
- Certified tuition rates for 2024–25 were reported by staff as $12,370 for elementary and $13,528 for secondary (PDE certification referenced).
- Cyber charter costs: staff reported 182 Cornwall-Lebanon students enrolled in outside cyber schools and said the district’s cyber tuition line is increasing; the transcript noted per-pupil cyber tuition figures of $12,663 for regular tuition and $30,000 for students with IEPs but did not provide a complete line-item total in the presentation.
- Property tax relief: staff reported a property tax relief allocation to Cornwall-Lebanon of $2.2 million and estimated the homestead/farmstead benefit would reduce the median homeowner’s bill by roughly $123 after the allocation is applied (staff also used an example assessed value of $172,700 and estimated a per-property reduction of about $210 for homestead/farmstead-eligible properties depending on approvals).

The presenter outlined capital/debt planning tied to ongoing renovation projects and said the district is allocating annual amounts into a reserves plan to smooth future bond payments. Staff asked the board to approve the proposed final budget at next week’s meeting so staff can file required documents with the Pennsylvania Department of Education and continue to refine figures before final adoption in June. No final budget vote occurred at the May 12 work session.","District staff presented a proposed final 2025–26 budget showing a projected gap and recommended a proposed tax increase and other budget elements for board action next week.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6558083,"Cornwall-Lebanon updates construction timeline, seeks approvals on maintenance and contracts",429,2604515,3033890,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276673-f7fa315c97f2c488f630d0f6a0722114&start=2604&end=3033","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276673-f7fa315c97f2c488f630d0f6a0722114/thumbnail_2604515.jpg","/articles/6558083/Pennsylvania/Cornwall-Lebanon-updates-construction-timeline-seeks-approvals-on-maintenance-and-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6558083-391ad538fa4fcd156b9a52a88e4b6a24/orig.mp4?Expires=1770737430&Signature=Q1bmlLpfSHCJGi7rJ-TaxLSp~t0XOPDuxlWJw30YLf4hFn85gFqISM96Wg~0m8hum8rbEbVUDYpmBGp-TF8IIkAkTr~04i0oBnZcrEsG3ZLw1oPMzUzdK7m3VQ7xvkNZssbm8BRjt87e~Sk-YhXJR4gnRDuI9qr6bLhz-4-QWLiWC1ZGWk-sAnYqeDiHoxT8AYL8XaTR253AgxodMvib8ol4n4yp6kHLjADGIMsm3fqt0OhW4SsFNFlBt6hIzDAxQYG9k4YfuS6kJsXrtwKbXT5R2RwcI0cucvq-~-COK3mWL1QUL72f2O9qHX7c8IvR5J8Dk0cvFSujnSq8MdW7Yg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cornwall-Lebanon School District staff reported progress on campus construction and presented several operations and maintenance items for board consideration at the district's May 12 public work session.

The administration said a small change order for the Falcon Connector — a solid surface at the top of one stairwell — is \"a little less than $1,400,\" and staff asked the board to place that change order on the agenda for approval at the next regular meeting. Mrs. Hentz, who presented the buildings and grounds report, said the Connector work will continue into June and an open house is planned for the summer.

Why it matters: the district told directors that multiple large projects will run simultaneously on campus, requiring contractor coordination, security clearances and staged construction scheduling. District staff said a ceremonial groundbreaking for both the high school renovation/addition and the stadium renovation occurred on May 12; contractors have been notified to proceed. The district gave completion targets of August 2026 for the stadium renovation and spring 2028 for the high school project.

Staff also described a proposed one-year renewal of the Siemens preventative maintenance agreement, covering training and troubleshooting for building automation/HVAC systems. The presenter noted the renewal increases on-site visits from once to twice monthly and said the contract covers five of seven district buildings plus the Falcon Connector; the transcript lists the renewal cost as \"63.5\" but did not specify units (dollars or thousands). That renewal will be on the agenda for the board’s next meeting.

Other facilities items scheduled for future board action included:
- A five-year trash-collection contract beginning July with Casella; the presenter gave the first-year cost for 2025–26 as $71,000 and said the bid represents a 28% increase over prior budgeted amounts with a 5% annual escalation thereafter.
- Stage rigging and curtain repairs for three elementary schools (Cornwall, Ebenezer and South Lebanon), to be scheduled in August–September after curtain delivery; presenters said upgrades are needed to meet fire-resistance and insurance inspection requirements.
- Routine lead-in-drinking-water testing under Act 39 (2018). Staff told directors the district conducts annual water testing at multiple outlets in each building; because the testing is performed, the item was informational with no action required at this meeting.

Staff indicated vendors and contractors will be brought forward for formal approval at the next regular board meeting; no contract awards were finalized during the May 12 session. The buildings-and-grounds report closed with a reminder that many on-campus projects will require increased contractor presence and coordination over the coming construction seasons.","At the May 12 work session, district staff presented progress on the Falcon Connector and major construction projects, proposed a one-year Siemens maintenance renewal, and outlined several facilities contracts and repairs to be considered at the next regular board meeting.","actionData","errors"]
