According to the agenda, the PESPA delegate assembly will be an in‑person event on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. at the Colorado Resorts and Convention in the Poconos. The submission window for school entities to name their delegates is May 1 through Aug. 30, 2025.

The agenda described the assembly as PESPA’s association‑wide business meeting covering platform and bylaw considerations, financial updates and leadership elections. Board members indicated support for naming a district voting delegate but did not record a formal vote in the meeting transcript.

Why it matters: The delegate assembly conducts organizational business that can affect statewide association policy, bylaws and leadership. Naming a voting delegate gives the district a voice in those decisions.

Next steps: The board item remained on the new‑business agenda for formal action; no recorded vote appears in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Committee Meeeting of the Whole May 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board placed a motion to approve Jennifer Hall as the district’s voting delegate to the 2025 PESPA delegate assembly; the assembly is scheduled for Oct. 21, 2025, in the Poconos and the submission window for delegate names runs May 1–Aug. 30, 2025.","taxTitle","William Penn SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",55555,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6231545,"William Penn SD reviews candidates for Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 board seats",110,477000,587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3429219-29f200ea5fbb058e07342ba99c5e1e99&start=477&end=587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3429219-29f200ea5fbb058e07342ba99c5e1e99/thumbnail_477000.jpg","/articles/6231545/Pennsylvania/William-Penn-SD-reviews-candidates-for-Delaware-County-Intermediate-Unit-No-25-board-seats","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231545-c57f89f59ffac32cc0ab07c5852f7866/orig.mp4?Expires=1777163032&Signature=OGj-x0trt-a4Ip~od7aMH5p-rH9kXwmXrZwwaWqyQGqzHNv4yDPSZPLsr~J4Ryq8ZMuEalOhg5zrEpgluwrW5i~IHnCXEKNwxgl245GfAvmvOpVcX7GLoCdow~rmPnrV1GBAtz3~-lU5xa32bYGOxgRpSTa6xQw~-psAMpV1Lmjl-V7DF8E7cH-kF4NR-1490NoRlKm4KXITT0hXp8r4q6tWczhKLTxleIyDxq9~5UNCy7xJAg3s27Y40bYwaHvvoLOYtWl-Fj0uU9ai~ynN-OeMy~bx2YTIIQVB2DR8kqxEpHzY6f-89X2vyXUCxqtxlIh5c2Q1qfvxyJjl8j0HVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the May 19 meeting, the William Penn School District board considered a request to elect representatives to the Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 board of directors for a three-year term running July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.

The motion before the board was to approve a resolution electing the individuals indicated to serve on Intermediate Unit No. 25’s board, the agenda stated. The district reported that nominees come from several member districts, including Chester-Upland, Interboro, Radnor, Ridley and Southeast Delco.

When the president deferred to a board member identified as Wadia for comment, Wadia said the appointees are new to the Intermediate Unit and have been serving for roughly two months. “They've been appointed to a previous, I guess, term. So they've only been on the board for about 2 months. But so far, everyone listed here... everyone has been present, asking questions and engaged. So I would not have a reason to raise any concerns,” Wadia said.

Why it matters: Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 provides shared services to member districts, and board representatives influence cooperative programs and regional services. The term for the seats under consideration would run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, according to the agenda read at the meeting.

The board did not record a vote in the transcript. The item remained on the new-business agenda for action; board members asked for clarification about candidate familiarity but expressed no substantive objections during the May 19 discussion.","The board discussed a request to elect representatives to the Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 board of directors for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2025; a board member who reviewed the candidates said the new members are recently appointed and engaged, and raised no concerns.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6231549,"William Penn SD schedules vote to post proposed 2025-26 budget after warnings of staff cuts",39,278000,317000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3429219-29f200ea5fbb058e07342ba99c5e1e99&start=278&end=317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3429219-29f200ea5fbb058e07342ba99c5e1e99/thumbnail_278000.jpg","/articles/6231549/Pennsylvania/William-Penn-SD-schedules-vote-to-post-proposed-2025-26-budget-after-warnings-of-staff-cuts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231549-b99e9bce47b1cd9a695d59e51dc08038/orig.mp4?Expires=1777163032&Signature=C-MY-R4-AavQR19X6eq-8X9T0wZrRyxpWVxmcKj1nAvQJcr~2ncYyXGOJ7wkoegDyybnbbpO6JrwycbNK-a4~ql1IuP3~ElAaFgIxfCnb65rrF5VQkP3KPCkGl5tiL4GXaocIcDBw2mdgTR5QodbBAV1YUxXhyaUt1NcqsgxvDWOTn5kvd7KHaWyLk7kQSqQdIMq3-QzIFPPzZA0deJ8Ed68ML-Pe90DnopPZTxiXNAszWD58uZxUG0UyGm8fE6Qsy5HoBAQAji79uJRl23C0Q2shY4ql7Ab1hrphe-~Ocuw-RuQH9A5qTGOpfnUsfydw11CWF06e~sEXoJIfUZ1Zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jennifer Hall, chair of the William Penn School District budget and finance committee, told the board on May 19 that the district will present a proposed 2025–26 final budget for public posting next week and that the vote will be to post the document for the legally required public-review period.

“I hope you will all attend Dr. B. Coats’ one-on-one on the budget to see where we are,” Hall said. “The vote on Tuesday will be to post the budget. The numbers are not final. They are not binding. They are to give the public a view of what we see.”

Hall cautioned board members and the public that the draft is grim: “It is not pretty. I will not sugarcoat it in any way, shape, or form. There is reductions in staffings, and there are a myriad of unpleasant cuts that need to will need to be made if we cannot figure this out.” She asked board directors to meet individually with Dr. B. Coats before the public presentation and said the board will discuss the draft at a public meeting the following Thursday on Zoom.

Why it matters: Posting the proposed budget starts a 30-day period during which residents can review the district’s revenue and spending plans; that posting is required by state law, Hall said. Board members repeatedly framed next week’s action as procedural — a vote to post a nonfinal document — not final approval of the budget’s numbers.

Board members did not take a formal vote during the May 19 meeting. Hall said the scheduled vote next week will be to post the proposed final budget so the public may review it for 30 days; any adoption of final numbers will occur through later board action.

Background: Hall said the district does not expect to adopt a final, on-time budget this week and that the posted figures will give the public a preliminary view of proposed cuts and the district’s options. She asked directors to attend the Thursday public presentation and to hold one-on-one briefings with Dr. B. Coats before that meeting to review details.

The board did not provide a complete line-item budget during the May 19 meeting, and Hall said details such as specific staffing reductions would be discussed in upcoming briefings and the public presentation.

Next steps: The board will hold the scheduled vote next week to post the proposed 2025–26 budget for the 30-day public inspection period; a public Zoom meeting will follow to explain the draft. Final adoption will be decided in later proceedings.","The William Penn School District’s budget and finance committee chair said the board will vote next week to post the proposed 2025-26 budget for the required 30-day public review and warned the draft includes staffing reductions and “a myriad of unpleasant cuts.”","actionData","errors"]
