During the committee report a board member asked what portion of the cost would be paid from the PCCD grant. The administration indicated that, at minimum, the setup fee may be paid from available PCCD grant funds for that year, but cautioned that the district cannot promise that future years would be covered by the same grant. The committee placed the item on the agenda for formal consideration with no objections at the report.

No formal contract language or multi-year funding commitment was approved during the committee report. The discussion at the meeting limited the grant‑funding commitment to the current grant period and left future-year funding sources to be determined if the board approves the contract at a later date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","School Board Meeting 5/19/25","oneSentenceSummary","The board placed on the agenda a request to enter an agreement for the Emergent 3E3 safety and emergency notification application at a stated cost of $10,000 per year plus an additional $6,000 fee; the administration said the PCCD grant could cover the setup fee but cautioned about committing future years to grant funding.","taxTitle","Connellsville Area SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",53777,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6231564,"Board to advertise proposed final budget and accept several donations; formal adoption set for later meeting",104,553000,657000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e&start=553&end=657","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e/thumbnail_553000.jpg","/articles/6231564/Pennsylvania/Board-to-advertise-proposed-final-budget-and-accept-several-donations-formal-adoption-set-for-later-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231564-ff4ebbe4173df20b53f92280ae266ecb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178959&Signature=lcbNZIP6KbZex4AwxEFr6SnEwZdXsfiVKMNwBfUYbqzKT9McEtYpjyA0pk4btRdAD79MIfDBZORkOULgu0KsLJ6Yv7t4Zv3nsOJyYF5RVs6RPSMvRnYF~8k-TxnmD9OPNWlT228pPPONk73U8YC44Voc8dpeKnIOCI94Dg2Ae64roLJfrD8VKwRg4SIDho078WStUJcgntKyIcDvvb3BD~TJEZ5Sv7Pt9wlzSdBEBF8QDXY4neskeskSg4f-LP2xhSHjusxeCEwBg60YXzjj08CpcpsbT5lLGFnMQowxA~LDMAFKDf0aQmLd3YgdGTxUf8WxfdcUlgq5aDc7xsAB4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Connellsville Area School District board placed on the agenda a resolution to advertise the proposed final budget for the 2025–26 fiscal year for both the school district and the career and technical center, as presented on the official budget form. The resolution, as read at the meeting, directs the district secretary to make the proposed final budget available for public inspection and to advertise a notice of intent to adopt the final budget at least 10 days before the scheduled adoption date in a newspaper of general circulation and by posting the notice at district offices.

During the finance report the board also read and placed on the agenda several donations intended for the district’s career and technical center: a $1,000 donation from Heartland Fabrication for a student competition, a $75 donation (read as \"Ian Roth race\") and a cash donation of $53. These donations were read into the record and scheduled for formal acceptance on the board meeting agenda.

The finance committee also announced a committee meeting and noted other routine items, including summer‑feeding adult prices (adult breakfast $3; adult lunch $5), and that the administration would present additional budget materials at a future meeting. The resolution presentation was informational at this stage; formal adoption of the final budget will follow the required public‑notice and inspection period spelled out in the resolution.","The board read a resolution to advertise the proposed final budget for the 2025–26 fiscal year and placed it on the agenda; several small donations to the career and technical center were also placed on the agenda.",{"_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},6231569,"Board to consider multiple supplemental positions, volunteer coaches and custodial hires after committee reports",620,214000,834000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e&start=214&end=834","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e/thumbnail_214000.jpg","/articles/6231569/Pennsylvania/Board-to-consider-multiple-supplemental-positions-volunteer-coaches-and-custodial-hires-after-committee-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231569-9ae6a56e0dc5975d739381c853c502f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178959&Signature=T49OYXQEDavI~HDs0lFjPJSMjwcvfmhRjHNp-xswteXiKmRRcbISkbCeMrjZDeLW2~w3Xfk0RDnMM1wLpC6qRcKPzUsqRpKD-58MZZsy~h7Ru17qLEnb4YAw3EXzC2HkjSJ8qHwWFGOQXDJkaz4qczX7AOjQ-QOexNy1jBw8MsmnC6lYkSWVVWelpw8A~SY8dmy86DhC46JwK5js5f6Vn4Evpvb4c-p7Rkj~3HHlcKPWDJB4prtwijIwiypI0CGbUc4OYSAlVkdkELz6EHW4p5HmPvoA8P1ut8~M57ahmjeQd3zF8nTWqAoVIIRP11uTPvXid6yj9eTfGtt18Iu5Uw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Connellsville Area School District board received committee requests to place multiple personnel items on the upcoming meeting agenda, including supplemental coaching positions for the 2025–26 school year, several volunteer coaching appointments and custodial hires.

Committee reports listed requested supplemental positions — including assistant coaching roles for volleyball, boys basketball and girls basketball — and named volunteer coaches across sports programs. The personnel committee also requested conditional approval to add several custodial substitutes to the district list for the 2024–25 school year and to hire a four‑hour custodian contingent on a successful background check. The board read the requests aloud and placed them on the next meeting agenda with no objections during the report.

Several of the personnel items were explicitly described as conditional pending successful completion of screening and background checks. The personnel committee also proposed appointing a new director of the Connellsville Area Career and Technical Center effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, with the contract subject to solicitor review; that appointment was placed on the agenda for formal action.

The committee did not take formal votes on the hires during the report segment; all items were scheduled for formal consideration and any final employment approvals will be contingent on the conditions read into the record (background checks, solicitor review where applicable).","The board placed on the agenda numerous personnel requests including 2025–26 supplemental coaching positions, volunteer coaches, custodial hires and additions to substitute lists; several approvals were listed as contingent on successful background checks.",{"_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},6231574,"Connellsville board places multiple facilities maintenance and service agreements on agenda, including gym-floor work and new waste contract",56,370000,426000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e&start=370&end=426","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e/thumbnail_370000.jpg","/articles/6231574/Pennsylvania/Connellsville-board-places-multiple-facilities-maintenance-and-service-agreements-on-agenda-including-gym-floor-work-and-new-waste-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231574-889b7558e51c0cb3d5603f24bcfa2e16/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178959&Signature=A91UqbEBHoTn62dpypHiEPGh2Yz5VTs6E1Yx5XVj071UNag12ILII0ex~AwNinnoRgdRi7WjAhguaSbRFpXW9QapkUYq0bFit-YZXsb8oaYWinyi6VDoXugTOjldfdTTppjHrC2E2Z~Sigb6L3vTFN5C7U0CtrPKtfCJD02vByCfdhS99DVL7RoOjYYVMO964of2zuk36JTkCFMdHZSNAn1H1flTJx594KbXgpzEOW90GhtGaGv3bbfDfHskzcrEVLX1pTiWZyjj4KYosZCjvAUE8iGQdGXkYZ9VfIcDAwtE0pbwTnYrGmj5h0vzg6ZFvI60rDk-0lkBSH8cg5gAsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Connellsville Area School District board received requests to place several facilities and maintenance contracts on the upcoming meeting agenda, including fire‑extinguisher maintenance, kitchen hood suppression inspections, gym-floor sanding and refinishing and a new three‑year waste-disposal agreement.

Buildings-and-grounds staff asked the board to place on the agenda a request for annual fire‑extinguisher maintenance covering district units and a separate kitchen hood suppression inspection and maintenance item. The agenda materials as read at the meeting listed an amount for the extinguisher maintenance and $2,167.20 for kitchen hood suppression inspection and maintenance; a board member suggested the hood-inspection charge should be paid from the food‑service fund.

The board was also asked to place on the agenda a bid recommendation to hire Sports Floor Incorporated and Veil Sanitation Supply to sand, refinish and paint the Connellsville Area High School gym floor at a cost of $43,780 (CoStar 5, E22192). In addition, the administration read a proposed three‑year customer service agreement with Republic Services for waste disposal, effective June 1, 2025, through May 30, 2028, with a listed monthly cost of $3,072.69 for the first year and an 8% increase for years two and three.

Each of these items was offered for placement on the next meeting agenda and, with no objections raised during the committee reports, was scheduled to appear. Several requests were noted as contingent on successful background checks or other routine conditions where applicable.

The administration did not provide additional contract documents or vendor proposals during the verbal report; the items will be available with the formal meeting materials for further review and formal action at the board meeting.","Board members requested agenda placement for fire-extinguisher maintenance, kitchen hood suppression inspection, gym-floor sanding and refinishing, and a three-year waste disposal contract; the meeting included stated dollar amounts in the agenda materials and a suggestion that food-service cover the kitchen hood cost.",{"_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},6231579,"Board member questions why piano restoration must be funded by fundraising while other equipment is district-funded",1151,88000,1239000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e&start=88&end=1239","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3429119-a45e621e88bef446715bdd0497b8d48e/thumbnail_88000.jpg","/articles/6231579/Pennsylvania/Board-member-questions-why-piano-restoration-must-be-funded-by-fundraising-while-other-equipment-is-district-funded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6231579-009960e0cb8a8eea8d4024218d40a934/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178960&Signature=AdoiLvEDCOkWirPCm~fPobWVJAMvA08JCEl0GyZmB4zMrxwpC94ADkj07~mGumZEfZMfMj0DiaJ3o6DwPZdyKGN~abC4tPCIq1GTlSoEIWCHcwbdLGy6db45ajaxw-oy1xZgOHZ-OXhOZyysN5MjaitNW~CrVs97rv5ewYugIWTG35TUQ6R6sy-139G5tbn-eaoZBsbf3O4sGaXDIae45YStokeFT5MSkg6n~998jbqJChevXAxr72o~8leNqcsgoW8h3c0gli0ITk457YUmxnAddUhmCeuZKSsaO~fqPNYGDdclVEQ330JTPv2DPEOp0eaqM3Uj6nYwNXpMisQ9lA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A board member at the Connellsville Area School District questioned the district’s practice of requiring fundraising to pay for a piano restoration while other equipment for student programs is funded from district budgets, and asked that the matter be placed back on next month’s agenda.

The issue mattered to the member because, they said, they have supported equipment purchases for sports and other programs for years and could not understand why the piano was being treated differently. The member asked for an explanation and requested the item be returned to the board’s next meeting for discussion.

The board solicitor explained the procedural position taken at the meeting: the piano-restoration request had been referred to committee and can be pulled back to the full board only if at least two board members request it and the board subsequently votes to do so. The solicitor also said the board president has discretion over agenda placement. The solicitor’s explanation indicated that, at the time of the meeting, no move had been made to pull the item out of committee for public discussion.

Board members present did not vote on an amendment or adopt a formal policy change during this discussion; the exchange at the meeting was focused on procedure rather than a substantive funding decision. The board member who raised the concern said they wanted the item returned to next month’s agenda for further consideration.

The board did not announce additional details about the piano vendor, estimated restoration cost, or any fundraising plan during the meeting; those details were not specified and will need to be provided at a later meeting or in committee materials.","A Connellsville Area School District board member asked why the district requires fundraising for a piano restoration while other student equipment purchases are paid from the budget; the item was referred to committee after a procedural explanation from the board solicitor.","actionData","errors"]
