Hayes also said 119 more students participated in AP courses this year than in the prior year.

Hayes highlighted individual student achievements: two Haverford High School juniors, Annie Fenton and Abby Simpson, earned perfect scores on the AP 2‑D Art and Design exam. Hayes said only a small number of students worldwide earned perfect scores on that exam.

The superintendent also reported that two ninth graders, Mohammed Tanvir Tariq and Modupe Omo Lehi, were accepted into Drexel University’s Accounting, Finance and Business Initiative summer program, a one‑week residential program aimed at first‑generation high school students to cultivate leaders in accounting, finance, business and technology.

On administrative work, Hayes said the district’s administrative team concluded three days of summer learning focused on team building, leadership styles, analysis of data to develop action plans aligned with the strategic plan, increasing staff diversity and consistent behavior response strategies to support social and emotional growth. From a human resources perspective, Hayes said the district has received more candidate applications than positions available, held six final interviews over the prior two weeks and was presenting at least one candidate for hire during the meeting.

Why it matters: The policy adoptions and hiring decisions shape district operations, personnel administration and the pipeline for student-teacher placements. The affiliation agreements expand practicum and internship opportunities for university students placed in Haverford classrooms, and the board approved a new position policy that will be added to the district’s policy manual.

The board adopted policy 301, creating a new position, following the district’s standard review process; the motion was made and seconded and passed on a voice vote. The board also adopted the following policies after multiple readings and committee review: policy 308 (employment contract/board resolution), policy 309 (assignment and transfer), policy 323 (tobacco products), policy 324 (personnel files), policy 702 (gifts, grants, donations), and policy 828 (fraud). Board members noted the policies had been reviewed in committee and that most had no changes between the second reading and adoption.

The board approved an affiliation agreement with the University at Buffalo to use the district as a placement site for school psychology intern students; district staff said the agreement is a first-year partnership and that district psychologists will supervise interns on site. The board also approved a letter of agreement with Eastern University for field experience, student teaching placements, internships and practicum students, which members said continues a long-standing relationship.

On personnel matters, the board approved retirements and resignations as listed in the agenda, accepted appointments contingent on the receipt of required clearances (including Act 168 of 2014), and moved to reappoint Fox Rothschild LLP as special counsel. The board also accepted a slate of appointments recommended by the administration; during the meeting Superintendent Doctor Hayes introduced David Ford as the district’s new assistant principal for Haverford Middle School and provided Ford’s educational background and previous teaching roles.

Board members spoke in appreciation of human resources work to recruit staff over the summer. Superintendent Hayes said HR has held multiple final interviews ‘‘between last week and this week alone’’ and presented at least one candidate for hire that evening who had completed the hiring process.

All motions in this section passed on voice votes recorded in the meeting minutes.","The School District of Haverford Township adopted several personnel and policy changes, approved university affiliation agreements for student placements, reappointed legal counsel, and introduced David Ford as the new assistant principal for Haverford Middle School.",{"_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},6164706,"Board approves change orders for Haverford Middle School; owner’s representative says contingency nearly exhausted",64,723000,787000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5427815-e33b63407e5d9c8f9cda68c32a1daf1a&start=723&end=787","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5427815-e33b63407e5d9c8f9cda68c32a1daf1a/thumbnail_723000.jpg","/articles/6164706/Pennsylvania/Board-approves-change-orders-for-Haverford-Middle-School-owners-representative-says-contingency-nearly-exhausted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164706-8d2f3b0fac5cc91d0cc24c99b542757c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770996959&Signature=UtdprpfHYCTVIkvRHSdbCKcWNBccVUqLageJ9TSklBSUxGaYhurGo0OpunVTOkWcYLV-l~u9org5aUr7bG1siLD2~n-1f2606rdyfD6rG~86Uw5s8PKOgTuWwg0VKawHEjXbtUNJwtJt1Merd9jwj-jTEe2JUbBsC8MazQT~1-GuEPNiH5teSP1YmUtqFbxO~XdfTYhxvSnwk~zxpc3y~kPkgmK1Vl3LhuiRh31GT3eldUFdo5fMYx3VBXZdct09e~yBprDdgh-NiNYqiMSYG9fhhZnw1a0P8qz~xo-U~FyitQRPWmgD8p13gT-gqktDQt7s6xkeH-nv-~7A0Vs96g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The School District of Haverford Township on the evening of its regular meeting approved change orders for the Haverford Middle School renovation after demolition revealed extensive hidden conditions, and the district’s owner’s representative said the project’s contingency and allowances are nearly exhausted. The board approved the recommendation of the owner’s representative, CB Development Services Inc., and authorized the change orders as listed on the agenda. District officials said they are monitoring the schedule to have the school ready for September.

Why it matters: The change orders follow demolition that exposed unexpected wall and foundation work across classrooms and the gym. Those conditions increased costs and reduced the district’s available contingency and allowances, creating a higher risk that the district could face additional overruns before the project is complete.

Board members voted to accept the owner’s representative’s recommendation after a brief discussion about the scope and timing of the newly discovered work. Ken, the owner’s representative for CB Development Services Inc., told the board demolition that began when school ended exposed \"a lot of unfinished walls that would have been expected to be plaster similar to this, but there was nothing behind it all,\" and that the gym work revealed additional block work and foundation needs. \"It's quite extensive,\" he said.

Ken said the district’s remaining allowances are small. \"So right now our contingency is even a little lower than that. We have about a $100,000 of allowances left,\" he said, adding that the project team expects most of those remaining funds to be expended to finish the work. When a board member asked whether the district would have to cover overruns, Ken said, \"That is possible right now, for what I'm projecting. It's gonna be very close. So we're we've already been talking about that with district administration and how we're gonna handle that if that does happen.\" The meeting record shows the motion passed on a voice vote (all in favor).

On schedule, Ken said crews are working extended hours and weekends and that visible progress will come quickly: \"For example, they paved today. So within another week, the front parking lot's gonna look very different,\" and most sidewalks should be completed in about two weeks. Inside the building, he said demolition is finished and the next priorities are classrooms and the kitchen, which he described as essential for opening school: \"The classrooms and the kitchen are priority because, obviously, we can't have school without them.\"

Discussion in the meeting repeatedly noted that while the team is tracking to complete the work for the fall, there remain punch-list items and a small but real possibility of additional costs. District staff and the owner’s representative said they are maintaining close communication with contractors and developing contingency plans should additional funds be required.

The board approved the change orders as listed on the agenda. District staff said they will continue to report progress to the board; the board’s next publicly announced regular meeting is scheduled for 08/07/2025.
