Gettysburg Area School District board approves four policies, repurposes supplemental positions
Summary
At its most recent meeting the Gettysburg Area School District board approved four policy updates — including bullying/cyberbullying and AED/CPR policies — and approved repurposing supplemental positions; each action was approved by roll call.
The Gettysburg Area School District board voted unanimously to approve four policy items and to repurpose supplemental positions during its meeting at the district administration building.
The board approved policy 249 (bullying and cyberbullying), policy 822 (AED/CPR), policy 918 (Title I parent and family engagement), and an item to repurpose supplemental positions. Board members voted by roll call and each motion carried.
The actions were presented as separate agenda items but were handled sequentially. The bullying and cyberbullying policy (6.1) was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The AED/CPR policy (6.2) and the Title I parent and family engagement motion (6.3) were each moved and approved by roll call votes. The final action (6.4) repurposing supplemental positions was also approved by roll call after brief remarks of appreciation for the staff involved.
Board members recorded "yes" votes from Alice, Tim Sigmund, Michelle, Ryan, Kathleen and the board president; there were no recorded "no" or abstentions on these items.
The repurposing of supplemental positions drew brief comment from board members thanking those involved and noting the positions are intended to be useful to schools and students; specific details about which positions will be repurposed and any salary or head-count effects were not specified in the meeting materials and were not detailed on the record.
