Penn-Trafford board tables public-relations policy, approves two personnel hires
Summary
The Penn-Trafford School District Board voted to table a public-relations/legislative policy until May and approved two personnel hires: a director of facilities and a temporary substitute tutor.
The Penn-Trafford School District Board of School Directors voted during its April 1 meeting to table a public-relations and legislative policy item until May and to approve two personnel hires presented under the consent agenda.
A board member moved to table the policy listed as “public relations and legislative type 2” (page 13 of the agenda) until May; another board member seconded the motion. The board called the question and conducted a roll-call vote; the motion carried. The board then approved a revised consent agenda after removing the policy item.
Under personnel and curriculum, the board approved the employment of Brian Richards as districtwide Director of Facilities and Grounds at an annual salary of $105,000, effective May 5, 2025. The board also approved the hiring of Max Heppenberger as a “super sub” tutor at Level Green Elementary School at a rate of $150 per day, effective Feb. 24, 2025, through May 24, 2025. The superintendent’s report noted that new employment is contingent on receipt of required Pennsylvania background clearances (Act 34, Act 151 and Act 114) within 30 days.
Board members used standard roll-call voting procedures; the meeting record shows the motions were seconded and announced as carried. The meeting opened with routine informational items and the board noted it had met in executive session before the public meeting to discuss personnel and collective-bargaining negotiations. No board discussion or amendment details for the hires were recorded on the public transcript.
