Summary
At its March 25 meeting the Markley Town School Board approved a slate of routine purchases, facility projects, curriculum adoptions and personnel items, including mechanical design work at Paxton Hollow Middle School, districtwide camera replacement and the facility use of the high school track for a charitable meet.
Markley Town School Board members on March 25 approved multiple routine motions covering facilities work, purchases, curriculum items and human-resources actions, with the board recording voice votes in favor and no recorded oppositions.
The approvals included authorization for mechanical and architectural design at the Paxton Hollow Middle School boiler room (item 12.02), purchase of a shed for Russell Elementary School (12.03), a districtwide camera replacement project (12.04), new gym mats for elementary schools (12.05) and approval for use of the district track stadium for a charitable meet (12.06). Committee chairs also moved a set of budget and finance items (11.02–11.06) and a package of curriculum-related approvals that covered student trips, curriculum implementation, school clubs, non-school clubs, book disposal and book-title adoption; the board adopted the comprehensive plan listed under the curriculum items.
Human Resources and policy actions approved by the board included supplemental contracts, appointments, resignations, a termination item, leaves of absence and returns from leave, and staff transfers listed under agenda items 14.02–14.09. The board also approved the secretary’s minutes and the five items listed under “other reports.”
Most motions were moved and seconded on the floor and decided by voice vote. Where the transcript records a named mover it is noted in the actions inventory below; in other cases the transcript records only that a motion and a second were made and that the ayes carried the motion.
During the public-comment period, Evan Pappas of Newtown Square addressed the board to thank members for approving the track rental and said donors would like to make a contribution to the track team and coordinate with boosters and district staff to make that happen; the board had approved the facility use earlier in the meeting.
