District to switch trainer employment to UPMC; staff expect smooth transition
Summary
District staff said UPMC will employ the trainers who previously worked through Excela; staff described the change as a smooth transition and said the trainers — Matt and Colleen — will remain the same.
District staff told the Penn Trafford School Board that UPMC will employ the trainers who previously provided services through Excela, and staff described the change as a smooth transition.
The change matters for the trainers’ employment status and the administrative relationship for training services; board members and staff indicated the same individuals will continue providing trainings under the new employer.
An unidentified staff member told the board, “UPMC will be our trainers... It’s gonna be a smooth transition,” and said the district expects “the same trainers” — identified by first names as Matt and Colleen — to continue their work but under UPMC employment rather than Excela. The staff member also said paperwork about the change was left at the meeting location and that two pages describing the arrangement exist; another staff member (Carrie) confirmed she had the documents and the board requested copies for the next meeting.
Board members asked that the two-page document be made available at the next meeting; staff confirmed Carrie had the materials and the board requested them for next week’s agenda packet. The transcript does not include a formal vote or a contract award during the meeting excerpt; the remarks describe a personnel/employment transition and administrative plan rather than a completed procurement action.
The district did not provide contract terms, effective dates or budget details in the excerpt; staff said trainers Matt and Colleen will continue their instructional roles under UPMC employment.
