Board accepts $39,600 donation for STEM, approves tax exonerations and routine finance items
Summary
The board accepted a $39,600 donation from the Larry Hull Trust for STEM initiatives, approved exoneration of two recently exempted real estate tax bills and ratified routine finance items including disposal of obsolete vehicles and technology purchases for 2025–26.
During its July 21 meeting, the Hapra Horsham School District Board accepted a donation from the Larry Hull Trust totaling $39,600 to support science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) equipment and supplies districtwide. A staff member thanked the trust and the community for the contribution after the board voted to accept the donation.
The board also approved a package of finance items including the exoneration of current real estate tax bills for two properties recently deemed tax-exempt by Montgomery County, disposal of obsolete vehicles in the transportation department and unusable technology, and budgeted technology purchases for the 2025–26 school year. The board approved tuition expenses for students who reside within the district but will attend another educational facility in accordance with state law; the motion referenced compliance with applicable state requirements but did not list the statute by name.
Theresa Brown moved to approve finance items 7a through 7e; Susan Hunsinger Hoff seconded. The motion passed by voice vote with all members saying “aye.” The board did not disclose detailed line-item sums for the technology purchases or the identities of the two tax-exempt properties during the public meeting.
