The Connellsville Area School District Board of Education approved purchases for the buildings and grounds department, including a 2025 Ford F‑350 from John Newton Ford at a listed cost of $52,494.75 and snowplows from Smiles Trailer and Snow Equipment at a cost of $13,375 to be paid from the buildings and grounds budget.
The board also conditionally approved additions to the custodial substitute list for the 2025–26 school year contingent on successful submission of screening and background checks. The vehicle and equipment purchase motions were moved and seconded and recorded as carried.
During discussion a board member compared another bid amount and the board briefly clarified numbers on the snowplow purchase; the motion nevertheless carried. A separate remark noted the district plans to reuse or retire an older truck bed in coordination with the new snowplow purchase.
The purchases were presented in the buildings and grounds agenda; no further public comment on those items was recorded.
