The Lewisburg Area School District Board of Education approved multiple memoranda of understanding (MOUs) affecting extracurricular and support positions and adopted a change to the support-staff handbook Tuesday evening.
Board members approved MOUs that (1) create a weight-room monitor position, (2) alter the number of concerts required of music staff, (3) add a second assistant for varsity boys soccer, and (4) add an assistant to the middle-school principal. Those items were moved and passed by voice votes during the meeting.
Separately, the board voted by roll call to revise the support-staff handbook to replace a $3-per-hour stipend tied to waiving health insurance with a single $4,000 stipend, to be prorated across the year. The change was described in board documents as a replacement of the hourly stipend with an annual stipend; the board took the roll-call vote specifically on that handbook change.
Board discussion on the MOUs was brief; members and staff described the concert MOU as recognizing extra work already being done by music staff, and the athletics MOU as a response to large team rosters. For the handbook change, staff explained the $4,000 stipend is prorated across the year and presented it as a compliance update to current practice. The transcript does not record any motion to amend the stipend amount.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes show the MOUs were approved by voice vote and the handbook change passed on a roll-call vote. The meeting did not include additional details in the record about implementation dates, eligibility rules for the stipend, or budget line-item adjustments.
Board members said operational questions (such as how stipends are prorated for part-time employees) will be handled by district staff; no additional board direction or follow-up deadlines were recorded.
