Summary
The South Fayette Township SD board approved personnel items 1–7 and education items 1–3 by voice vote, covering transfers, hires, resignations, leaves, summer remediation courses and staff professional travel.
The South Fayette Township SD board approved multiple personnel and education items during the meeting, taking voice votes to finalize hires, resignations, leaves and summer course offerings.
On personnel, the board approved items 1 through 7 together. The motions covered transfers and new hires including a transfer of Sophie McNabish to a personal care paraeducator role at the intermediate school, hiring Amanda Bridal as a building substitute teacher for biology retroactive to May 7 at $150 per day, hiring substitute teachers Katherine Gillen and Elizabeth Supanek, hiring a part‑time catering/food service employee at a stated hourly rate with a post‑probation increase, the resignation of custodian James Duell, and an approved leave of absence request for intermediate school teacher Amy Krappweis for next school year. The motion to approve personnel items 1–7 was moved by Rebecca and seconded by Mr. Gray; the board approved the motion by voice vote with the chair saying, "All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries."
Under education, the superintendent and assistant superintendent recommended approval of three items that the board approved: district offering of hybrid online summer remediation courses for Algebra I (June 9–July 22, 2025) and Geometry (June 9–July 7, 2025) with family fees set at $310 for residents and $330 for nonresidents (staff said fees cover costs with a minimum enrollment of six students; if fewer than six enroll, the district would fund the difference), and district approval for three teachers to attend ISTE Live 25 in San Antonio (June 29–July 2, 2025) to be paid from the 2024–25 budget. A motion to approve education items 1–3 was moved by Len and seconded by Tom; the chair called the voice vote, "All in favor? Aye," and the motion carried.
Board members recessed the formal agenda for public comment rules and later returned to conduct the votes. No roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes for these voice votes.
Next steps: the personnel and education items approved tonight will be processed by the district human resources and administrative offices per standard procedures.
