Board to consider emergency‑notification app; initial setup may be paid from PCCD grant, future funding unclear
Summary
The board placed on the agenda a request to enter an agreement for the Emergent 3E3 safety and emergency notification application at a stated cost of $10,000 per year plus an additional $6,000 fee; the administration said the PCCD grant could cover the setup fee but cautioned about committing future years to grant funding.
The Connellsville Area School District’s safety and security committee placed on the agenda a request to enter into an agreement for the Emergent 3E3 safety and emergency notification application at a stated cost of $10,000 per year, with an additional $6,000 fee the district would partially pay using funds from a Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) grant.
During the committee report a board member asked what portion of the cost would be paid from the PCCD grant. The administration indicated that, at minimum, the setup fee may be paid from available PCCD grant funds for that year, but cautioned that the district cannot promise that future years would be covered by the same grant. The committee placed the item on the agenda for formal consideration with no objections at the report.
No formal contract language or multi-year funding commitment was approved during the committee report. The discussion at the meeting limited the grant‑funding commitment to the current grant period and left future-year funding sources to be determined if the board approves the contract at a later date.
