Board debates shifting one monthly action meeting to a work session; vote set for May 22
The Haverford Township School District superintendent presented a proposed 2025–26 board meeting calendar Thursday that would convert one of the district's two monthly action meetings into a work session and leave the second meeting as the action meeting where votes occur.

Proponents said the change could create more time for presentations and public input without the pressure of immediate votes. "The work meeting could potentially allow more community input," a board member said, noting it could make action meetings more efficient.

Concerns included the timing of bill payments if action meetings occur only once a month and how the district would notify the public in advance about topics if committee assignments were removed. Administration said some bills (for example utilities) may still require off‑cycle processing and that the district could post a bill list or have a second ratification process as needed.

Board members asked for more detail about agenda planning and how items would be assigned to work sessions. The superintendent asked members to submit further questions in advance; the board will consider a vote on the calendar at its May 22 meeting.
