The Wyoming Area School District Board of Education on Feb. 20 reviewed routine finance, education, activities, building and policy reports that included proposed vendor payments, personnel actions, fundraisers and policy revisions. The meeting transcript records presentation of the items but does not show final votes on those items within the excerpt.
In the finance report, the board was told the district received several receipts: local earned income tax receipts of $132,912.97, state and federal subsidy payments totaling $1,475,209.43, and local real estate transfer tax receipts of $58,643.63. The finance report listed agenda items for board discussion, including approval of a February payment of $82,733.06 to the LIU for special education services, a February payment of $4,958.33 for Lighthouse Academy full diagnostic services, and a ratified payment of $69,742.73 to the Westside Career and Technology Center for the 2024–25 school year.
The finance docket also included approval of the 2025–26 LIU 18 general operating budget; an agreement between the district and Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services, Inc., effective Feb. 2025 through the end of the 2024–25 school year; appointment of Bob Galardi/Golden Photo Studio as the district’s official yearbook photographer for 2025–26; a $188.99 refund to Fox Ridge Abstract for a mistakenly collected realty transfer tax; tuition reimbursements; and a proposed contract with Penone (lead drinking water consultant) pending superintendent and solicitor approval.
The education report covered federal program planning under Title I–IV for 2024–25, approval of a teacher induction program, extension of several employees' medical leaves through spring 2025, and approval of a revised professional substitute list. The activities report included requests to hold fundraisers and events: the 2025 Unico All-Star Charity football game at the district stadium on May 30, 2025; multiple PTO fundraisers and a designer purse bingo fundraiser; and permission for the boys basketball parents association to sell blocks for March Madness finals.
The building report accepted letters of retirement from two employees effective 06/06/2025 and 02/28/2025 and noted a maternity leave request beginning 03/17/2025 with an anticipated return date of 05/05/2025. The policy report presented revised policies for second and first readings, including Policy 2.37 (electronic devices), Policy 6.10 (purchases subject to bid quotation), Policy 6.11 (purchases budgeted), and attachments related to federal program procurement and Title I parent family engagement.
Board members took questions from the public during and after the reports. One resident, John Bonin of West Wyoming, asked whether the district's proposed lead-drinking-water consulting services implied an active remediation requirement; a finance official answered the item referred to compliance work rather than immediate remediation. The transcript does not record roll-call votes on the listed items in the excerpt provided; several items were read for discussion or approval at a future board action.
