Board approves dual-enrollment agreement with Immaculata University and education consent items
Summary
The board approved the education committee’s consent agenda, including a dual-enrollment agreement with Immaculata University, field trips within a 60-mile radius, and other education items. Staff noted a shipping-cost reduction for mathematics textbooks and discussed a special-needs training paid for as a single package for four teachers.
The Exeter Township School Board approved the education committee’s consent agenda Feb. 18, which included a dual-enrollment agreement with Immaculata University and routine education items such as field-trip approvals and instructional materials.
Allison Wilson, chair of the education committee, presented an enrollment report and noted about 20 field trips within a 60-mile radius. The committee recommended approval of a dual-enrollment agreement with Immaculata University. The board passed the motion following a motion and second.
Nut graf: The consent agenda bundles multiple recurring education items. The meeting record highlights two operational details: a shipping-cost reduction for Algebra I and other math textbooks and the cost structure for a specialized Imagine Learning training for four special-education teachers.
Supporting details: Dr. Josh Hoyt, director of teaching and learning, said the original shipping quote for math textbooks was $7,920 and that staff secured a 50% reduction in that shipping cost. Committee members asked about the Imagine Learning training cost; Allison Wilson said the stated price covered all four teachers (the committee described the training as specific to students with special needs). The motion to approve education items 1–7 carried with a voice vote recorded as “ayes have it.”
The board did not provide line-item cost details for every consent item in the public discussion transcript; those details are attached to the education committee materials in the meeting packet.
