Board tables procurement card policy review after PSBA guidance surfaces
Summary
Discussion of Policy 6.25 (procurement cards) and its accompanying AR (06/25 Employee Usage Agreement) was tabled to next month so administration can review a newly issued PSBA administrative regulation and prepare recommended language.
Keystone Central SD board members agreed to table consideration of Policy 6.25 and the related Administrative Regulation (AR 06/25 Employee Usage Agreement) until the next meeting to give administration time to review updated guidance from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA).
Board members and staff discussed the need to increase accountability and transparency around procurement-card use, and a board member asked for limits on card usage to be considered. Staff said they maintain a list of current cardholders and that the AR documents employees’ responsibilities for card use.
A board member said PSBA had recently issued a new AR and asked that administration and the superintendent review it before the district adopts changes; staff agreed the timing warranted holding the item so administrators could compare the PSBA language with the district’s current policy and the draft AR. The board formally moved to table Policy 6.25 and related AR items until the next month’s meeting so staff could prepare recommended language.
No formal vote on policy language was recorded in the transcript; staff intends to return with suggested text and any proposed controls for the card program at the follow-up meeting.
