Summary
At the Feb. 11 meeting the board approved the 2025–26 school calendar, seven personnel items, surplus/obsolete equipment disposal and a package of finance items including IDEA Part B and contracts for internet/DDOS services, a marching band show and athletics agreements.
The Saucon Valley School District Board of Directors took a series of routine votes Feb. 11, approving the 2025–26 school calendar, a personnel slate, surplus designation for obsolete items and several finance agreements.
Key approvals:
- Agenda and minutes: The board approved the meeting agenda and the minutes of Jan. 28, 2025.
- School calendar: The board approved the 2025–26 school calendar as the single education item on the agenda.
- Personnel: The board approved seven personnel items grouped together under the personnel agenda. The items included an unpaid leave, four resignations (dedicated building substitute; FBLA advisor; track and field coach; administrative assistant), after‑school ACE program staffing and a study‑hall monitor. A board member asked whether someone would accompany FBLA students going to Hershey; the board noted Dr. Kasky will do so.
- Facilities: The board approved designation of surplus/obsolete items.
- Finance (other items): After debate on the Babbitt’s items and the cooperative athletics topic, the board approved four additional finance items: an IDEA Part B use‑of‑funds agreement, an internet and DDOS access contract, a marching band show contract (05/2025), and a corporate sports agreement. Questions about the lacrosse cooperative agreement were discussed prior to the vote; athletic staff explained classification, eligibility and cost‑sharing mechanics.
All of the listed motions were approved by voice vote. The meeting record shows “aye” votes and no roll‑call tallies were given for these items.
Ending: The board announced upcoming meetings on Feb. 25 and March 11 and adjourned. Several board members urged continued public engagement on volunteer opportunities, and staff described volunteer clearance requirements and plans for family engagement events such as career fairs and math/literacy nights.
