Littlestown Area SD board approves minutes, committee recommendations and tax-collector compensation
Summary
The board approved several committee recommendations, accepted minutes and approved a change to the tax-collector compensation effective Jan. 1, 2026; the tax-collector change passed on a roll-call vote with one recorded no vote.
The Littlestown Area School District board approved routine meeting minutes, several committee items and a change to tax-collector compensation during its meeting.
The board approved the record of the Dec. 9, 2024 meeting after a motion and second from Janelle Ressler. The curriculum and finance/property/supply committee reports for Jan. 7, 2025 were moved and approved by voice vote; board members moved that items a, b, d, h, i, l and m be approved together after limited discussion. On item d (a food-service RFP), one board member asked what would happen if the food-service coordinator position were vacant; staff replied that the business administrator would update state site application information.
On a separate item the board accepted gifts and delegated a donor-named scholarship to Mrs. Becker and the Thunderbolt Foundation (see separate article).
The board approved a change to the tax-collector compensation, with the new compensation effective Jan. 1, 2026. That measure was approved on a roll-call vote. The transcript records the following roll-call responses: “Nick Lovell: Yes; Phoebe Ewan: [recorded as present]; Janelle Ressler: Yes; Dwayne Sullivan: Yes; Carl Thompson: Yes; Steven Yerder: Yes; Danielle Gredeman: No; Brian Hoyer: Yes.” After the roll call the chair stated, “Thank you. Motion carries.”
Additional routine approvals included a maintenance plan item and the general operations budget resolution; the general-operations measure was moved and approved after a roll-call sequence recorded “Jeanie Ewan: Yes” and other affirmations in the excerpt.
