District solicitor hands district $193,000 tied to easements for upcoming construction projects
Summary
The district received a voluntary $193,000 payment from a developer in exchange for granting construction and permanent easements; the payment was turned over to the superintendent and will be designated for a specific use tied to the agreements.
The Schuylkill Valley School District received a $193,000 payment presented at the board meeting by the district solicitor. The solicitor said the payment was made voluntarily in exchange for construction easements and permanent easements for upcoming projects.
Solicitor counsel said the payment was delivered under the terms of a memorandum of understanding worked through over the summer and was handed to Superintendent Kat Tashner during the meeting. A board member thanked the donor—identified in discussion as Bud Ritenour of Ritenauer Trailer—for modifying plans to reduce impact on the school’s driveway and aesthetics. Administration said there is a designated use for the contribution and more details will be provided to the board at a future meeting.
Ending — The solicitor confirmed receipt of the check and the board will see future agenda items spelling out designated uses and any related implementation steps tied to the easement agreements.
