Board reviews consent agenda: personnel moves, transportation hires, cafeteria reports and facility-use agreement
Summary
The board reviewed a consent agenda that included personnel approvals, retroactive transportation hires, cafeteria financial reports, approval to serve as mass care centers with county emergency management and the American Red Cross, a $500 stipend for a preschool teacher supervisor, and several athletics and facilities items.
The Mifflin County School District Board reviewed and recommended approval of a multi-item consent agenda covering minutes, financial reports, cafeteria bills, personnel, transportation hires, and facility-use agreements.
District financial officer Mrs. Knepp (or Knecht, as referenced in the record) said there was nothing unusual to highlight in the monthly reports. Under personnel, the board considered a $500 stipend for Frank W. Miller for supervision of a teacher in the Pre-K Counts classroom at Panda Preschool and Daycare for the 2025-26 school year; the stipend is paid by the daycare to help the teacher achieve Level 2 certification.
Transportation items recommended hiring Jody L. Weaver (Christ Transportation), with a start date retroactive to Sept. 8, and Kelly Jo Keller (Rhodes Bus Company), retroactive to Sept. 15. The board also reviewed cafeteria financial reports for August and a recommendation that first responders receive free admission to a Dec. 13 boys and girls basketball doubleheader and use of the Midland County Middle School gym on Dec. 14 and Dec. 28 for elementary wrestling events.
The board also reviewed a standard annual agreement to make district facilities available as mass care centers during disasters with the county emergency management agency and the American Red Cross as part of the district's all-hazards emergency operations plan; the superintendent described it as an annual document the district approves to support disaster response.
Board members discussed an item to exonerate the county treasurer from collecting rollback taxes on a parcel sold to a local volunteer fire company. Board member Mr. Stoltzfus said he believed the exemption was automatic and moved forward under that assumption; staff and legal counsel (Attorney Gaynor) clarified that the rollback tax exemption depends on the taxing bodies and is not automatic in every case. The transcript shows discussion but no roll-call vote or final disposition recorded in the published portion.
Several consent items and board-action items were discussed in sequence; the transcript does not include a public roll-call tally for final approval in the captured excerpt.
