Board approves interim assistant principal, appoints interim CFO as acting board secretary; personnel slate passes
Summary
The Boyertown Area School District board approved a CRES agreement to provide an interim assistant principal for Boyertown Area Senior High, appointed interim CFO Matthew Lentz as acting board secretary, and approved the personnel agenda; votes were recorded by roll call.
At the Committee of the Whole meeting on Aug. 26 the board voted on multiple personnel and administrative appointments.
The board approved an agreement with CRES to forward an interim assistant principal to Boyertown Area Senior High School (the contract names Gwen Malecki). Superintendent Dr. David Heizer introduced the item, saying the assistant principal role is needed for student management and safety while the district completes onboarding. The motion passed by roll call, 8–1. The roll call recorded a No vote from board member Miss Jiroff; all other members voted Yes.
The board also appointed Matthew Lentz (CEO, EDM Financials LLC) as the district’s acting board secretary effective Aug. 25, 2025, through Aug. 12, 2026, to cover the vacancy created after the former CFO’s departure. The administration noted that the appointment is interim and that a permanent CFO would assume board‑secretary duties once hired. The appointment passed unanimously by roll call.
Under the superintendent’s consent agenda the board named Lentz as the district’s delegate to the Berks County EIT tax collection committee (executive committee) and approved three donations including a road‑facing sign (approximate value $1,700) donated by the Boyertown Optimist softball group; the consent agenda passed unanimously.
The board approved the personnel agenda (new hires, resignations and other personnel actions listed in the packet). The personnel motion passed by roll call; the board chair announced the motion carried with eight votes in favor and one opposed.
Why it matters: the interim assistant principal fills an operational role at a large high school while the district completes onboarding; appointing an interim board secretary/CFO delegate preserves signing and business functions while the district searches for a permanent CFO. The personnel approvals put new staff and reassignments into effect.
The meeting record shows roll‑call vote details in the packet and audio transcript; administration will complete onboarding for the interim assistant principal and continue the CFO search.
