Summary
At its May 7 work session, the North Allegheny School District board voted unanimously (8 present, 1 absence) to approve a motion to purchase a parcel described as intended to improve access to and from Peebles and possibly add parking; details of the property and purchase terms were not specified at the meeting.
The North Allegheny School District Board of Directors voted May 7 to authorize the purchase of a parcel described by board members as likely to improve access to and from Peebles and to add potential parking.
Board member McClure, speaking during the work session, called the opportunity “an awesome opportunity for the school to purchase some property that will, greatly enhance our, access to and from, Peebles and perhaps even add some parking there.” There were no members of the public registered to speak on the item.
The board handled the item as a single voting matter. A board member moved the motion and another seconded; the motion passed by voice vote with eight board members present and one absence. The board did not provide property identifiers, purchase price, seller name or financing details during the discussion.
The approval occurred during the board’s voting-item segment after the chair opened the floor for public comment and, finding none, asked for a motion. Following the motion and brief comments from McClure and another board member who identified themself as a Peebles parent, the board closed the vote and announced the item passed unanimously among members present.
The district did not provide a timetable or additional details about next steps at the meeting. No contract terms, closing dates or funding source were stated on the record.
