Board approves routine business, personnel and curriculum items; flexible instruction days approved 8–1
Summary
On May 19 the East Penn board approved minutes, personnel items, business operations and a flexible instruction days application; the flexible instruction days motion passed 8–1. The board also appointed PSBA delegates and filled secretary and treasurer roles.
The East Penn School District board held a series of routine votes Monday, approving minutes, personnel actions, business operations items and other recurring approvals. The board also approved a flexible‑instruction‑days application by an 8–1 margin.
Key votes and tallies recorded in the meeting minutes: - Approval of minutes for the April 28, 2025 meeting: roll call recorded “9 ayes.” - Personnel approvals (hiring/retirements): passed by roll call, “9 ayes.” - District bills and treasurer’s report: approved by roll call, “9 ayes.” - Annual business items (contracts, agreements and donations): approved by roll calls (multiple votes recorded as 9 ayes). - Flexible Instruction Days application: approved with 8 ayes and 1 nay after brief board comment; one board member explained the “no” vote as a preference to maximize in‑class time rather than rely on virtual instruction days.
Other business: the board appointed three delegates to the Pennsylvania School Boards Association delegate assembly for October 21 — board members Kelly, Ford and Levinson were named — and reappointed administrative roles: Ms. Allen as board secretary and Mr. Salz as treasurer (roll calls recorded 9 ayes on those items). The board also accepted multiple retirements announced by the superintendent and acknowledged community donations to school programs.
The meeting record shows no contested policy adoptions on second reading; several policy items are scheduled for a later third reading. The board adjourned following announcements about an executive session and the district’s Memorial Day closure.
