Board approves proposed budget posting, appoints treasurer and accepts two resignations
Summary
The board approved the proposed budget for public posting, appointed Jessica as board treasurer, accepted the resignation of an elementary principal, and accepted Dr. Vasquez's resignation effective June 30 with intent to convert his role to assistant superintendent under contract.
The Punxsutawney Area SD Board of Education approved the district’s proposed budget for public posting, appointed Jessica (surname not specified in the transcript) to the board treasurer position and accepted two personnel resignations.
Board members voted to approve the proposed budget (this action makes the proposed budget publicly available; the final budget will be adopted in June and may be amended before final approval). During discussion board members confirmed that the proposed budget includes staffing adjustments discussed earlier, including the potential cuts to aide positions noted elsewhere in the meeting. The board emphasized that final budget adjustments are possible before June.
The board also accepted the resignation of Nikki Nichols (elementary head principal) after adding the resignation as an urgent personnel item to the agenda; trustees voted to accept the resignation and expressed appreciation for her service. The board asked administration to post the vacancy promptly so it can be filled before the June meeting.
Separately, the board accepted the resignation of Dr. Vasquez as assistant superintendent effective June 30 and approved converting the current assistant-to-the-superintendent position into an assistant superintendent role with a contract rather than the prior act-93 arrangement. The board voted to change the job classification and contract status and approved that motion.
Votes on routine consent and financial items (payment of bills, personnel packages, building reports, etc.) were taken as listed on the agenda and carried without individual roll-call votes recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: administration will publicly post the proposed budget, post vacancies for the accepted resignations, and return a final budget for board approval in June.
