Summary
The Tredyffrin-Easttown board recorded multiple unanimous votes on April 28: the consent agenda (including personnel actions and donor gifts), CCIU budget contributions and marketplace services usage, and two policies (first reading). All recorded votes were 9-0 unless otherwise noted.
The Tredyffrin-Easttown School District board recorded a series of unanimous voice votes at its April 28 regular meeting at Conestoga High School. Key actions approved 9-0 included the consent agenda (grouped approvals), budget-related items submitted on the consent agenda from the Chester County Intermediate Unit, and first-reading approval of two personnel-related policies.
Consent agenda and personnel The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote (ayes have it, 9-0). Among items highlighted after the vote were two personnel matters approved on the consent agenda: the employment of Jessica McCloskey in an athletic/trainer role and the internal transfer of Dr. Jacqueline Rothera from T/E Middle School assistant principal to supervisor of community and student services. The board also acknowledged gifts donated by parent-teacher organizations: Beaumont Elementary received picnic tables valued at $5,515; a digital sign valued at $4,000; flexible seating and instructional materials valued at approximately $16,000; and a set of walkie-talkies valued at $600. The donations were noted during the meeting and are recorded with the consent actions.
Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) budgets and services During committee reports the board considered CCIU items that were placed on the consent agenda and approved as part of the grouped motion. The board’s fiscal report included CCIU core services contributions (district share reported as $71,903) and the occupational education member contribution (TESD share reported as $924,875, a $21,000 increase or 2.3% from the prior year). The committee also noted projected marketplace-services usage of roughly $6,000,000 for next year; the packet indicated an increase in marketplace services rates but did not provide a single line-item percent in the meeting transcript.
Policies: first reading The board approved two policies on first reading as ready for adoption at a future meeting: Policy 4032 (separation for cause) and Policy 4460 (tenure). The board voted 9-0 to accept both policies on a first-reading basis; the policies will return for final adoption at a subsequent regular meeting unless further revisions are made.
Other procedural votes The board also approved the motion to adopt the proposed final 2025–26 budget authorization amount (see separate article). All recorded roll-call or voice votes shown in the transcript were announced as unanimous (9-0) during the meeting.
Documentation and next steps Items approved on the consent agenda are recorded in the board packet (see referenced page numbers in the public materials). Staff said any items needing further board discussion can be removed from future consent agendas and addressed as separate agenda items. Final adoption of the district’s 2025–26 budget and any tax-rate action are scheduled for the June meeting cycle.
