Summary
At its April 10 meeting the McKeesport board approved multiple consent agenda groupings, accepted the resignation of a board member, authorized a resolution regarding Penn State Greater Allegheny, and approved student-discipline resolutions and personnel items (including a new assistant principal).
The McKeesport Area School District Board of School Directors voted on multiple consent packages and individual actions during its April 10, 2025 meeting. Key votes and outcomes are summarized below.
- Agenda modifications: The board amended the agenda to add two items under Board Matters: (4.7) acceptance of the resignation of board member Dan Gogenauer, and (4.8) a resolution regarding the potential closing of Penn State Greater Allegheny. The motion to amend the agenda carried by roll call.

- Penn State resolution (4.8): Motion to authorize acceptance of a board resolution regarding the possible closing of Penn State Greater Allegheny and to authorize the solicitor to send the resolution and a letter to Penn State. Motion carried by roll call.
- Consent group votes: The board approved the following consent groupings by roll call with no separate discussion recorded for each grouping in the meeting audio: - Board items 4.2–4.5 by consent (motion passed). - Curriculum items 5.2–5.3 by consent. - Facilities/food service/transportation items 7.2–7.7 by consent. - Finance items 9.2–9.8 by consent. - Personnel items 11.2–11.4 by consent (including hiring of a new assistant principal; board congratulated the incoming assistant principal, Mr. Dimarski, and noted he is a McKeesport graduate).
- Student discipline resolutions (listed on agenda as resolutions 14 28, 14 20 9, 14 30, and 14 31): The board voted to approve the listed student-discipline resolutions by roll call.
Where individual roll-call tallies or mover/second attributions were not read into the record, the meeting audio recorded the chair calling for "All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries." If the board’s official minutes provide individual vote tallies or mover/second names they should be sourced for publication. The district did not read the full text for the Penn State resolution or provide full language for the student-discipline resolutions during the public audio.
