Board member proposes resolution to support Penn State Greater Allegheny remaining open; board will not vote this evening
Summary
A board member proposed drafting a resolution in support of keeping Penn State Greater Allegheny open; the board agreed to prepare the resolution for the next meeting and did not vote on it at the April 3 meeting.
A board member proposed on April 3, 2025 that the McKeesport Area School District board prepare a resolution in support of Penn State Greater Allegheny remaining open. Members moved and seconded the proposal but said they could not vote on it that evening and asked for a draft to be prepared for the next meeting.
Why it matters: Penn State Greater Allegheny is a regional campus of Penn State University; a board resolution expressing support would be a public statement from the school district but would not by itself change operations at the university. The board’s action at this meeting was limited to directing that a resolution be drafted for consideration at the next meeting.
What happened in the meeting: - A board member said, "I would propose a resolution for next week, in support of Penn State Greater Allegheny remaining open." Another member said, "So moved," and a second member said, "Second." The board then stated it could not vote that evening and asked for the resolution to be prepared. - During the exchange a person named Gary offered to help prepare the draft.
The motion to propose and draft the resolution was seconded, but no vote on the final resolution took place at the April 3 meeting. The board asked that the draft be ready for the following meeting.
