Several first readings and informational items were presented separately.
The Northwestern Lehigh School District board took a series of mostly routine actions at its March meeting. Items approved by voice vote or motion included calendars, policy adoptions on second reading, standard intergovernmental agreements and a range of program and rental contracts.
Key votes and outcomes (summary): - 2025–26 school calendar: Approved (board vote on motion to adopt the calendar; included a shift of middle-school conferences to January). - Policies (second reading and approval): Policies 611 (purchases budgeted), 612 (purchases not budgeted), 613 (cooperative purchasing), 614 (payroll authorization), 615 (payroll deductions) — approved on second reading. - Policy first readings (no vote required at first reading): Policies 202 (eligibility of nonresident students), 616 (payment of bills), 617 (petty cash), 618 (student activity funds), 619 (district audit) — presented for 30-day public posting. - Driver education (CLIU student driver-education agreement): Approved; program offered at no cost to the district; participation historically averages ~50 students annually. - DeSales University athletic rentals (softball/baseball): Approved for scheduled games (April events listed in packet). - Theater Works USA (elementary performance “Dot Dot Dot”): Approved; elementary-wide performance funded by student activities. - CLIU notices and intergovernmental agreements (special education): Approved routine notices and the intergovernmental agreement. - Bills for payment: Board approved the bills as presented.
Items presented but not voted on at this meeting: curriculum first readings (science standards update), the student-led conference pilot (informational presentation) and the budget update (informational). The sprinkler remediation project (facilities) was a separate action and approved to go out to bid (see separate article).
Vote method: Most approvals were taken by motion and voice vote; the public transcript records “all those in favor, aye” rather than a roll-call tally for many routine items.
Ending: Several routine contracts and calendar items were adopted as the district continues work on the budget and the curriculum adoption process.
