Votes at a glance: Wissahickon School Board approvals on March 3, 2025

At its March 3 meeting the Wissahickon School Board approved multiple agenda items by voice vote. The following list summarizes each formal board action recorded in the public transcript. Where the transcript lists agenda numbers but does not provide contract text or financial totals, the entry notes "not specified." All items were approved with no recorded opposition in the meeting's public portion.

- Agenda item 10.2 (referred to as a parololist settlement agreement between the district and the family): approved. The board solicitor said there were no changes since the prior discussion and the board approved the settlement by motion and voice vote.

- Agenda items 11.1 through 11 (board secretary report): approved as unchanged from Monday's review (transcript lists the range as "11.1 through 11"); details not specified in the public transcript.

- Agenda item 12 (board treasurer report): approved as unchanged from Monday; details not specified in the public transcript.

- Agenda items 13.1 through 13.5 (Human Resources report): approved. The HR report included resignations, retirements, appointments, a leave of absence, extracurricular changes, volunteer additions and an added contract for administrative support to cover a middle-school leave; item 13.5 represents that additional contract. Exact personnel names and dollar amounts are in the agenda packet, not transcribed in public remarks.

- Agenda items 15.1 through 15.3 (Curriculum & Technology): approved as reviewed at last week's meeting; item 15.4 was not included.

- Agenda item 16.1 (landscape maintenance contract): approved; transcript indicates it was reviewed at the prior meeting and unchanged.

- Agenda item 16.2 (high-school stadium bleacher project): approved. (Also covered in a separate item in meeting coverage due to substantive board discussion about cost.)

- Agenda items 17.1 through 17.3 (Finance committee items): approved. The items were the financial reports for January, payments for the same month, and the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit budget contribution from the Wissahickon School District. The finance committee also announced a second budget workshop for the 2025-26 budget.

For each item above, the transcript records motions made and seconded and voice votes recorded as "Aye." The transcript does not provide roll-call vote tallies or dollar amounts for contracts and settlements in the public remarks; those details are in agenda backups or procurement documents.
