McKeesport Area SD board approves multiple consent items, acknowledges audit and student-discipline resolutions
Summary
At its March 13 meeting the board approved several consent blocks covering agenda items across committees, acknowledged receipt of the district audit for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, and approved a set of student-discipline resolutions; a personnel slate passed with one recorded no vote on an athletic hire.
The McKeesport Area School District board voted on multiple consent blocks and specific actions at its March 13 regular meeting.
Consent votes: The board moved and approved several grouped consent motions covering items from different committees. The board approved agenda items listed under "Board matters, approvals and policy" (items 4.2 through 4.4), "Curriculum/Special Education" (items 5.2 through 5.5), "Technology, Safety and Security" (items 6.2 through 6.3), "Facilities, Food Service, Transportation" (the items under that section), and "Legal matters/Contracts" (8.2 through 8.3). Each of these consent blocks was presented, motioned, seconded, and approved by roll call; board members responded "Aye" and the chair said, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally by individual names for those consent blocks.
Audit acknowledgment: Under finance, the board acknowledged receipt of the external audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The item was presented as acknowledgment of receipt and was approved by the board by roll call.
Student-discipline resolutions: The board approved a set of student-discipline resolutions identified in the agenda as 14-21, 14-202, 14-203, 14-204 and 14-25 (agenda formatting as read at the meeting). The board voted to approve the resolutions by roll call; the chair announced the motion carried.
Personnel: The board moved to approve personnel items listed for the meeting (items 11.1 to 11.2). During the roll call on personnel, one board member stated they were voting against a particular athletic hire; the remainder of the personnel slate was approved. The motion carried with a single recorded no vote on that athletic appointment; the transcript does not provide the name of the board member who cast the no vote in the roll-call sequence.
Other actions: Additional agenda items across committees were put to a vote by consent and approved as read. No individual motions failed on the night’s agenda as recorded in public session.
No votes taken in the public-comment portion of the meeting changed policy or personnel beyond the items the board took up in its consent and personnel motions.
