Summary
At its May 27 meeting, the Tredyffrin‑Easttown School District board approved the consent agenda (8–0), certified Conestoga High School's graduating class, and approved Policy 1311 (classroom visits and school building tours) on first reading for adoption next month.
The Tredyffrin‑Easttown School District Board of School Directors on May 27 approved its consent agenda by voice vote and certified Conestoga High School's Class of 2025, while advancing a revised visitor policy to a second reading next month.
The consent agenda passed 8–0. During the same grouped action the board accepted the retirement of Dr. Oscar Torres, director of equity and public programs, and welcomed Dr. Kim Morris as the district's incoming director of equity and public programs. Later in the meeting the board voted to approve Conestoga's graduating class for 2025: the district will issue 599 diplomas and 10 certificates of attendance, for a total of 609 recognized students; that motion passed 8–0. The board also voted to approve Policy 1311 (classroom visits and school building tours) on first reading; the policy will return for a second reading and final adoption at the board's June meeting.
Board Vice President Sue Tidi presided over the meeting in President Kantorsik's absence; Dr. Amy Meissinger, Conestoga High School principal, presented the graduating-class numbers on behalf of the school. The solicitor announced required Sunshine Act disclosures; no additional public testimony altered the recorded votes.
