Coatesville Area School Board approves contracts, personnel and special-education agreements
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Coatesville Area School Board approved routine finance and personnel items, awarded several construction and service contracts, and approved two Valley Forge/Vanguard special-education agreements (one with an abstention). Several items passed by roll call; expenditures and contract amounts were disclosed.
Coatesville Area School District Board of School Directors on June 24 approved routine financial and human-resources reports, awarded several operations contracts and approved two special-education enrollment agreements for the 2025-26 extended school year and school year, the board announced during its regular meeting at the district Learning Center.
The board unanimously approved the minutes from the previous meeting and a consolidated consent agenda of routine items, followed by separate roll-call approval of the monthly financial statements and the human-resources report. The board approved a change order for roof duct curbs and HVAC roof units at Scott Middle School totaling $182,319.94, awarded an electrical contract for the senior high school natatorium light project to DK Construction Services LLC for $165,000, and approved a professional-services contract with Cowen Township for the Reesville Elementary School sidewalk repair project.
Two special-education items from Valley Forge Educational Services/Vanguard School were approved. The first (listed as agenda item M, an ESY agreement addendum for specified student IDs) passed with one abstention from Marin Yako. The second (agenda item N, a 2025–26 enrollment agreement addendum A) passed with one abstention by Liran Jaco.
The decisions were recorded by roll call. For example, the board approved the financial statements following the vote sequence read aloud by the secretary. The personnel report — covering resignations, appointments, new positions, leaves of absence and status changes — was likewise approved by roll call. The board closed business and adjourned the meeting after public comment.
The approved contract amounts and summaries presented during the meeting match the figures disclosed on the record: $182,319.94 for the Scott Middle School roof/HVAC change order and $165,000 for the natatorium lighting electrical contract. The Cowen Township professional-services contract for Reesville sidewalks was approved as a follow-on to an earlier fee agreement the board had previously authorized.
