At its meeting on Thursday the Berwick Area School District board voted on a series of routine and substantive items.

The board handled many items by omnibus motions and roll calls, a common practice for routine approvals. Several personnel appointments and the MOU required individual roll-call votes, which are recorded in the meeting minutes.
Approved items will be implemented by the relevant district departments (finance, facilities, curriculum and personnel) and staff indicated follow-up actions where required (for example, posting the comprehensive plan for public comment and proceeding with long-lead equipment procurement for the facilities project).
