Summary
At its Dec. 17 meeting the Wyoming Area School Board approved routine finance items including payments to Intermediate Unit (LIU) and Westside CTC, ratified a general ledger totaling $1,430,157.64, and approved an amended agreement for a secondary-center rooftop unit not to exceed $305,000 pending final written approval by the district solicitor.
The Wyoming Area School Board on Dec. 17 adopted the finance report and approved multiple payments and an amended capital agreement for the district’s secondary center.
Board member Gutierrez presented the finance report, which the board approved by roll call. The board ratified payments to the Lackawanna Intermediate Unit (LIU) and Westside Career and Technology Center and approved other routine financial items as read into the record.
Among the approvals: a December payment of $82,733.60 to the LIU in accordance with the approved contract for special education services for the 2024–25 school year; a payment of $4,958.33 to the LIU for Lighthouse Academy dual-diagnosis services for 2024–25; and ratification of a December payment of $69,742.73 to the Westside Career and Technology Center for 2024–25. The board also approved a general ledger sheet totaling $1,430,157.64 as read into the minutes.
The finance report included approval of an amended agreement with a vendor identified in the meeting as “Centimeters 3” regarding a secondary-center rooftop unit, with a contract limit “not to exceed $305,000,” pending final written approval by the district solicitor. The board also authorized staff to issue a request for proposals for food-service management, subject to final review by the business manager, superintendent and district solicitor, and notified the Northeast Pennsylvania School District Health Trust of the district’s reservation of its right to withdraw participation under Section 5.4 of the trust agreement.
Treasurer Krasta provided account balances read into the record: General Fund, $4,613,839; payroll account, $6,711.21; cafeteria account, $67,433; student activities account, $167,222.59; athletic fund, $9,893.69; purchasing account, $500.70; Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust account, $147,645.60; Series 2022 GON account, $799,477.43. A money-market account figure was read in a garbled form during the meeting and should be verified in the official minutes.
The board approved the finance report by roll call. Several board and public members had no additional questions during the vote; board staff emphasized that certain payments were made under existing contracts for special education and career-technology services.
District staff said the rooftop-unit agreement requires the solicitor’s final written approval before the district will execute the contract and obligate funds.
