Penncrest board approves labor and administrator contracts pending solicitor review
Summary
Board approved a multi-year collective bargaining agreement with Penncrest Education Support Professionals (PESP/PSEA/NEA) and an Act 93 administrator agreement; both approvals were contingent on solicitor review where noted and included roll-call affirmation for the PESP contract.
The Penncrest School District board approved personnel items including a collective bargaining agreement with Penncrest Education Support Professionals (PESP/PSEA/NEA) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, pending solicitor review. The motion was seconded and carried; a roll‑call vote was recorded with board members indicating “yes” on the record.
Separately, the board approved an Act 93 administrator agreement effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, also pending solicitor review. Meeting discussion summarized key highlights of the agreements: revised salary increments (3% the first year and 1.5% thereafter for administrators), adjustments to vacation and sick-day rollovers, changes to health‑care plan options with a district-funded HSA match, and removal of certain central-office positions from union contracts.
Board members were briefed in executive session on personnel details prior to the vote; staff emphasized that some cost items are realized only at retirement or upon enrollment decisions, and that the agreements align with the district’s multi‑year personnel planning.
