Board approves athletic-trainer supervisor, inter-district partnership, bills and tax-resolution
Summary
Greencastle-Antrim trustees approved a full-time Supervisor of Athletic Training, accepted Shippensburg Area School District as a Franklin Learning Center partner, and approved personnel items, bills and a tax-resolution at their Nov. 6 meeting.
The Greencastle-Antrim School District board approved a slate of operational and personnel actions at its Nov. 6 meeting, including creating a new supervisor position for athletic training, approving out-of-state professional development travel, formalizing an inter-district partnership, and adopting its budget-related tax-resolution.
Athletic training: The board approved the job title and description for a full-time Supervisor of Athletic Training after administrators reported Shippensburg PT, the district's athletic-training contractor, could not continue providing services. Superintendent Dr. Hanks said other districts are taking similar steps to bring athletic-training services in-house. The board approved the position by roll call; the motion record shows unanimous support.
Professional development: The board approved Title II-funded travel for six teachers (Megan Brockway, Josh Fritz, Christine Palmer, Katie McFadden, Megan Coker and Melissa Weingartner) to attend the National Council for the Social Studies national conference in Washington, D.C. The packet noted registration and lodging will be paid from Title II funds.
Franklin Learning Center partnership: The board accepted Shippensburg Area School District as a partner in the Franklin Learning Center after Shippensburg's own board approved its participation.
Personnel and payroll: The board approved personnel items listed as items a through h on the packet by roll call (8-0). The chief financial officer asked the board to approve bills for payment; the CFO reported general fund bills totaling "a little over 1,600,000" and student-activity bills of about $3,000. The board approved payment of the bills and then approved a resolution stating that real-estate taxes for the 2026-27 budgeting cycle would not be raised above the district's adjusted index of 4.4 percent; the CFO emphasized that the resolution does not mean taxes will be raised but sets an upper limit for planning.
Votes: Multiple items passed by unanimous roll call. The record shows eight board members voting in favor for the teacher travel, creation of the athletic-trainer position, the Franklin Learning Center inclusion, personnel items and the tax resolution.
The board did not discuss contract details for the athletic-training services at length during the meeting; administrators said Shippensburg PT would assist during the transition.
