The Punxsutawney Area School District board approved a slate of routine items during the meeting, including minutes from the Oct. 7 meeting; athletic, transportation, buildings and maintenance, and cafeteria reports; federal programs and curriculum items; the superintendent's report and policy updates; building principal reports including donation/disposal of materials; the financial report; personnel changes and retirements; and payment of bills.

Approvals were made by motion, second and voice vote. Specific items noted in the meeting included funds for swim meets in the athletic report, a kitchen-project change order in facilities, authorization to advertise bids for cafeteria capital equipment, and a memorandum of understanding to secure LPN services from a vendor for nursing coverage. The board acknowledged retirements of Ruth Rend and Carolyn Zambori during the personnel report.

No contested roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; the chair called for each voice vote and motions carried. Board members praised staff and administrators during the routine approvals.
