Pottsgrove board approves routine finance, personnel and contract items; district enters NRG demand response program
Summary
The board approved routine finance and personnel items and authorized contracts including enrollment in a demand response program with NRG Energy and modernization of an elementary elevator.
The Pottsgrove School District board approved a slate of consent and action items on its agenda, including routine finance reports, personnel appointments and several contracts and agreements.
Key approvals recorded on the agenda and passed by motion and voice vote included student activity and cafeteria accounts for September 2025; the September 2025 treasurer’s report (filed for audit); multiple personnel items including a dean of students for the high school and intervention and support staff; and a settlement with Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School concerning 2016–2017 tuition costs.
The board also approved a contract with NRG Energy to enroll the district in a demand response program, which the operations committee said could bring in "approximately $20,000 or so, depending on the amount of electric reduction done." The board approved modernization of the elevator at Lower Pottsgrove Elementary; staff advised the software and parts are no longer serviced for the unit, with parts lead time of about 14–16 weeks and roughly five weeks for installation (about 20 weeks total) and planned replacement in summer.
Education items approved included early graduation for two students; a memorandum of understanding with Mission Kids to provide online safety training (the family online safety night was scheduled for Nov. 13); a memorandum of understanding with the YWCA for two middle‑school mentoring programs (Boys to Mentors and Girls in Charge); approval of one mentor teacher; and travel approval for four staff to attend the Pennsylvania Education Technology Expo and Conference in February 2026. The board also approved four district policies and two attachments listed on the agenda.
