The Central Valley School District board voted on a slate of routine items on Nov. 20 and rejected a separate debt-related resolution in a 4–4 roll call.

Resolution 2026-04, described in the agenda as "proving the incurrence of debt by the board of school directors of the Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit number 27 as the operating agent of the New Horizon School," failed on a recorded vote. Board members recorded these votes: Mister Ambrose — No; Mister Anilai — Yes; Missus DeCenzo — No; Mister McDonald — Yes; Mister Moab — Yes; Mister O'Neil — No; Mister Ross — Yes; Mister Bloom — No. With four votes in favor and four opposed, the motion did not pass.

Other agenda items listed by the chair were approved. The board approved the Oct. 16, 2025 minutes by voice vote and confirmed several October payables and reports, including a general fund payment of $2,220,086.69, cafeteria fund payments of $98,665.28 and a construction fund payment of $26,996. The Board also approved participation in the Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (PLGIT) under Resolution 2026-05 and authorized the superintendent and business manager to execute related agreements and account actions per board policy.

The board adopted an administrative move to receive NSBA's BUCS claims administration via Interstate Tax Services, to begin Jan. 1, 2026, at a prorated annual cost of $4.50 per employee for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year (as presented on the agenda). The board also approved a tax exemption request for a veteran-verified property at 108 Olivia Drive, Manaka, PA, effective for taxes due on or after Oct. 30, 2025; that exemption will be reviewed every five years to confirm eligibility.

After completing the business and public comment, the board adjourned to an executive session for budget and student matters and indicated no final action would be taken in that executive session.
