At the conclusion of the reorganization meeting on Dec. 1, the Marple Newtown School Board immediately convened its regular meeting and approved routine business including the 2026 calendar of meetings and the reappointment of the district solicitor.

A motion to approve the calendar of meetings for 2026 was moved and seconded and passed on the board's vote. The transcript records the chair announcing, “The ayes have it.” No public comments were received on agenda items.

The board then reappointed Mark Serini, Esquire, as solicitor under the fee structure presented; the motion was moved, seconded and approved on the record. The transcript shows motions from the Budget & Finance committee to approve items 11.02 and 11.03, and a vote was taken on those items. The Curriculum, Instruction and Technology committee and the Human Resources and Policy committee each submitted motions (including items 14.02–14.03) that were moved, seconded and approved during the meeting.

Those motions were routine committee approvals and did not generate substantive discussion recorded in the transcript. The meeting closed after brief remarks by the board president and a holiday message to staff and the community.
