Coatesville Area School Board approves staffing contract, financial statements and HR items; tables yearbook MOU
Summary
At its Sept. 23 meeting the Coatesville Area School Board approved financial statements, a contract with Delta T Group for contracted staffing services and personnel actions, and voted to table a yearbook memorandum of understanding until an October meeting; board members also heard public comment on cyber academy staffing and local development.
The Coatesville Area School Board on Sept. 23 approved a series of routine and substantive items, including district financial statements, a contract for contracted staffing and multiple human-resources items, and voted to table a yearbook memorandum of understanding for further clarification.
A finance committee representative recommended approval of the financial statements and the bills-payable list and asked the board to approve them as presented. During the discussion the committee representative said the district had no year-to-date income from the state ‘‘except for a small amount for non-educational programs’’ and that ‘‘the state is currently, dollars 73,000,000 behind in what we had budgeted for them to allocate to the district.’’ The board approved the financial statements by roll call.
The board also approved a contract between the district and Delta T Group to provide contracted staffing services intended to help fill vacant paraprofessional positions and support special-education staffing. Board members asked whether the district had previously used Delta T Group and were told this is the first time the district is contracting with that vendor. The contract was approved by roll call.
On personnel matters (Letter P), the board approved a package of resignations, appointments, new positions, leaves of absence, transfers and status changes. Several board members took time during discussion to thank departing coaches and teachers who were listed in the HR report; the board clarified that some coaching departures are effective retroactively and those positions will be vacant for upcoming seasons.
Members raised questions about a proposed memorandum of understanding to shift yearbook adviser units across campuses and about student charges tied to that change. After discussion a motion to table the yearbook MOU was moved, seconded and amended to set the tabling for the October special board meeting. The motion to table passed by roll call.
All formal motions described above were approved by recorded roll-call votes during the meeting. The board also announced it had met in prior executive sessions to discuss confidential personnel matters, collective bargaining, student matters, safety and security, attorney-client privileged matters and pending litigation or docketed matters.
