The Hazleton Area School District Board approved item 46, appointing multiple paraprofessionals for the 2024–25 school year with salary and benefits governed by the HAE SPA contract. The motion was moved by Mr. Bonomo and seconded by Mr. Shemanski and the board recorded approval for lettered entries A–D while entries E–K were noted as abstentions by Dr. Childs; letters L–N were removed from the agenda.

Hasden; Brianna Seneip Antosh; Tamar Carolina Guzman; Angel Rose Sladek and others. The board chair asked newly hired staff in the audience to identify themselves and welcomed them.
A board member summarized the item as "Regent by board appoint the following to the position of 6 and a half paraprofessional for Hazleton Area School District for 2024–25 school year salary benefits as per the HAE SPA."
