Pottsgrove board approves treasurer’s report, personnel actions, YWCA after‑school program and PDE grant
Summary
At its meeting the Pottsgrove School District board approved the treasurer's report, amended May report, personnel items 7.1–7.7 as amended, a YWCA six‑week after‑school program, the 2024–25 PDE feminine‑hygiene product grant, and omnibus education items 9.2–9.5. Votes were recorded by voice and motions were carried.
The Pottsgrove School District board approved a series of routine financial and personnel actions and authorized new student programming during Wednesday’s meeting.
The board first approved the treasurer’s report after a motion and second. A subsequent motion accepted the amended April/May 2024 treasurer’s report. The board then approved personnel action items 7.1 through 7.7 as amended (the high‑school piece was removed from the online agenda because the information for those musical positions arrived too late).
The board also voted to accept agenda item 8.1, a six‑week after‑school partnership with the YWCA that will be run out of the Lower building; district staff said details such as exact dates and transportation are still being worked out. "It'll be a 6 week program with the YWCA. Brand new to Potts Grove," said Steve Ansbach, the district's director of athletics and co‑curricular activities.
On education items, the board approved the 2024–25 PDE feminine‑hygiene product grant program (item 9.1). A board member supporting the motion said, "being a teenage girl is tough enough," and welcomed state support to provide necessary products in schools. The board then approved items 9.2 through 9.5 by omnibus motion.
Most motions were moved and seconded on the floor and carried by voice vote; the minutes record "Aye" with no roll‑call tallies provided in the transcript. No formal roll‑call vote totals were given in the meeting transcript for these items.
