Board approves multiple routine motions: change orders, MOUs, fuel bid authorization and grant agreements
Summary
The Mifflin County School District board approved a package of routine actions including reductions to field house contract costs (~$50,600), MOUs on coaching pay and auxiliary staff, authorization to bid propane/fuel for a three‑year term, and multi‑party grant agreements totaling $7 million in combined items.
The Mifflin County School District board approved a set of routine operational and contractual items at its meeting, voting to accept change orders, memorandums of understanding and authorizations related to procurement and grant funding.
Among the items approved, the board accepted two change orders reducing field house contract costs by approximately $50,600 because of unused allowances. The board unanimously approved an MOU with the Association of Mifflin County Educators to add new coaches and to adjust the base rate multiplier for ninth‑grade junior‑high assistant basketball coaches to 1.5 times the base rate, retroactive to the start of the 2025–26 winter season.
The board also authorized advertising and bidding for propane and fuel covering the fall 2025 through spring 2028 school terms and delegated authority to the director of building and grounds to award or reject bids on the day of opening. Members asked whether the district could account contract language for price swings, and operations staff explained typical procurement practices and fuel logistics.
Additionally, the board approved three interrelated agreements tied to local and academy funding: a cooperation agreement with the Mifflin County Board of Commissioners and two related contracts providing funding (agenda items referenced $3,000,000 and $1,000,000 amounts) for county‑level and academy support. All items were approved by roll call.
Vote details: the motions were moved, seconded and carried by roll call with affirmative votes recorded for the board members present. The board did not record dissenting votes in the meeting minutes.
What’s next: staff will post the bid documents and report back the results of the fuel bid opening to the board; contract change orders will be reflected in the capital project records.
