Wyoming Valley West board approves routine items, notes McGinley resignation

The Wyoming Valley West School District board approved prior meeting minutes and a set of routine consent and finance items during its Dec. 17 regular meeting, and the chair called attention to the resignation of board member Mister McGinley.

Board members made and seconded a motion to accept the Nov. 12 regular meeting minutes, the Nov. 25 special meeting minutes and the Dec. 3 reorganization meeting minutes; the chair said the motion carried. The board subsequently voted by roll call to approve the district’s general recommended action items 1–20 and staff recommended action items 1–12; recorded responses on the roll calls in the transcript show unanimous 'Yes' votes from the members present.

The chair also highlighted item 18 in the general recommended actions, noting it records the resignation of Mister McGinley; the transcript references the resignation but includes no further details about an effective date or whether a replacement will be sought. The finance committee’s recommendations — acceptance of bills for payment, the finance manager’s report and the treasurer’s report — were likewise approved by roll call with unanimous 'Yes' votes.

The board received a brief buildings-and-grounds update that included progress on closing documents for a local project referenced as the 'site log' and discussion of a feasibility study that yielded multiple contractor quotes. The chair asked administration to invite interested contractors to the January meeting for presentations and possible engagement.

What’s next: The board will finalize committee assignments in January and hold its next work session and regular meeting on Jan. 14 at 7:00 p.m.
