Board approves consent agenda including curriculum additions and personnel actions
Summary
The board approved routine consent items including minutes, finance, disposal of materials, curriculum proposals for multiple CTE courses, and personnel matters; a board member asked for details on replacement of the school psychologist and a five‑year change‑order report for facilities projects.
The Shippensburg Area School District board approved its consent agenda covering items 4a–4f: approval of minutes, financial reports, disposal of certain music materials, curriculum approvals, personnel actions (resignations, transfers, appointments) and administration matters.
Administration recommended passing curriculum for small gas engines, production bridal science, companion animal care II, equine studies and veterinary science; the board accepted the curricular recommendations as presented. On personnel (item 4e), a board member asked whether new positions listed — including a learning support teacher and two emotional support teachers — are additional to the general fund budget; administration stated none of the positions are new to the budget. The board also asked about plans to replace the school psychologist; administration said the district would advertise and begin a search, noting school psychologists are difficult to find.
A board member requested a five‑year report showing change orders from completed district projects, including contingency allocations and amounts used; administration agreed to compile that report on request.
The consent agenda was approved by voice vote.
