The Great Valley School District board approved a set of financial and program motions at its December business meeting, including a four‑year contract with Right at School to provide summer camps and, starting the 2026–27 school year, before‑and‑after‑school child care.

Under the terms presented to the board, Right at School would provide summer camp services and before/after care from July 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029; the district said the company won the contract after an RFP process. The board asked about contract oversight and performance tracking: a board member asked what metrics and monitoring would be used over the four‑year term. Dr. Gofredo, the district superintendent, said his office will be the primary contact, will coordinate with communications and building staff, and will provide regular updates to the board about enrollment and rollout. "We'll be looking for the enrollment numbers... we'll have updates from them as we begin this enrollment process," he said.

Board members were told the YMCA will continue as the district’s before/after provider for the current school year; Right at School’s before/after care is scheduled to begin in August 2026. Dr. Gofredo told the board the district chose the vendor in part because the pricing is "considerably more affordable."

In the consent and finance package the board also approved an Act 1 budget resolution to not exceed the Act 1 index of 3.5%, a foreign trip insurance package covering 1/1/2025–1/1/2026 at a cost of $3,995, a kiln replacement for Charlestown Elementary at $7,927.75, and two special education agreements. The personnel package included a memorandum of understanding with the Great Valley Education Association authorizing compensation for a collective bargaining member to serve as an assistant athletic director; the MOU runs through June 2026.

Facilities items approved included a contract with BrightView Landscapes to provide snow‑removal services for the district office property at 100 Lindenwood Road after a change in property ownership required a new agreement. Monthly facilities use and enrollment reports were provided for board review.

Votes on the discussed consent, financial, personnel, program and facilities items were recorded as unanimous where tallies were given (several motions were announced as passing with a 7–0 outcome). The board also adopted the recommended 2026–27 calendar, including a recommended start in the week of Aug. 24 to avoid extending the school year into late June, and discussed the district’s snow‑day approach: the district will use two traditional snow days in the recommended calendar (with flexible instruction days considered thereafter) to limit pushing staff return into late June.

The public meeting concluded with no public comment recorded; the board adjourned and entered executive session after the votes.
