Central Valley School District: Board approves routine items; debt resolution fails 4–4

The Central Valley School District Board of School Directors met Nov. 20, 2025 and handled routine business, approving minutes, personnel actions, several procurement items and investment authorization while a resolution to incur debt failed on a tie vote.

Board members approved the Oct. 16, 2025 voting-session minutes and accepted the treasurer’s report confirming October 2025 payments: $2,220,086.69 from the general fund, $98,665.28 from the cafeteria fund and $26,996 from the construction fund. The board also approved the October Berkheimer report.

The board considered five numbered agenda/policy items. Item 1, a voluntary agreement regarding student No. 2500021 subject to solicitor review, and items 3, 4 and 5 were approved by voice vote. Item 2 — Resolution No. 2026-04, authorizing the incurrence of debt by the board of school directors through Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit No. 27 as operating agent for the New Horizon School — was taken by roll-call vote and failed on a 4–4 split. Recorded roll-call votes were: Mister Ambrose — No; Mister Analai — Yes; Missus DeCenzo — No; Mister McDonald — Yes; Mister Moab — Yes; Mister O'Neil — No; Mister Ross — Yes; Mister Bloom — No.

Other approved items included enrollment in the NSBA Better Unemployment Compensation System (BUCS) with Interstate Tax Services Inc. as claims administrator effective Jan. 1, 2026, at $4.50 per employee prorated, and authorization for the district to participate in the Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust under Resolution No. 2026-05. The board noted attachments for each action and that solicitor review would be completed where required.

The board moved to executive session near the meeting’s end and adjourned afterward. No action was taken in executive session at that time.

The minutes and all attachments are recorded with the district; specific items reference attachments A–N as listed in the agenda.
