Summary
At its organizational meeting the Penn‑Trafford School Board elected leadership for the coming year, authorized administrative signatory actions, set the 2026 meeting calendar and named a legislative council representative; all motions passed by voice vote or roll call.
The Penn‑Trafford School Board elected Phil Kuchasi president and Dr. Brian Klein vice president during its organizational session Tuesday, approved a 2026 meeting schedule and named a legislative council representative.
Board members opened nominations for president and, after a voice vote, announced the successful nominee. Dr. Brian Klein was nominated and approved as vice president. The board then moved to establish dates, times and places for regular monthly board meetings and Superintendent Information Committee meetings for 2026; that motion carried.
The board also approved a motion authorizing the board secretary to use the assembly signature of the newly elected president and to file required documents with the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Separately, the board approved Mr. Jim Adaraza as the district’s legislative council representative and named an alternate as listed on the agenda.
These organizational actions were routine and carried by voice vote or roll call as called by the chair. No recorded roll-call tallies were read into the meeting minutes for the officer elections; the chair announced the outcomes at the meeting.
The organizational meeting was then adjourned and the board convened its regular business meeting at 7:12 p.m.
