Trustees approved monthly financial reports, several vendor contracts (DynaTek maintenance, Harnish Electrical, IC Excavating, Riverview Mechanical) and a three‑year dual‑enrollment MOU with Commonwealth University offering reduced‑cost college credits to students.

At its Dec. 15 meeting, the Solanco SD Board approved routine financial reports and a bundle of contracts and agreements in a single meeting.

Miss Tucker presented November financials: general fund receipts totaled $12,188,373.50 and disbursements were $6,380,549.27, yielding a net increase for the month of $5,807,824.23. The capital project fund and cafeteria fund reports were also presented and approved.

Contracts and vendor awards approved by the board included:

- A DynaTek annual maintenance agreement for the building automation system (24 service hours per year) at an annual fee of $3,875, with hourly rates for additional work. - An electrical contract for Swift Middle School cafeteria upgrades awarded to Harnish Electrical Service for $19,285 to wire new kitchen equipment. - A directional drilling contract awarded to IC Excavating LLC for $6,540 for a new electrical line. - Hot water tank replacement projects at Quarryville Elementary and Swift Middle School recommended to Riverview Mechanical for $41,900; trustees discussed technical concerns (unit sizing and potential short‑cycling) and staff agreed to follow up before installation details are finalized.

Doctor Dangler presented a three‑year MOU with Commonwealth University (Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield) to provide students access to reduced‑cost college courses (example price cited: $380 for a 3‑credit course). He said 5–6 students were already enrolled for the upcoming spring semester under relevant agreements, and trustees approved the MOU.
