Summary
The board unanimously approved consent agendas for curriculum and staffing/administration. The curriculum committee proposed four new clubs and a senior field trip to Ocean City, N.J.; the Lebanon County CTC reported an FAA drone-certification pilot and plans for a centralized application system.
The Palmyra Area School District board approved consent-agenda items for curriculum and for staffing and administration during its Dec. 18 meeting.
"I have a motion to approve the curriculum and Instruction Committee items as noted on the Curriculum and Instruction Consent Agenda," the presiding officer said; the motion was seconded by Ms. Holliman, and board members voted by voice. The president announced, “Motion carries.”
Later the board similarly moved to approve staffing and administration consent-agenda items, which had been presented in Ms. Gilligan’s absence with Mr. Loudounof filling in. The staffing report included a budget update, a state-subsidy comparison, review of change orders, and a note about an Arbiter Bay contract renewal.
In committee reports, Mr. Guy said the curriculum committee recommended four new clubs — astronomy, craft, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and ultimate Frisbee — and discussed the senior field trip scheduled for June 1, 2026, to Ocean City, New Jersey. The committee also reviewed the 2026–27 high school course catalog.
Andrew, reporting for the Lebanon County Career and Technology Center, said the CTC completed a successful pilot to offer two FAA drone-operation certifications (one of six schools chosen) and has received grant funding to support the program; the CTC is working on a centralized application system for students.
