Summary

Finance reviewed multiple contracts (LearnWell, LinkIt renewal, Seesaw, credit recovery and cyber education), approved new student activity accounts, noted a legal‑services rate change and agreed to accept a $6,000 bid for a small county repository parcel with $359.10 in back taxes.

The Pennridge finance committee reviewed a slate of routine contracts, student activity accounts and a small county tax‑repository sale during its session.

Speaker 7 (Sean) described several contract items: LearnWell educational services for a student in a medical placement at $61.55/hour; Concord Theatricals backdrop rental ($5,412.86) and Lehigh Valley IronPigs field trip contracts. He also presented a LinkIt (Advanced Assessment Systems) renewal for $132,928 for the next school year; staff said the district purchases LinkIt modules a la carte and pays for components it uses. A three‑year Seesaw contract for elementary student portfolios was presented at $19,570 per year; staff explained Seesaw is an elementary‑focused portfolio tool distinct from Canvas.

Other contract items included Admentum/Apex learning courses for credit recovery ($5,897), Imagine Learning cyber education offerings, a settlement agreement for student 202615, and routine legal counsel rate updates from Sweet Stevens Katz & Williams (attorney routine rate increasing to $210/hour; non‑routine rate to $230/hour). Student‑funded DJ services ($450) and several other small vendor contracts were also listed.

Finance also reviewed four new student activity accounts at the high school (Class of 2029, Club America, She's the First, Rams for Vets) and advanced them for board approval.

Separately, staff presented a county tax‑claim repository parcel the county offered for sale: a 4,880 sq ft (0.1 acre) corner lot at Rich Hill Road and Massey Road in West Rockhill Township with a bidder offer of $6,000 and back taxes of $359.10; staff noted a telephone pole bisects the parcel but recommended approval to return the lot to the tax rolls. Committee members signaled consensus to send the sale to the board for action.

The finance committee will meet again per the district schedule to carry forward these items to the board.
