Finance committee forwards multiple consent items to full board after review
Summary
The finance committee voted to forward items including Open Parachute subscription, the Integra1 network upgrade (with E‑Rate expected to cover most costs), Act 1 resolution, CHA invoices, Keystone Fire & Safety payments and capital summaries to the February full board meeting; PowerAds contract was routed to counsel for review before committee reconsideration.
The finance committee approved a motion to forward a package of routine and consent items to the full board for consideration at the February meeting. Items the committee moved together included:
- Open Parachute subscription (second year of a three‑year agreement) for January–June 2026 at $14,000; the item will continue under pupil services budgeting. - Integra1 Cisco switch upgrade (Phase 2) with a gross cost of $256,249 and an estimated district share of $38,437 if federal E‑Rate funding is awarded. - The annual Act 1 resolution indicating the district will not raise taxes above the Act 1 index (5%), a formality required to preserve tax‑equity eligibility. - CHA invoices and property/facilities invoices (boiler and boardroom AV items) and Keystone Fire & Safety payments. - The district’s capital project summary for December 2025 showing several projects nearing completion (north natatorium roof 95%, Bushkill boiler 90%, JTL data‑network 97%).
The committee called for the PowerAds contract to be reviewed by counsel (Chris Brown) and returned to finance in February for a recommendation; that contract was not forwarded to the full board at this time.
The motion to bundle the consent items passed by voice vote. No formal roll‑call tallies were recorded in the committee minutes provided at the meeting.
