Loading...
Summary
The board approved routine approvals (agenda, minutes, HR recommendations), the LIU general operating budget for 2026–27, and the 2026–27 district academic calendar; Christina Cooley was recognized for 20 years of service.
The Gettysburg Area School District board approved routine consent items (agenda, minutes from the 5th and the 20th, and human resources recommendations) and took several votes on district business.
Christina Cooley was publicly thanked for 20 years of service as a reading specialist and the board wished her well in retirement.
The board approved the LIU general operating budget for 2026–27 after administrators explained that some budget increases are tied to responsibilities moving back to the district (for example, bringing some special-education classrooms back under district oversight while the IU continues to provide certain supports). The vote on the LIU budget was recorded in the meeting as unanimous approval.
The board also approved the 2026–27 academic calendar following a brief discussion and recorded affirmative votes.
Items presented as information included an ACTI nursing agreement (25–26) that had been previously reviewed and is being re-presented with changes highlighted; the MOU to align the workday chart with the collective bargaining agreement was previewed and will be placed on the next meeting agenda for a vote after union member approval.
