Hatboro‑Horsham work session: committee reports, referrals and adjournment
Summary
The board heard committee reports on curriculum, facilities and finance; several items (Simmons elevator award recommendation, a new capital project, the MCIU budget and the E‑Rate bid) were moved to the Feb. 23 legislative meeting for formal action; the meeting adjourned after a unanimous aye vote.
The Hatboro‑Horsham School District Board of School Directors convened a Feb. 9 work session that included committee reports on curriculum (special education plan and field trips), facilities (Simmons elevator project and a proposed capital project to relocate the life‑skills apartment) and finance (MCIU budget, E‑Rate Category 2 network bid and budget staffing projections). Board members and administrators discussed timelines, procurement steps and budget implications and moved several items to the Feb. 23 legislative action meeting for formal votes.
Key referrals forwarded to the legislative meeting: the administration’s recommendation to award the Simmons Elementary elevator project (base bid plus Alternates 1 and 3, recommended amount cited as $716,818), the recommendation to create a 2026 capital project for the life‑skills apartment and the E‑Rate Category 2 network bid award recommendation (lowest bid identified as NRI, $690,847). The district’s share of the MCIU budget was presented as $82,606 for 2026–27 and will be decided by individual board ballots at the legislative meeting.
The work session had no public commenters signed up, and the board adjourned after a motion and second by Madison Peace; the chair recorded an "Aye" and the motion carried. The board had recorded eight members present earlier in the meeting.
