At its Feb. 11 work session, the Central Valley School Board reviewed routine business and several items slated for board action, including the district calendar, inter‑district agreements, a revival resolution for a county authority, and multiple personnel actions.
The treasury report presented confirmatory payments for January 2026: a general fund payment of $3,503,611.52 and a cafeteria fund payment of $18,865.02. The presenter noted there was no construction fund payment for January and presented the Bergheimer (treasurer) report for approval.
The chair previewed agenda motions that the board will consider on the consent or action docket: approval of the 2026–27 Central Valley School calendar; approving articles of agreement between the Beaver County Career and Technology Center and 14 participating districts; adopting Resolution 2026‑09 to authorize filing a municipal statement with the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth to revive the Beaver County Special School Authority retroactively for 50 years; authorizing execution and filing of the district’s municipal statement of revival; and appointing Mister Ross as the district representative to the Beaver County Special School Authority board.
Instruction and special‑education items included staff development requests, an agreement to enroll one student in the Watson Institute Social Center for Academic Achievement (WSCA Swickley program) for the 2025–26 school year at a stated cost of $65,219 per student, and updates to the high‑school program of studies for 2026–27.
Personnel items listed multiple resignations (Maria Morris, paraprofessional, effective Jan. 23; Laura Zemczyk, professional, effective Feb. 6; Melissa Hunter, high‑school teacher, effective Jan. 29), maternity leave and FMLA requests with employee ID references and approximate dates in spring 2026, and unpaid leave notices.
Technology staff proposed approving a buyback program for used Apple devices as part of the scheduled equipment cycle, with example low‑end rates cited (about $2.35 per iPad and $5.40 per MacBook) and the possibility of higher returns. Athletics and extracurricular items were presented for middle‑school sponsors, musical stipends (pending clearances), and building usage requests.
No formal votes on the listed agenda orders were recorded in the work‑session transcript; the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn moved by Mister Ambrose, seconded by Mister McDonald, and carried by voice vote.
