Board approves personnel slate, early teacher agreement and routine purchases
Summary
The Northwestern Lehigh board approved personnel actions, an early collective bargaining agreement with the professional association, vehicle surplus sales, a block of IronPigs tickets ($3,905) for Northwestern Elementary and routine bill payments; several motions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
At its regular meeting, the Northwestern Lehigh School District board approved a package of personnel and operational items that the administration brought forward.
Personnel and collective bargaining: The superintendent presented agenda item 2.01 (personnel), noting several new appointments and that some candidates had not responded to inquiries; the board approved the personnel slate as presented. The superintendent also reported an early agreement with the district's professional association — a negotiated contract that the administration characterized as supporting continuity of services and morale — and asked the board to approve the associated agreement. The board approved that agreement by voice vote.
New hire: The board welcomed Jenny Huda as the new administrative assistant in the Weisenberg office. Huda identified herself as a Northwestern Lehigh graduate and said she was glad to return to the district.
Operations and purchases: The board approved offering surplus district vehicles for sale through the district bidding website. In finance, Northwestern Elementary was authorized to purchase a block of IronPigs tickets for a school night at the ballpark; the presenter said the purchase would come from student‑activities funds (the amount discussed at the meeting was $3,905). The board also approved bills and routine financial items by voice vote.
Digital agreement and other items: A previously discussed digital academy agreement (item 6.04) that had been on the workshop agenda was approved with no questions recorded.
Votes and implementation: Most motions were approved by voice vote with board members saying "Aye" and no recorded negative votes in the transcript. Where staff indicated follow‑up work (for example, vehicle bid listings or implementing revised ticket pricing), the board directed staff to proceed and report back as needed.
The meeting closed with routine committee and building reports and a motion to adjourn.
