Summary
The board approved minutes and routine consent items, financial statements, human-resources actions (including plans to refill middle-school coaching vacancies), MOUs for CTE partnerships, a Moose Lodge rental for Junior Achievement, and a $154,957 change order for Doe Run Elementary water-main insurance.
At its Feb. 24 meeting the Coatesville Area School District board moved through multiple routine and committee items with roll-call votes.
Minutes from the Jan. 27, 2026 meeting and the Feb. 10 special meeting were approved by motion and roll-call vote. The board approved the consolidated consent agenda after several items were pulled for separate discussion (including the Lincoln Center/TLC proposal, which was discussed and approved after Q&A). The finance committee’s recommended financial statements and bills-payable list were approved as presented.
The human-resources report — including resignations, appointments, leaves, transfers and corrections — was approved. Board members confirmed several extra-duty coaching resignations (eighth-grade boys lacrosse, eighth-grade girls lacrosse and eighth-grade track) and said the district will advertise to refill those positions.
Education committee items passed, including memoranda of understanding to expand career and technical offerings (Octorara/CTE collaborative) for district high-school students. The board approved a rental contract with the Moose Lodge to host Junior Achievement culminating events for eighth graders; the district previously approved approximately a $40,000 grant for Junior Achievement and the rental covers space costs for the event.
In operations, members approved a change order from Borough Construction to cover an insurance cost associated with a revised water-main extension at Doe Run Elementary for $154,957; staff explained the district could not include that extension in the district insurance program and therefore must pay the insurance cost separately.
The meeting concluded with community announcements, student recognitions and adjournment.
