Board places multiple hires, retirements, policy readings and safety mapping proposal on the agenda
Summary
Board members placed numerous personnel actions (coaching supplements, substitutes, hires, retirements), curriculum and program renewals, policy readings, and a $26,967.50 mapping system proposal funded by a PCCD grant on the agenda for further consideration.
The Connellsville Area SD board placed several routine but substantive items on a future agenda.
Personnel and athletics: The board placed requests to add numerous supplemental coaching positions for 2025–26 on the agenda, including junior varsity baseball assistant coach, varsity football assistant coaches and several track assistant/head coaches. The board also placed multiple conditional approvals for additions to maintenance and cafeteria substitute lists contingent on successful background checks, and accepted placement on the agenda of confirmed hires and retirements (examples from the transcript: a teacher retirement effective 06/01/2026 and a cafeteria employee retirement effective 03/31/2026).
Curriculum and purchases: The board placed proposed curriculum renewals and purchases on the agenda, including a 3P Learning renewal for reading at $16,157.10, a Mystery Science bundle at $10,896, and Voyager Sopris Learning mathematics materials and training at $25,115 to be paid from EITC and federal funds, all pending solicitor review and standard district terms and conditions.
Policy and nominations: The board placed second readings (policies 239 bullying/cyberbullying and 339 uncompensated legal) and first readings (policies 202, 236.1, 254 and 607) on the agenda. The board also placed on the agenda a nomination for John Betweil to serve as the Eastern Region trustee of the Allegheny County Schools Health Insurance Consortium.
Safety: A proposal (transcribed as from "Bridal Response Group") for a mapping system in the amount of $26,967.50 to be paid from PCCD grant funds was introduced; the packet contains a memo explaining how the system works and the board placed the proposal on Wednesday's agenda.
Most of these matters were placed on the agenda after the chair heard no objections; the transcript does not record final votes on these items in the excerpt provided.
