Board appoints new member and approves business‑services contracts; tables transportation agreement
Summary
The Steelton‑Highspire School District board filled a two‑year vacancy, approved several business‑service agreements and a special‑education audit, and voted to table a student‑transportation contract pending additional information.
The Steelton‑Highspire School District board appointed Michael Pilsitz to fill a two‑year board vacancy, approved multiple business‑services agreements and a special‑education audit, and tabled a proposed student transportation contract for further review.
Chair introduced the single letter of interest from Michael Pilsitz and asked for questions; after a motion and second the board conducted a roll‑call and approved the appointment. The newly appointed board member then took the oath of office.
Administration recommended extending an agreement with PASCO to continue business administrative services; the board moved, seconded and approved the recommended extension. The board also approved a subsequent agreement with a business services provider listed in the record with variable spellings. Administration presented a special education audit proposal, which the board approved by recorded aye votes.
On transportation, administration recommended an agreement with a provider identified in the transcript as "Bucklewood Up" (spelling in the record varies). Board members asked whether a driver list would be provided; staff said they would double‑check. A motion to table the transportation agreement passed after discussion so staff could verify details.
The board approved a separate agenda modification to add and approve an agreement with Wessel and Company for business office support through June 30, 2026.
Motions were carried by roll‑call votes recorded during the meeting; the record shows the board voting "Aye" on the listed motions. The board did not adopt any policy changes at this meeting; the transportation item was continued to a future agenda pending follow‑up.
