Riverview board approves HVAC change orders, a five-year IUP affiliation and multiple personnel actions
Summary
The board approved capital change orders for school HVAC work, a five-year affiliation agreement with Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and multiple personnel items including paraprofessional resignations, substitute hires, and coaching appointments; staff noted amounts and timelines in the motions.
The Riverview School District Board of Education approved several operational items Feb. 3, including capital change orders for HVAC work, a five‑year affiliation agreement with Indiana University of Pennsylvania and multiple personnel actions that included resignations and coaching appointments.
A motion under item 5a asked the board to "approve the following change orders and or invoices in conjunction with the Riverview Capital Improvement Project," listing a capital expense for junior–senior high HVAC work by Oz for $25,000 and HVAC work at Verner Elementary for an amount reported in the transcript as approximately $34,034. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
Under item 5b the board approved an affiliation agreement with Indiana University of Pennsylvania for five years, beginning February 2025 through February 2030; the motion was moved, seconded and carried.
On personnel (motions 9a and 9b) the board accepted resignations of paraprofessional staff with effective dates noted in the agenda, approved substitute hires through Precision HR Solutions pending certification requirements, granted unpaid leave under board policy for specified paraprofessionals, approved the hiring of an IUP intern for the athletics department (Logan Shanti), and accepted the resignation of girls' soccer head coach Shawn Abraham. The board also approved a set of athletic coaches and volunteers for the 2024–25 school year, pending clearances; motions were moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The capital change orders advance scheduled HVAC improvements at two schools and the IUP affiliation secures a formal five-year partnership; personnel actions fill coaching and substitute roles needed for the remainder of the school year. The amounts and agreement term were read into the record and approved by the board.
Procedural note: Motions and approvals were recorded by voice; the transcript does not provide a complete roll-call tally for each vote. Where dollar amounts are read into the record they reflect the board's stated motion language; in one instance the transcript's figure for Verner Elementary was spoken in a way that was not fully clear and is reported here as presented in the record.
Next steps: Capital work will proceed per the CIP contracts and the administration will process hires and necessary clearances for substitutes and coaches.
