Board hears administrative reports on STEM camp, assessment data and special education; approves routine fiscal items and a Lackawanna College agreement
Summary
Administrators reported on summer trainings, technology work, STEM camp registration, early assessment data and special‑education planning; the board approved routine fiscal blocks and the Lackawanna College pre‑college agreement paid by participating students.
District administrators presented routine reports and program updates, followed by fiscal consent items and a dual‑enrollment agreement vote.
Administrators highlighted summer work across departments: technology staff ran training on Microsoft Teams and Copilot, conducted a successful laptop collection and began summer device updates; curriculum leaders reported 64 students already registered for the July STEM camp and said early PSSA raw data had been distributed to principals and NextDay Data for benchmarking.
The special education department reported that the district’s special education plan was finalized and that GC Hartman received a Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) designation focused on achievement and attendance among students with disabilities; a board‑approved plan is due Sept. 1.
On fiscal items, the board moved to approve multiple invoices and block items (motions were made, seconded and carried on consent). The board also voted to approve a Lackawanna College pre‑college agreement; administrators said costs for that agreement will be borne by participating students, not by the district.
The meeting closed after a public comment from a resident asking about the district aviation program and internship opportunities if a local airport were sold; administrators described three aviation course levels and noted students can pursue drone operator certification as part of the program.
Several motions and consent votes are recorded in the transcript with board members responding 'aye' and the chair announcing motions carried; precise roll‑call tallies for every consent item are presented as multiple 'aye' responses rather than a single summarized tally.
