Board approves consent agenda, personnel slate and payment of bills including $198,847.89 in charter payments
Summary
The board approved multiple consent and finance items — donations to the Upper Adams intermediate school and high school life skills class, Transfinder renewal, bus‑driver drug testing contract, bank depository designations, transport/renovation payments, personnel items, property surplus, a vocational internship agreement, graduation listing and payment of bills (charter school payments of $198,847.89 disclosed).
The board approved the consent agenda and a package of finance and personnel items after separate handling of the dental hygienist contract.
Business and operations reported donations (school supplies from Walmart for Upper Adams Intermediate and a portable sink for the high‑school life‑skills class), recommended Transfinder route‑management renewal, an agreement with WellSpan Occupational Health for random bus‑driver drug and alcohol testing, designation of ACNB and PSD LAF as district depository banks for fiscal year 2026, and a recommendation to establish a Stadium Improvement Fund account and related depository authority. Mr. Wallmer also noted a ductless HVAC purchase for the high‑school IT room proposed to come in about $600 under budget and a sublease agreement for the Cumberland Valley Area Career & Technical Center.
Board members approved a set of personnel items including three new hires, an elementary counselor job description, updated supplemental contracts, volunteer service acknowledgments, Aramark custodial/grounds contracted services and a Kelly Education substitute contract. The board also approved declaring certain science books and a high‑school kiln surplus because parts were unavailable for repair.
The board approved a vocational transition internship arrangement with a Gettysburg flower boutique to provide unpaid vocational experience for interested students. Members discussed liability allocation in the agreement; the transcript notes the boutique assumes some liability and the district retains a component.
The board recommended and approved the graduation listing for the Class of 2025 (the list kept in a sealed envelope until graduation) with approximately 137 students noted at the meeting.
At payment‑of‑bills discussion, a board member reported charter school payments this pay period totaled $198,847.89; the board then approved payment of the bills by roll call.
Votes: Consent agenda items, the remaining business & operations items (excluding the separately voted dental hygienist contract), personnel slate, property surplus, internship agreement and bills were each approved by roll call as recorded in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: Staff to implement approved contracts and accounts, finalize procurement as approved and maintain records of graduation approvals per established procedure.
