Summary

The board authorized submission of Local School Infrastructure grant applications to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for five facility projects and designated Mark Digina and Joseph Lively as district representatives to prepare and submit the applications.

At a March 9 special meeting, the Colonial School District board authorized submitting applications to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Local School Infrastructure grant program for multiple roof and elevator projects and designated two district representatives to handle the applications.

Board member Jeremy moved "to approve the designation of Mark Digina and Joseph Lively as all parties representatives of the school district for the purpose of preparing, executing, and submitting grant applications and related documentation to the local school infrastructure grant program administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic and Economic Development." The motion listed five projects for submission: PW Life School roof replacement and elevator, CES roof replacement, Bridge Park roof replacement, White Marsh Elementary roof replacement, and Kachahocken roof replacement.

Chair Gail Petruno asked for a second and for questions. Superintendent Dr. Christian explained that one requirement to apply is a board motion approving the application and said the application is due later in the week; he framed passage of the motion as the step required to meet the deadline. The chair then called for 'all in favor,' and the board approved the motion as presented.

The transcript records the projects proposed for the grant applications but does not specify requested funding amounts, application attachments, or which department will lead each project. No opposing votes or roll-call tallies are shown in the record.
