Board approves furlough resolution and other personnel actions
Summary
The school board approved a furlough/nonrenewal resolution for professional teaching staff for 2026–27, along with listed resignations and retirements; administrators said notifications to affected staff will begin the next day.
The Steelton-Highspire SD board approved personnel reports that included a resignation, a retirement effective April 15, 2026, and a furlough resolution/nonrenewal of professional teaching staff for the 2026–27 school year.
Administration presented the furlough resolution during the personnel agenda; the board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call. A public commenter asked how and when affected teachers would be notified; a board/staff member (speaker 7) replied that notification will occur tomorrow and that templates for affected employees had been prepared.
Board members discussed coordinating with union leadership as part of the procedural and substantive preparation for the furloughs. The meeting record indicates administrators and certain board members had worked with union representatives to be 'procedurally and substantively' ready to implement the resolution.
The board took no further policy action tied to specific recall or reassignment processes during the meeting; staff said additional outreach and documentation would be provided to affected employees following the meeting.
