Hempfield board lists $5 million grant request for HVAC, approves audits, and logs small donation
Summary
The Hempfield Area School District agenda includes a resolution (No. 315) requesting up to $5 million from the Commonwealth Financing Authority for HVAC work, approval of the district's MD&A and audited 2024–25 financial statements, acceptance of a $5,200 donation, and authorization to settle a tax assessment appeal.
At its Feb. 16 working meeting the Hempfield Area School District placed several finance items on the agenda, including Resolution #315 requesting a Public School Facility Improvement Grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority not to exceed $5,000,000 for an HVAC project.
The agenda also lists motions to approve the district’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and the audited financial statements and Single Audit Report for the 2024–25 fiscal year, as submitted. Those documents are identified as required inclusions in the district’s audited statements.
Additional finance items on the agenda include accepting a $5,200 donation from Matt’s Maker Space, Inc., authorizing Elizabeth Sattler with Weiss Burkardt Kramer LLC to settle a real estate tax assessment appeal with ACCB Greensburg RE, LLC for one parcel (tax year 2026), and approving a bid receipt from the Westmoreland County Tax Claim Bureau in the amount of $1,592 related to property in the district’s Unsold Property Repository under Section 627 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Act (72 P.S. 627).
The agenda indicates these actions are recommended for board approval; the public document does not include the roll call or final vote outcomes for these specific finance items.
Where the agenda specifies funding sources, the HVAC grant would be a separate Commonwealth Financing Authority application (not district funds), while other items such as paving contracts listed elsewhere in the agenda are shown to be paid from the District’s General Fund or the GOB 2022 Fund as noted.
