Loading...
Summary
The Avon Grove School District board approved its consent agenda 7–0, including multiple contracts and service agreements (Siemens card/fire alarm work, Ecotrol HVAC services, Precision Fire Protection sprinkler inspections and others) and approved bill lists by roll call. Several items were moved from committee to the legislative agenda for final approval.
The Avon Grove School District board approved the consent agenda and a set of business‑office items on March 26 by unanimous roll call. The actions included approval of bill lists, routine financial reports, personnel items, minutes and multiple service and maintenance contracts that had been recommended by committee.
Business‑office items presented included bill lists for 02/12/2026–02/25/2026 and 02/26/2026–03/11/2026, the treasurer’s report for January 2026, budget transfer summaries, additions to the 2025–26 approved bus‑driver list, and several service agreements. Facilities and safety proposals moved from committee to the legislative agenda tonight included a Siemens proposal covering card replacements and a fire alarm panel device inspection; one proposal was noted at $10,872. The board also approved an Ecotrol service contract for planned maintenance and recommissioning of middle‑school building automation (annual cost noted as $5,007.80 billed quarterly), a Precision Fire Protection Incorporated sprinkler inspection agreement, and an Ehrlich pest‑management maintenance agreement.
Administrators said the Siemens and related proposals cover testing, semiannual visual inspections and detector sensitivity testing for more than 1,200 devices across multiple buildings. Construction work (middle school roof and Penn London vestibule) was discussed with anticipated board approval in April and construction to begin at the end of the school year.
A motion to approve the listed business items was moved, seconded and passed by roll call as "Motion passes 7–0." The consent agenda was subsequently approved 7–0 with draft policy 8‑20 (social media) pulled for separate discussion.
Separately, administration requested board authorization to include a NovaCare athletic training services contract on the March 26 legislative agenda; the contract would transition the district from in‑house trainers to NovaCare outpatient rehab east to provide three full‑time trainers covering practices, home and away varsity football games and postseason coverage. The administration moved that contract for inclusion on the legislative agenda at tonight’s meeting; final contract approval will be recorded as part of the legislative agenda process.
