Board approves personnel moves, coaches and facility work; solicitor rate increase tabled
Summary
The Slippery Rock Area School Board unanimously approved a slate of personnel appointments, supplemental coaching hires, field trips, a consultation contract and gym door replacement; a proposed $5/hr solicitor rate increase was tabled.
At its March 9 meeting the Slippery Rock Area School Board approved multiple routine personnel and operational items by unanimous votes.
Personnel approvals recorded in the minutes included the appointment of Irene Heinsberg as a long‑term substitute for Jenessa Martin (beginning on or about March 27, 2026 through the end of the 2025–26 school year) on a motion by Board member Theresa Pearce and second by Board member Leslie Colosimo. The board also approved Olyvia Van Cise as a professional substitute (motion by Board member Mark Taylor, second by Board member Mara Hensel).
Athletics staffing actions approved on a motion by Board member Vito Pilosi, second by Board member Carl Aglio included hiring Dylan Sheeder (50% assistant baseball coach), Logan Lambert (50% assistant baseball coach) and Nathan Waugaman (assistant track coach), effective March 10, 2026; the board also approved volunteer track & field coach Matthew Ellenberger. Superintendent Dr. Alfonso Angelucci announced the earlier resignation of assistant baseball coach Matt Clippinger, effective Dec. 16, 2025; the minutes record the resignation as an announcement.
Operational approvals included adding 0.25 hours to the Moraine Elementary production worker position (from 4.5 to 4.75 hours per day), and authorizing Paul Cessar to provide up to 30 consultation hours at $50 per hour. The board approved multiple conferences, workshops and field trips scheduled through June 2026 (examples recorded in the minutes include PaTTAN Autism Initiative, Butler Co. SAP Coordination and a Cedar Point senior trip; the minutes list destinations and sponsoring staff but do not include full line‑item costs for every trip).
The board approved an affiliation agreement with Gannon University for student clinical placement and instruction, and a letter of agreement with Pressley Ridge. The board also approved the lowest quote for replacement gym doors at Moraine Elementary School.
A proposed $5 per hour increase to the contract rate for the district solicitor (Dillon, McCandless, King, Coulter & Graham) was brought forward but tabled (motion by Board member Vito Pilosi, seconded by Board member Carl Aglio); the minutes record the item as tabled rather than approved.
Votes recorded in the minutes for the above approvals were unanimous unless otherwise noted; the minutes do not list roll‑call names for each individual motion beyond stating the mover and seconder and that the motion carried unanimously.
