The Scranton School District Board of School Directors completed three formal actions in a short meeting: it approved filing grants for school facility projects, ratified resolutions from a previously misadvertised meeting, and approved an agreement of sale for district land at 15 Forest Street.
Ratification of resolutions: The board ratified resolutions and actions taken at the board's 12/15/2025 meeting to remedy a misadvertisement of a newspaper notice after the meeting had been rescheduled from Dec. 8. The motion to ratify was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote of 7-0.
Property sale: The board approved an agreement of sale for property at 15 Forest Street at a sales price of $39,000.
