The Beaver Area School District Board approved its consent agenda (items 8.1 through 14.2) during the March 30, 2026 voting session, recording unanimous ayes from the nine directors present.
Key finance and contract approvals included acceptance of the E-Rate bid for managed broadband services with OA Systems, LLC in the amount of $84,752.50, contingent on a 50% funding commitment from the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC); the district's share of $42,376.25 will be paid from the 2026–2027 General Fund. The board also renewed the Food Service Management Company contract with Aramark Educational Services, LLC for 2026–2027 and approved renewal of Frontline Education absence and substitute management software for $10,451.25.
The board acknowledged grants and donations including a $2,100 grant from the Beaver Area Education Foundation for Spanish storybook and game materials and a donated 72-passenger bus from Frye Transportation. The board approved a $20,714 contract with Heenan Builds, LLC to retrofit the donated bus into a food truck for the Beaver County Borderless Beanery; that retrofit is fully funded by the Moonshot Grant.
Financial approvals recorded in the consent packet included General Fund invoices of $2,321,573.78, Food Service Fund invoices of $146,453.06, Activities Fund invoices of $5,372.06, and Athletic Account invoices of $3,141.00.
