The Mill Creek Township School Board approved multiple consent and personnel items during its April 27 meeting, adopting grouped motions for instructional items, personnel and finance contracts by voice vote.
Under Instruction and Student Services, the board approved five items including a field trip to the Esports State Championship (5.01 — 25 students to Crescent, PA, May 31; transportation cost $1,000), the district's three‑year special‑education plan for 2026–2029 covering 1,315 students (20.5% of the district), a revision to the Barber National Institute service agreement, a TSELC therapeutic social‑emotional learning classroom contract for 10 seats at $27,000 per seat (total $270,000), and a one‑year Letter of Agreement with Grafton Integrated Health Network to train one additional employee as a crisis‑intervention trainer.
The personnel and policy slate (6.01–6.14) was approved as presented.
