Resident asks board to delay personnel action pending open‑records appeal
Summary
At the March 23 meeting a resident, Amanda OG, told the board a Right‑to‑Know appeal is pending before the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records and asked trustees to defer any personnel action until requested records (including internal communications and recordings) are produced and preserved.
During the first public‑comment period, resident Amanda OG said she is the subject of a proposed personnel action and that an active Right‑to‑Know appeal is pending before the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records. She told the board that the district had not produced responsive records within the statutory time frame and requested a deferral of any termination decision until the requested records — including internal communications, video and audio recordings — were preserved and made available for review.
"Proceeding with a termination decision while relevant records remain outstanding raises serious concerns regarding the completeness of the record before the board," Amanda OG said, asking the board to defer action and to confirm preservation of all potentially responsive materials.
The board did not take an immediate vote to defer. Later in the meeting the solicitor announced the board had met in executive session to discuss personnel items and consultation with counsel on a student and operational matter. The transcript does not record a public resolution on the specific deferral request; the superintendent and board acknowledged public comments and indicated a willingness to engage where appropriate.
The speaker identified the pending appeal to the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records as the forum for records review; no further documentary materials were introduced during the meeting.
