Board committees advance routine expenditures, contracts and program approvals to full board
Summary
Committees unanimously advanced a broad slate of routine items — financial statements, program staffing and vendor renewals, field trips, vendor contracts and small capital projects — to the full board agenda for final action.
Coatesville Area School District committees on March 10 moved a broad set of routine items to the full board agenda for final consideration. Highlights include:
- Finance committee: approval to forward financial statements and bills to the full board; recommendation to place the February 10 meeting minutes on file; approval requests to move the kindergarten Jump Start staffing (funded by the Coatesville Community Education Foundation), Act 93 non‑certified employee agreement (2026–30) to public review, a lease renewal with Chester County Intermediate Unit (Gordon School) at nominal rent for Head Start, and a Criticare nursing services contract extension for 2026–27.
- Education committee: forward Title I CRATE district renewals, NewsBank subscription renewal ($7,035), approval of multiple field trips including North Brandywine out‑of‑state plans and the Coatesville RaiderBots overnight trip to the Pennsylvania FTC Championship, a RaiderBots recognition and AP reader authorization for Michael Williamson, and various curricular contracts (Apex extension for credit recovery, PAES training and a five‑year PAES Scan app renewal).
- Operations committee: forward approvals for a senior high water‑heater replacement ($12,797.78), chemical‑waste project management and disposal services, a temporary 20,000‑gallon holding tank at Dorun Elementary ($115,661.65), Verizon Wireless lease for campus communications ($7,200 annually), monitor procurement (Riverside Technologies), dock ramp replacement as a safety project (cost TBD), and acceptance of a donated $25,000 Dick Sporting Goods Sports Matter grant for athletics.
All committee items were advanced by voice vote; where an item required further legal or policy review (for example, vendor contracts or the FC Delco LOI), committees requested follow‑up language or clarity before finalized board approvals. Administrators said detailed backup materials will be posted on the district website.
