The Mechanicsburg Area School District Board recorded a series of unanimous approvals during the Dec. 9 meeting. The motions listed in the treasurer’s packet and other consent items were moved, seconded and recorded by roll‑call as unanimous.

What happens next: Approved items are recorded in the minutes and any contract/operational items will move to implementation by appropriate departments (finance, student services, transportation and curriculum coordinators).
