Board confirms personnel hires, coaching appointments and district staffing items
Summary
The board approved personnel recommendations including coaching assignments for 2026–27, hiring of a full-time custodian pending clearances, and approvals for ABC Transit operators and activity sponsors; most positions are contingent on background checks.
The Ambridge Area School District board approved a slate of personnel items covering coaching assignments, custodial and transportation staffing, and activity sponsors for the 2026–27 and 2025–26 school years.
Mr. Gil presented personnel recommendations that included coaching assignments (volunteer and paid positions) for football, boys soccer and girls tennis, pending required clearances and screenings. The board also approved the hire of Andrew Doyle as a full-time custodian at Economy Elementary School pending receipt of clearances, satisfactory drug screening and TB testing. The district also recommended approvals for operators, attendants and maintenance personnel for ABC Transit Incorporated for the 2025–26 school year, and various club/activity sponsors with pay per the collective bargaining agreement when activities resume.
The transcript notes coaching assignments, the conditional nature of hires pending Act 168 clearance and related checks, and that the board approved the personnel items by roll call. A stated stipend amount for one assistant coach in the transcript was unclear; the meeting record did not provide a precise, unambiguous dollar amount for that stipend. Where the transcript lacked precise figures, this article reports them as not specified.
Why it matters: these approvals set staffing for athletics, custodial coverage and student transportation for upcoming terms. Many hires are conditional on required background checks and screenings, which the board noted.
Next steps: pending clearances and screenings, the district will finalize hires and coach assignments; payments and stipend rates will be administered consistent with the collective bargaining agreement and district procedures.
