Board to name PSBA voting delegates and weigh new PSBA policy portal and agenda costs
Summary
Board discussed appointing up to two PSBA voting delegates (Jason volunteered) and reviewed PSBA's migration of policy management to a new portal; adding Keystone agenda would cost $2,000 versus the current agenda manager cost of $1,300.
The board discussed appointing voting delegates for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and reviewed upcoming changes to PSBA services that affect district policy and agenda management.
Why it matters: Delegates will represent the district at PSBA business sessions. Separately, PSBA will migrate districts’ policies to its new PSBA policy portal effective July 1; the district was asked whether to add the Keystone agenda feature at a cost of $2,000 to replace the current agenda manager.
Jason volunteered to serve as one delegate and board members discussed naming a second delegate. Administrators noted the PSBA voting will be a one-day event (Saturday at Cumberland Valley) rather than part of the multi-day leadership conference it formerly accompanied. "So would not not as big a commitment," a board member said.
Administrators said the PSBA policy migration is included with their all-access package and that adding the Keystone agenda would cost $2,000; the board was reminded the district currently pays about $1,300 for its agenda manager. The item will return for any formal procurement or budget decision.
What happens next: Board members said they will solicit interest for a second delegate and consider whether to add the Keystone agenda feature ahead of the July 1 migration.
