During its April 21 meeting the Hopewell Area School District board passed a series of routine and substantive motions including budget approvals, personnel hires, facility-use agreements and procurement motions.
Key approvals recorded in the meeting transcript:
- Beaver County Career and Technology Center 2026–27 general fund budget: $8,512,832 (motion passed). The board clarified Hopewell’s share is a portion based on participating students.
- Payment of bills A–C and ratification of payments D–E (motion passed).
- Settlement and release agreement with 'Vestus' (motion passed). The numeric amount as read in the transcript appears garbled as '$3,14022'; the audio transcript did not permit a clear dollar reading and the amount is noted as unclear in meeting minutes.
- Ratification to purchase parcel 65-184-0148000000 by Thomas Hearnney from the Beaver County Repository, with delinquent taxes exonerated (motion passed).
- PSBA membership for 2026–27: $17,588.17 (motion passed).
- Temporary summer cleaning staff approvals: non-district employees at $15/hour and current district employees at $17/hour (motions passed on roll call votes).
- Multiple personnel items approved by motion: hires (coaching positions, cafeteria substitute, staff accountant, mechanic, IT assistant), volunteer nurse for an eighth-grade field trip and acceptance of resignations and a termination noted in the record.
- Facility use requests approved: parking lot use for Parkfest, a bicycle safety event, youth football camp dates, and junior-high PTA pool use.
All motions recorded in the public meeting transcript show "motion passes" or a roll call in which board members voted yes; the transcript does not include dissenting vote tallies for the items listed.
