Greensburg Salem board approves routine minutes, personnel, budgets and contracts
Summary
At its April meeting the Greensburg Salem School District board approved prior minutes, personnel appointments including three high school coaches, the 2026–27 food service budget and several contracted services; the board also approved an Act 93 agreement and a comprehensive plan after a 7–1 roll‑call vote.
The Greensburg Salem School District board approved a slate of routine business and personnel matters at its April meeting, including the minutes of its March 11, 2026 meeting, multiple contract items, and the 2026–27 food service budget.
The board moved to accept the minutes of the March 11 meeting, then approved financial report items 3.1–3.7 and the bill list for items 4.1–4.4 by voice vote. On personnel, the board approved recommended hires and ratified three head‑coach appointments: Alexis Rit (high school cheerleading), Lisa Menkins (girls basketball) and Jeffrey Nice (boys soccer). The coaches’ appointments were recorded on a roll‑call vote; the transcript records the motion as carried with eight affirmative votes.
In finance business, the board approved finance item 10.1 (West Morland intermediate unit closet). That motion was recorded by roll call because the item involved individuals and passed 5–3. The board then approved the district’s 2026–27 food service budget. Meeting materials and the presentation showed projected food service revenue of $1,868,662 and a projected net bottom line (profit) of $23,759; the district noted the food service contractor guarantees coverage of losses up to the guaranteed amount.
The board considered several contracted services items (11.1–11.5) with members recording votes for certain subitems individually as requested; most contracted services on the consent agenda were approved, with the minutes noting exceptions recorded separately for specific subitems. The board also approved the Act 93 agreement for the term July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029 (item 11.6).
On a policy matter, the board approved the district comprehensive plan (item 17.1) after discussion and a roll‑call vote that the transcript records as 7 in favor and 1 opposed. One member explicitly voiced concern about aspects of the board’s emphasis on workforce development during the debate.
The meeting concluded with reminders about upcoming board discussion (May 13) and voting (May 20) meetings and several informational items, including athletics and a district One District, One Book initiative.
