Upper St. Clair board approves labor deal, personnel adjustments and several facility and contract measures
Summary
The board approved a five‑year collective bargaining agreement for bus drivers, salary adjustments for non‑represented employees, multiple staffing resolutions, contracts for band services, facility maintenance and refrigeration replacements, and ratified a public‑facility grant amendment.
The Upper St. Clair School Board voted on several business and personnel items during its Jan. 1 meeting, approving labor, staffing, contract and facilities actions required to run district operations.
Labor and personnel: The board approved a five‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Education Support Professional Association representing bus drivers and attendants, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The motion to approve the contract was made by Mrs. Hannah and seconded; the board voted in favor. The board also approved salary adjustments for 57 non‑represented employees (administrators, supervisors and central-office staff) and passed multiple staffing resolutions to reflect organizational restructuring, title changes and transfers.
Contracts and facilities: The board authorized two independent‑contractor agreements for marching band services (drill design and music arrangements) at capped amounts, approved a Co‑Stars contract to crack‑fill, sealcoat and repaint the Fort Couch parking lot (not to exceed $26,880), and awarded a Co‑Stars contract to replace two walk‑in freezers and one walk‑in cooler (total cost not to exceed $96,694.18) after repeated failures of aging equipment. The board also approved renewals for critical technology subscriptions (Microsoft, VMware, Eventbrite) through state/IU agreements to stabilize pricing.
Finance and grants: The board accepted the treasurer’s financial report for the period ending April 30, 2026, reviewed bill lists for multiple funds, and ratified an amended public‑facility grant to change the request amount to $4,571,831 (75% of an estimated $6,095,776 project to convert Streams from electric to gas), leaving a district match of $1,523,944.
Other approvals: The board approved several pupil‑service and special‑education vendor renewals, recognized a new flag‑football booster group, and accepted surplus equipment declarations.
