North Penn SD board approves personnel, contracts and a grant application; recognizes students
Summary
At its June 2 work session the North Penn SD board approved personnel items, several contracts (including a noted $262,000 senior-class trip contract), student agreements and a resolution to apply for a PA DCED Public Safety Facility Improvement Program grant; the board also recognized North Penn Television students.
At the June 2 work session the North Penn SD board approved routine personnel items, consented to listed contracts, approved student agreements and voted to submit a resolution applying to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Public Safety Facility Improvement Program.
The board approved the personnel slate (item A) on a motion by Mr. Bell, seconded by Mr. McBain, by voice vote. It approved the contracts listed in the business office (item B) on a motion by Mr. Kaiser, seconded by Mr. Rash; during that item the chair noted a $262,000 contract with World Class Vacations for a senior-class trip and said that this iteration of the trip may be the last in its current form. Student agreements (item C) were approved on a motion by Mrs. Coin, seconded by Mr. Kaiser.
The board also approved (by motion of Mr. Bell, seconded by Mr. Kaiser) a resolution authorizing submission of an application to the PA Department of Community and Economic Development Public Safety Facility Improvement Program; Mr. Slaughter was identified as present to answer questions about the grant. All listed motions carried by voice vote; the transcript records the board saying "All those in favor say I" followed by "Motion carries," but it does not provide a roll-call tally.
Separately, the board recognized North Penn Television students—Ethan Fox and others—and applauded their work; the chair encouraged students to include district leaders in graduation photos. Earlier in the evening board members and students had raised a pride flag at the ESC, which members described as an expression of inclusion.
No additional details about the grant application (project scope, requested amount, or timeline) were provided in the transcript; copies of contracts and agreements were noted as on file in the business office or special education office.
