Berwick Area SD approves operating and final budgets and several hires; one member dissents on the final budget
Summary
The board approved the transcript‑recorded public operating budget ("2627" school year) and a final budget (transcript: "2647" school year) after roll calls; multiple temporary professional employee hires were also approved. One board member, Mr. H., recorded a Nay on the final budget citing transportation uncertainty.
The Berwick Area SD board completed routine business including approving the public operating budget and a transcript‑recorded final budget, and ratifying several personnel hires.
On the public operating budget for the transcript‑recorded "2627" school year, the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Mr. Yos, Mr. Taylor, Miss Phillips, Mr. Nespley, Miss Moyer, Mr. Lanning, Mrs. Huninger and Mr. Croo and Mr. H., each saying “yes” in the sequence recorded in the meeting transcript.
The board then moved to approve the transcript‑recorded final budget for the "2647" school year (the transcript records a figure expressed as "5836"). The roll call on that item recorded yes votes from multiple members and a single recorded no vote from Mr. H., who said on the record he opposed the budget because “there’s too much uncertainty in this budget for my transportation.”
Personnel motions were approved by roll call. The board approved hires recorded in the minutes: Carly Howard (temporary professional employee, kindergarten teacher), Stephy Parker (temporary professional employee, high‑school physical education teacher) and Kylie Kase (temporary professional employee, middle‑school special education teacher). Each hire was approved by roll call as recorded.
Where the transcript uses shorthand numbers for years and budget figures (for example, the meeting text records the operating budget as for the "2627" school year and the final budget as "2647" with an amount recorded as "5836"), the board’s recorded votes are reported here exactly as they appear in the meeting transcript; the transcript does not include expanded fiscal‑year labels or a dollar amount tied clearly to the indicated figure, so the exact fiscal calendar mapping and currency representation are not specified in the record.
No motions to amend those items appear in the recorded discussion; staff will reflect the required annual rebalancing in the minutes as part of the final budget process.
