Votes at a glance: Keystone Central SD renews solicitor, approves hires and sends revised budget to special vote
Summary
At the June 18 meeting the board renewed the district solicitor contract, approved a settlement agreement and several personnel and vendor items, rejected the Act 93 administrative plan, and failed to adopt a 3.5% budget — instead directing a rewritten 1.88-mill budget for a June 24 vote.
The Keystone Central School District board completed several formal actions at its June 18 voting session alongside a contested budget debate.
Key outcomes - Solicitor renewal: The board voted unanimously to renew David Lindseay as district solicitor. (Roll call: 8–0) - Settlement agreement: Approved following executive-session discussion (7–1; Mr. Miller recorded a no). - Acting superintendent contracts: Board approved contracts for an acting superintendent and an acting-superintendent designee; vote recorded in roll call. - Final general-fund budget (3.5% proposal): Failed on roll call (three yes, five no). The board then directed the business manager to prepare a revised budget reflecting a 1.88-mill increase and scheduled a special meeting for June 24 at 5:30 p.m. to vote on the revised budget. - Act 93 administrative supervisory plan (2026–2029): The item failed on roll call (two yes, six no) after debate about healthcare and contract language; board signaled the item will be revisited at the June 24 meeting. - Personnel and safety: The board approved the hiring of three security officers and retained two substitute officers at $20/hour to ensure school coverage; summer training was cited as a reason for prompt approval. - Contracts and procurement: Multiple bundled F-line items — including bills for payment, IT/security service renewals and vendor agreements — were approved as presented in roll-call votes.
What to watch next The business manager will prepare the revised 1.88-mill budget for distribution ahead of the June 24 special meeting. The Act 93 administrative plan and several items deferred for further review will also appear on that agenda.
