Board approves consent agenda items and several immediate contracts; Marshall/Roland closure votes moved to June 30
Summary
The board approved multiple consent agenda items and immediate contracts (including a summer Evolve Youth agreement, consultant contracts funded by PDE and grants, and subscription renewals). Closure motions for Marshall and Roland and adoption of the final budget/tax resolution were deferred to June 30 for formal votes.
The Harrisburg board processed a lengthy consent agenda on June 23, approving routine items across offices — academics, human resources, operations, business services and the superintendent — by roll call.
Several immediate‑action items passed by roll call votes: a summer Evolve Youth Trade Academy agreement (July 13–Aug 5, up to 25 students at $400 per student); a paid consultant agreement with Holland Sim Consulting (Ms. Yvonne E. Holland) for up to $50,000 to be PDE‑funded under recovery plan reimbursements; an extension for Trapeni Communications not to exceed $20,000; and an Arbiter sports‑registration subscription renewal (approximately $2,316.55). The board also authorized restorative practices professional learning and coaching funded by STOP and Title IV grants (approximately $85,000 and $98,000 respectively per the administration’s breakdown).
Separately, because one required school improvement posting had not met the 28‑day public notice requirement, the board rescinded approval of that item and moved the Marshall and Roland closure items and the final general fund budget and tax resolutions onto the June 30 consent agenda so the board can act after required notices and any additional staff reports. Administration confirmed River Rock (an AED‑Y provider) seats and contractual arrangements remain in place for alternative‑placement needs; administrators also emphasized collective bargaining staffing rules already notified for transfers and that keeping Roland open would require restaffing decisions before August.
What’s next: Formal votes on Marshall and Roland closures and final adoption of the 2026–27 budget and tax resolutions are scheduled for the June 30 meeting. Administration will supply line‑item backup and contingency staffing plans as requested by the board.
