At its regular meeting, the Centerville-Abington Community Schools board approved the purchase of three replacement maintenance trucks and adopted routine consent and personnel items, all by unanimous voice votes recorded in the meeting.
The board voted to accept the consent agenda after a motion by a committee member; Chair closed public comment and called for the vote, which was recorded as "passes 4 0." Committee member then moved to approve the purchase of three trucks to replace aging maintenance vehicles (years cited in discussion: 1999, 2006 and 2009). Mister Stevenson said the district expects to pay for the vehicles from a geo bond currently shown as $300,000 and that vendor pricing was in the meeting packet. The board approved the truck purchase by voice vote (recorded 4-0).
Motions later in the meeting approved an additional employment report, two donations and an added professional development request; each motion was approved by voice vote and recorded as 4-0. Committee member initiated the motions for the employment report and professional development items.
