Board approves reorganization steps: hires, transfers and new coordinator roles
Summary
At the July board meeting the Schuylkill Valley School District approved resignations, multiple hires and transfers tied to a larger organizational restructure; most personnel votes were unanimous.
The Schuylkill Valley School District Board approved a slate of personnel actions tied to the superintendent's reorganization plan. The board accepted several resignations and approved appointments and transfers including an HR coordinator position, assistant director of finance, the elevation of the finance director to chief financial officer, and new buildings-and-grounds leadership.
Agenda items approved included appointing a Coordinator of Human Resources (hourly rate $39.13, effective 07/16/2026), Stacy Miller as assistant director of finance at an annual salary of $108,150 (effective 07/16/2026), and approval of Kristen Wallace as chief financial officer effective 07/27/2026 at an annual salary of $160,000 (pro-rated). The board also approved the transfer of Michael Catona/Capania (transcript shows variant spellings) from custodial supervisor to director of buildings and grounds at $90,000 annually and the transfer of Lorenzo Sinicola to buildings and grounds coordinator at $82,500 (both effective 07/28/2026). Motions to approve these items were recorded as carried (most with 7–0 votes).
The administration emphasized that some positions were being repurposed rather than eliminated and that the plan “does not furlough or eliminate any employees.” The board also approved the creation of a transportation coordinator position and eliminated the assistant director of business operations and the communications and digital media specialist positions as part of the restructuring.
Several additional teacher appointments and substitute staff for the 2026–27 school year were approved by vote during the same session. Board members asked clarifying questions about job descriptions; administration said job descriptions were included as attachments in the meeting packet and that final employment agreements would be prepared where necessary.
The board recorded compensation adjustments for maintenance supervisors and approved the adjustments for custodial supervisors (effective 07/28/2026). The meeting packet and attached job descriptions were referenced during questions and votes.
