Motion to remove family cap fails for lack of a motion amid budget uncertainty
Summary
A proposal to remove the family cap on activity fees was discussed at length and Superintendent Holland asked the board to consider removal, but Action Item A failed for lack of a motion; board members said final borough and state budget numbers are needed before making such a change.
Board members discussed removing the family cap on activity fees after reports from high schools indicated uneven impacts across schools. Mr. Graham reported KCHS had the most reported family-cap cases and said Superintendent Holland asked the board to review removing the cap, but he cautioned that final borough and state budget numbers are still unknown.
When the board reached Action Items, the motion to remove the family cap (Action Item A) failed for lack of a motion, leaving the cap in place for now. Board members noted the possibility of pursuing an individual cap in lieu of a family cap if removal were to be considered, and emphasized the need for final budget figures before making binding changes.
