Board approves athletic director hire and authorizes superintendent to hire between meetings
Summary
The board approved the personnel report nominating Scott Gower as athletic director and passed a standing authorization allowing the superintendent to hire personnel between meetings in the start‑of‑school period; votes were unanimous.
The Abington Heights School Board approved the personnel report that included the nomination of Scott Gower for athletic director and subsequently passed a motion authorizing the superintendent to hire staff between board meetings for start‑of‑school needs.
Superintendent said a hiring panel unanimously nominated Scott Gower for the athletic director role and the board approved the personnel report by roll call. The board then approved a recurring authorization allowing the superintendent to hire employees (most often paraprofessionals or support staff) between meetings during the August to early‑September start period; the superintendent clarified teachers are rarely hired under this mechanism because Pennsylvania permits holding a candidate for 60 days.
Both motions passed by roll call with board members voting in favor.
