The North Pocono School District Board of Education on July 16 approved a package of personnel actions including leaves, a retirement, resignations, appointments and extracurricular assignments. Each motion related to personnel passed unanimously, 8–0, and the board removed one change-of-status item from the agenda for further discussion.
Board members approved listed leaves and accepted the retirement of Mr. Pierantoni; a board member offered thanks for his service. The board also accepted other resignations that were on the agenda and approved the slate of new appointments and extracurricular assignments as presented.
In an agenda revision before voting, Mr. Jennings asked the board to remove the change-of-status for Lita Dennebaum (agenda item H4) “so that further discussion can take place.” The chair made that motion and it was seconded; the revised agenda to be posted the following day will not include Ms. Dennebaum in H4. During the vote on the remaining changes of status, the board chair clarified that Dennebaum’s item had been removed from the edited agenda.
Why it matters: personnel decisions affect staffing and operations across the district for the coming school year. The removal of Lita Dennebaum from the H4 motion signals that the board or staff want additional discussion before approving that specific change.
Actions recorded: motions to approve listed leaves (8–0); accept retirement of Mr. Pierantoni (8–0); accept listed resignations (8–0); approve other changes of status with Dennebaum excluded (8–0); approve new appointments, extracurricular appointments and listed agreements (each motion passed 8–0). The record shows the edited agenda will be posted the next day without Ms. Dennebaum listed under H4.
Next steps: the board will post the edited agenda and may return H4 (the change of status for Lita Dennebaum) for further discussion at a future meeting. No additional conditions or amendments to the approved personnel items were recorded.
