Saucon Valley board approves policies, IU20 contract, personnel actions and donations

The Saucon Valley School Board approved several motions on March 10, summarized below.

IU20 Applied Behavior Analytics Contract: The board voted to award the IU20 contract for applied behavior analytics services after a motion and second; the motion carried by voice vote.

Policies: The board completed the second and final reading of Policy 005 (organization/committee structure) after debate over committee term language and enforceability. A roll‑call vote was recorded and the policy passed (ayes recorded; split votes documented in the minutes).

Personnel: The board approved eight personnel items including a transportation administrative assistant, a registered behavior technician, family‑medical‑leave and position transfer items, spring 2025–26 athletic coaching assignments, resignations for a bus driver and a paraprofessional, and a lighting and sound technician. The motion was moved and passed by voice vote.

Donations: Two donations were accepted — a six‑tier wired shelving rack with wheels for the Saucon Valley Music Connection, and 53 area carpets donated by the Saucon Valley Elementary School PTO to be placed in classrooms by April 2026. Both passed on voice votes; board members publicly thanked donors and PTO volunteers.

Other motions on the consent/agenda passed by voice votes during the meeting (agenda approval, minutes approval, payment of bills, treasurer’s report). Where recorded, roll‑call tallies were entered into the minutes for contested votes.
