The Montoursville Area School Board approved a slate of agenda items on April 9, including personnel contracts, program approvals and vendor agreements.
The board voted to approve minutes from earlier meetings and accepted the treasurer’s reports and invoices for payment after a roll-call. During the roll call on the bills motion, each member registered an affirmative vote (Mister Albert, Mister Badger, Mister Eisenhower, Mister Gardner, Mister Hausnick, Miss McCloy, Missus Meyer and Missus Oberheim), with Mister Young recorded absent.
Key approvals included:
• A six-week Montoursville Area High School summer program to run 06/10/2024–07/26/2024.
• The district’s special-education plan for 2024–2027, which had been placed on the district website for public review prior to approval.
• A collective bargaining agreement between the Montoursville Area School District and the Montoursville Area Education Support Professionals Association, effective 07/01/2024 through 06/30/2029.
• Renewal of the nutrition-services contract for July 1, 2024–07/30/2025.
• Approval of the Lycoming Career and Technology Center operating budget for 2024–25.
• An agreement for student information software at an estimated enrollment cost of $33,722 for 2024–25.
• An agreement with River Valley Regional YMCA.
• Establishing a school activity club for volleyball for the 2024–25 school year; the item passed by voice vote after public comment supporting volleyball earlier in the meeting.
During public comment, resident Jack Callahan urged the board to create a girls’ volleyball program and said he supported the expenditure to get the program started. “I’m for this volleyball,” Callahan said in the public-comment portion of the meeting.
The board also approved a set of personnel items (agenda section 8.1 through 8.4) in a combined motion and accepted an enrollment-and-tuition waiver for an exchange student for 2024–25.
What’s next: Several of these approvals were routine or anticipated; the business manager and board will continue budget work and bring follow-up items to upcoming meetings.
