Receiver Nichols called for and the board approved the minutes from the March 26 meeting. Later in the meeting the board approved grouped action items listed on the agenda: education A1–A16, personnel B1–B2, and business C1–C14. The transcript indicates these grouped approvals were announced as approved; the record does not show a roll-call vote or named mover/seconder for the grouped motions.
During public comment, Nishay (representing Missy Lago Universe) requested use of Chester High's gym (with a tarp to protect the floor) and auditorium for competitions and asked to be connected with athletic director Bill for follow-up. Alexa Dosa, philanthropy chair at 5 Sigma Sigma from Widener University, described a formalized partnership with the district that included hygiene kits, school supply drives, uniform donations and plans for an art scholarship.
