EPSD Board Meeting - October 12, 2026

At its October 12, 2026 meeting, the East Penn School District School Board received an informational presentation on 10 proposed high school courses, including Project Lead the Way biomedical science, AP cybersecurity, an introductory AI and vibe-coding course, media production, food studies, and weightlifting. The proposals were not up for approval at this meeting; the board was told action would occur at a future meeting. The presentation noted the district had qualified for a $14,000 Project Lead the Way grant to support teacher training and initial participation costs, and anticipated covering ongoing costs through existing budgets and pursuing further grants. No additional teaching staff were anticipated, and some courses would use existing or specified instructional platforms; no vendor contract or purchase amount was presented.

The board approved a consent agenda covering district bills, the treasurer’s report, contracts and agreements, facility use, budget transfers, and student activity fund appointments, but the transcript provides no specific contract awards, vendors, or dollar amounts for those items. It also approved educational conferences and personnel items. A discussion about access to policy resources resulted in agreement to compile historical policy news bulletins in a shared document; no procurement-related policy change was identified.
