2026-10-12 MTLSD School Board Joint Discussion/Voting Regular Meeting

The Mount Lebanon School District Board regular meeting, held October 13, 2026 (the meeting title identifies October 12), included presentations on staffing/enrollment and district technology, followed by procurement and other agenda items. The board discussed a proposed River Arch naming-rights agreement tied to an approximately $410,245 donation for upper practice-field improvements, including lighting, electrical work, and road replacement; the project is contingent on municipal approval, and the district said it hoped to bring the agreement for a vote the following week. The board also considered an agreement with the Salt Factory as the 2026–27 ice-melt supplier at $13.33 per 50-pound bag, with an option to continue for two years. Other listed service agreements included Leaders in Learning for supplemental school psychology services, Turtle Creek Valley Community Services at $384.50 per day plus hourly related-service charges, Cara Mlesovich Psychoeducational Evaluations and Translations at $2,000 per evaluation plus specified additional fees, and Wesley Schools for special-education services at $29,736. The transcript gives recommendations or requests for approval but does not capture the vote outcomes on these items.

The technology presentation covered device and system support, cybersecurity and student-safety tools, and planned network and phone-system work; a previously budgeted core switch was awaiting implementation, while expansion of IP phones to additional schools was dependent on funding. The district also discussed an Act 168 applicant-disclosure software process costing a $500 setup fee and $5 per candidate. No procurement vote or final contract award is clearly recorded in the transcript. Other discussion focused on recruitment, staffing, enrollment, student trips, and PTA fundraising requests.
