Coatesville Area School District Board Meeting 10/13/2026

Coatesville Area School District Board committee meetings, October 13, 2026, considered finance, education, operations, and policy matters. In finance, members advanced the financial statements and bills, the 2027–28 budget calendar, and school building budget allocations for materials (excluding staffing-related expenses) to the full board. They also advanced bundled commencement rentals: Collective Event Group’s $7,293 cost, with the district’s share listed as $3,646.50, and a B Audio Systems rental whose amount is transcribed as $76. The committee reviewed donations, including a $4,300 CCRES grant, a $4,948 contribution for a restorative welcoming space, and donations of shoes and school supplies. It also advanced an additional second-shift custodian position at Doon Elementary, consistent with an agreement to hire district employees rather than contractors for the need.

Education committee members advanced a proposed third-party equity and administrative coaching engagement, described as an added, initially unbudgeted expense, though no cost was stated. Other items advanced included an Anastasia production license contract for $875, CommonLit workbooks for $11,085 (identified as a recurring annual purchase), an EBS Learning Spire subscription renewal, online testing for $11,432.50, and a Harris Education Solutions system upgrade (cost not stated). The operations committee advanced ratification of Excel Elevator repairs at the senior high school for $27,664 and field applications for $3,300. Votes recorded were to move these items forward for full-board consideration; the transcript does not establish final board approval. Policy changes were also reviewed, but no additional procurement action was identified there.
