10/13/2026 HBGSD "Committee of the Whole" Board Meeting

The Harrisburg School District Board’s Committee of the Whole met on October 13, 2026. Several proposed expenditures and agreements were discussed and generally forwarded to the October 27 consent agenda for approval; the transcript does not show final approval of those items at this meeting. Items included a $637,540.41 Capital Area Intermediate Unit agreement for nonpublic-school services; a $1,514 TRC Healthcare service order for continuing-education credits; a $23,400 Zoom license renewal; a $227,780 Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant; and adding a crossing guard at 18th and Derry Streets at an annual cost of $22,417.15. The board also discussed a two-year summer air-quality testing renewal, a no-cost amendment to a professional-services agreement, and a special-education instructional-services contract with Unlimited Instruction LLC, pending solicitor review. The administration proposed purchasing and installing electronic locks and cores at Hamilton with Craftmaster Hardware; discussion connected school-safety work to PCCD grants, including a reported $444,000 award for 2026–27. The transcript does not provide a clear price for the lock proposal or air-quality renewal.

The board also referred other listed business items to the October 27 consent agenda, including grants, payroll and treasury reports, and curriculum materials. A first reading was held on a proposed policy for naming or renaming district facilities, with possible adoption scheduled for October 27; this would establish a process for future facility naming decisions. Board reports noted upcoming public deliberations on capital projects and special education, and public comments addressed school safety and district operations. No procurement award or spending approval beyond the personnel actions is clearly recorded in the transcript.
