Finance Committee: October 15, 2026

The Council Rock School District Finance Committee met on October 15, 2026, to review several items expected to go to the full board. The committee discussed a one-year renewal of the Sherpa IT help-desk software agreement for $7,133, with no price increase; the annual Bucks County Intermediate Unit service for advertising and mailing homestead/farmstead notices, estimated at $7,280.59; and an easement request from Newtown Borough for an ADA-accessible path serving Brian S. Greg Memorial Park. The easement would cover roughly 30 by 80 feet of district land, with final terms subject to solicitor review. No committee votes were reported on these items.

The committee also discussed a proposed $60,000 district contribution toward Northampton Township’s sidewalk project near Holland Elementary School, part of an approximately $120,000 project. The district has applied for a grant that could reimburse the contribution, but said it would need to proceed before the grant decision; if unsuccessful, funds would need to be found in the general fund. For the district’s financial-statement audit, an RFP drew four proposals and the selection committee recommended Zelenkofske Axelrod LLC (the firm name is unclear in the transcript), for a three-year engagement with two optional years, beginning at $45,500 and reaching up to $49,300 in year five. The committee also noted upcoming review of 2025–26 financial results and further discussion of parent concerns about school photography pricing and communication. The agenda items were presented for anticipated full-board action; no final board approvals or committee votes appear in the transcript.
