ASD Committee of the Whole / Regular Board Meeting 11/12/2026

The Allentown School District Committee of the Whole and Regular Board Meeting on November 12, 2026 included several procurement and facilities actions. The finance committee approved an agreement related to a taxpayer-initiated assessment appeal for the district parcel at 1101–1105 West Hamilton Street, with an assessment of $1,531,400 for the stated tax year and subsequent years; approved a memorandum of understanding with Valley Health Partners Community Health Center to establish a clinic at the Family and Community Resource Center, with district building expenses to be offset by partner reimbursement; and authorized use of up to $4.3 million from an available $5.8 million project contingency if needed. The committee also approved an electricity procurement authorization for a district consortium purchase brokered by Provident Energy: a selected but unnamed vendor would supply electricity under a 36-month arrangement with no increase during the term. The building committee heard a Future Ready Schools facilities-planning presentation from Site Logic and the Shrader Group, including community engagement and evaluation of renovations and potential replacement or new construction; no project award or budget was specified.

Other approved items included a three-year Halo Cloud Intelligence vape-sensor subscription for $39,300 covering 110 devices, and a short-term cybersecurity engineering engagement with E+ Technologies for up to three months, capped at $65,000. The education committee advanced a one-year Zello college- and career-readiness platform implementation for 2027–28, not to exceed $86,000. The board also approved a revised district–Allentown Police Department MOU and considered policy updates, including implementation planning for a state law restricting student personal-device use beginning in 2027–28. Committee actions were passed by voice vote; the regular board meeting approved reports including the building report, though the transcript does not clearly identify separate final board votes on every committee item.
