June 23, 2026 School Board Meeting

The Chambersburg Area School District Board held a meeting on June 23, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. The board approved the creation of two literacy coach positions to support the district's reading initiative, with an investment nearing one million dollars. They also appointed Stephanie Gallis as the LIU 12 committee representative. A significant agenda item was the approval of a petition to intervene in the Pennsylvania Utility Commission proceedings concerning the proposed Transource power line project, allowing the district to stay informed and involved regarding potential impacts on local schools. Additionally, the board approved a construction management services contract with Mascaro CM Services for multiple school construction projects, emphasizing the importance of experienced management to ensure successful execution. Other approvals included gifts, grants, donations, and policy updates. Public comments heavily focused on opposition to the Transource project due to health, environmental, and community concerns. The board acknowledged the need for further information on the intervention's implications but proceeded with the motion to maintain a voice in the matter.
