The Scranton School District held a work session and board meeting on June 1, 2026, focusing on various operational, educational, and financial matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of contracts for paving and seal coating at McNichols Plaza and Friendship House property, tennis court repairs at Scranton and West Scranton High Schools with Miller Sports Construction under Co-Stars contracts totaling approximately $495,760, and window replacements at West Intermediate School for $49,700. The board also approved a $51,346.76 structural repair at Montichello East Mountain funded from an existing $300,000 contingency. Additionally, motions were passed to award contracts for waste removal services and audit preparation services, with a decision to reject bids for the district's annual audit to negotiate better pricing. The meeting addressed budgeted purchases, special education settlements, and curriculum approvals, alongside discussions on safety improvements such as sidewalk repairs near schools and lighting upgrades, although a grant application for lighting was unsuccessful. The board emphasized proactive contract management and readiness for the upcoming school year through early vendor agreements and grant pursuits.
