EPSD Board Meeting - January 12, 2026

The East Penn School District School Board held a meeting on January 12, 2026, primarily focused on district updates, student performance data, and personnel recognitions. The board approved several motions related to personnel agreements, including a professional services agreement for school psychology and reading intern placements, though some items were tabled due to contract term clarifications. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a detailed presentation on district assessment data, including PSSA and Keystone exam results, growth metrics, and proficiency goals compared to state standards. Discussions highlighted areas of academic strength and concern, particularly in eighth-grade math and ELA growth, with ongoing curriculum adjustments and professional development efforts noted. The board also received reports from related educational entities such as the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit and the Lehigh Career and Technical Institute, including updates on budget commitments, capital projects, and new hires in facilities management. No new procurement contracts or capital improvement projects were directly approved during this meeting, but the discussion of personnel agreements and budget allocations for capital projects indicates ongoing procurement activity in related areas.
