The Central Dauphin School District Board held a meeting on May 12, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed. Key procurement topics included the proposed agreement with School Scheduling Associates for up to $27,000 to assist in creating a master schedule for secondary schools, which was ultimately not approved by the board. The board also reviewed and tabled changes to certain staff positions related to curriculum development, digital media, and building supervision due to budget concerns and the need for further clarification. Additionally, the board discussed a grant writer agreement with Community Center Consulting LLC for $40,000 annually, set to be voted on at a future meeting. The meeting included updates on multiple grant awards totaling $2.8 million for the current year and $12 million in grants in the pipeline, including a potential $5 million school facility improvement grant. Other procurement-related items such as memorandums of understanding for contracted support staff and tax collection agreements were noted for future approval. The board also addressed concerns about budget transparency and consultant expenditures, emphasizing the need for better communication and oversight.
