05/27/2026 - CDSD Personnel / Policy / Academic Committee Meetings

The Central Dauphin School District held its Personnel, Policy, and Academic Committee meetings on May 27, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included a generous $50,000 donation from Unlimited to fund equipment for the new construction technologies course at both CD High School and East High School. Additionally, Trane presented a partnership to renovate four middle school libraries into innovation labs, providing hands-on STEM learning environments. Trane will cover all costs for furniture and equipment, with a formal agreement pending solicitor approval and expected to be presented for board approval in June. The meeting also covered policy updates, including the elimination of the head lice policy to accommodate a new food allergy policy, and revisions to the code of conduct, particularly regarding cell phone use and truancy policies. The committee approved moving these policy changes forward to the full board for consideration. No direct contract awards or RFPs were discussed, but the Trane partnership represents a significant in-kind capital improvement project for the district.
