The West Chester Area School District Personnel Committee and Monthly Board Meeting was held September 28, 2026. The personnel committee reviewed recruitment and attendance data, discussed employee retention and a planned Gallup 12 survey, and approved a new student intern job description supporting Facilities and Operations. The board’s committee reports included procurement and budget items: the Teaching, Learning and Engagement Committee reported approval of a $45,000 contract with Engaged Learning, Inc. for literacy practices, a $14,000 Reading Assist tutoring agreement, and a $22,500 legal consultation contract with Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams. A second pupil-services contract was also mentioned, but its vendor and amount are unclear in the transcript.

The Property and Finance Committee reviewed the 2027–28 budget forecast, including a $2.3 million increase in investment revenue designated to help reduce the projected budget gap, and recommended approval of the 2027–28 budget calendar. It also reported capital-reserve work for high-school renovations, with a construction budget of $872,780 and anticipated architectural design costs of $87,275; the transcript does not clearly identify the related vendor or final award action. The committee recommended awarding the Rustin High School stadium-light upgrade to Keystone Sports Construction for $231,784, with a reported $58,239 transfer from the districtwide exterior LED lighting project. The board separately approved the student intern job description.
