# Chester County School District Board of School Trustees Meeting - September 28, 2026

The Chester County School District Board of School Trustees meeting on September 28, 2026, included an operations and maintenance update and a report on August finances. Staff described completed capital projects—including resurfacing tracks at Chester and Great Falls high schools, adding courtyard tables, and replacing the Lewisville Middle School gym floor—and ongoing work such as a cooking-unit installation and network-equipment upgrades. A capital-project shortlist included playground surfaces, HVAC work, secure-entry and camera upgrades, districtwide laptop refresh, fencing, and other facility improvements. The board questioned how projects had been assigned priority tiers and raised safety and maintenance concerns, including a spongy gym floor and a drop-off-area incline; no project award or funding approval was recorded. The financial report gave a preliminary capital-projects balance of $16.5 million, $91,000 in interest earnings, and $965,500 reported as spent/encumbered, with final prior-year balances still being reconciled. Separately, the superintendent reported a $10,000 state arts-enhancement grant to provide 22 instruments for the strings program.

The board approved the agenda and consent agenda, certified personnel recommendations, a second reading of a staff sexual-harassment rule amendment, and a first reading of a paid-parental-leave policy amendment. It also approved delegate nominations. Other reports covered school meal-service corrective actions, special-education and gifted-program work, staff recruitment and retention, and planning for responsible AI use. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or specific procurement votes were identified.
