# October 13, 2026 Committee Of The Whole Meeting

The Chambersburg Area School District Committee of the Whole met on October 13, 2026. No procurement awards or spending votes were taken. The board heard that a roughly $100,000 Pennsylvania Department of Education grant, associated with HayTutor, could provide three trained intervention-support staff at Ben Chambers, Gilbert, and Lurgan at no cost to the district; the related consent item will proceed to a board vote in two weeks. The district also reported five meetings with Transfinder Corporation on attendance-boundary scenarios tied to school reconfiguration, including the Green Village project; no contract amount or new approval was discussed. Staff expect to present scenarios and a preferred option later, with an interactive boundary lookup tool planned for the district website.

A financial adviser requested that the board revise its 2026 general-obligation bond parameters resolution at the next meeting, increasing the maximum interest-rate limit for individual maturities from 5.5% to 6.5% to accommodate market changes. The planned bond-pricing schedule remains early November, with settlement in December; the adviser said borrowing costs were near or slightly above the prior estimate of approximately $300 million, with the built-in contingency effectively used. The meeting also included discussion of proposed high-school graduation requirements, Keystone remediation, and staffing needs—including cooperative education and additional teaching positions—but no staffing or budget action was approved. Administrators will bring future policy and budget requests forward.
