# 2026-10-19 MTLSD School Board Regular Meeting

The Mount Lebanon School District Board’s regular meeting, held October 20, 2026 (the meeting title lists October 19), included approval of a donation and five-year naming-rights agreement for the high school stadium: River Arch Stadium at Mount Lebanon High School, home of Art Walker Field. The donor will contribute more than $400,000 toward upper practice-field improvements, including $312,970 for lighting and installation, plus costs for core drilling, a soil report, and municipal applications. The proposal remains subject to Mount Lebanon Municipality review, permitting, and public contracting requirements; additional project costs may be covered under the agreement’s flexible-cost terms. Board discussion emphasized that this vote accepts the donation and naming rights, while municipal approvals and community review are still required. Residents raised concerns about lighting, noise, safety, and potential neighborhood impacts; board members discussed limiting the field’s use and complying with district sponsorship policy 627.

The board also approved finance agenda items, including a settlement with the municipality to recover $277,173.09 in stormwater fees. Facilities agenda items, including an ice-melt supplier resolution, were approved; no supplier or contract amount was stated. Curriculum and instruction agenda items—including agreements with Leaders in Learning and Turtle Creek Valley, and school crowdfunding requests—were also approved without amounts specified. The district’s audit reported an unmodified opinion, a $4.7 million increase in fund balance, and approximately $10.3 million in unassigned fund balance. Parkway representatives discussed capacity pressures and the possibility of establishing a reserve fund, but no funding decision was made on that topic.
