The McKeesport Area School District Board of Directors met Oct. 30, 2025, in a brief special session at the administration building to approve the evening's agenda and mark personnel changes, including the imminent departure of a district employee identified as Mr. Moles.
Board members opened the meeting by reading a legal notice that announced the special voting meeting would be held at 7 p.m. in the Boardroom at 3590 Coppell Boulevard and said the stated purpose was "personnel and anything else that comes before the school." The notice was read on the record during the meeting.
An unidentified board speaker praised Mr. Moles, saying he "came in when times were tough" and "helped right the ship," and told attendees that Mr. Moles was leaving for a position in Lanier, noting "it's his last day" and that it would be "tomorrow," according to the speaker. The speaker thanked him for his service and said he would be missed.
The same speaker also thanked Westwood for stepping in at a prior meeting and expressed appreciation to Phillips for her work supporting "Katie," per the remarks. The board member additionally cited Matthew Olsen, identified in the meeting as a board member who was not present, and noted Olsen had begun his 25th year as a firefighter for the city of McKeesport and had served on the school board.
The board then sought a motion to approve the Oct. 30, 2025 agenda items (the transcript refers to items 5.1 and a range described as 5.2 to 5.65). A motion and a second were recorded and the presiding officer called for a voice vote. After those voting in favor said "Aye" and no roll-call tallies were given on the record, the presiding officer said, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record numerical vote counts.
A motion for adjournment followed and was accepted. Brief closing remarks congratulated a championship team and the meeting concluded with plans to see attendees in December.
No formal personnel actions (hiring or termination documents) were read into the record during this session, and the meeting record contains no roll-call vote counts or recorded dissents for the items discussed.
