The committee received updates on policy work and capital planning and acknowledged design hurdles for a softball field stormwater project.

Policy: Committee members reported the second reading of Policy 805.2 (dormancy) had no changes and recommended it move forward. First‑reading discussion occurred for child‑abuse‑related policy language (transcribed as '80 55, 3 55, 4 55, 5 55'), where trustees asked staff to clarify the final paragraph and explicitly add the agency that has jurisdiction on school property for reporting purposes. Staff said the revised language would return to the committee for further review.

Capital projects and grants: The district distributed a capital projects list covering 2025–26 through 2029–30 and discussed prioritizing projects, seeking grant opportunities through the intermediate unit and scheduling annual updates in the board letter. Trustees noted high costs for paving and roofing work and asked staff to include prioritization and grant possibilities in board materials.

Stormwater for softball field: Staff said sketch plans exist but full stormwater design is not complete because the field infiltrates slowly; they are arranging a meeting with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to seek relief or design guidance before proceeding to full‑blown design. Fields are expected to remain in place while the DEP discussion and design work continue.

Next steps: Policy language revisions and the capital projects list will return to committee with clarified wording and grant opportunities identified; staff will request a stormwater update from the facilities lead (Scott Haddock) and include findings in the next board letter.

Provenance: Policy discussion recorded at SEG 695–723, capital projects at SEG 590–609 and stormwater design at SEG 860–885.
