001Mr. Rao roll call please. Mrs. Anderson here. Mrs. Bince here. Mrs. Bowman oh here I'm sorry wow. Mr. Riegel here. Mr. Camaletti here. Mrs. Schotri here. Mr. O'Neill present. Dr. Payne here. Mr. Taylor here. All members present. Thank you. Superintendent's comments. We will move into this celebration of excellence. I also just want to point out that we do have an additional camera in the room today and it is nothing nefarious. We were just when we were doing our pre-run we had a little bit of issue with our sound. I just want to make sure that we have a backup. We fixed the sound but I don't trust fixes all the time so we have two cameras rolling. That's all that it is. And we can move into the celebration of excellence. Excellence in education in
002Peters Township School District. Our back to school events got started with orientation for ninth and sixth grade students. Students received schedules, met staff members, toured the schools and spent time getting to know their new building. The days leading up to school include many student events to help new and returning students transition into the new school year. Many thanks to our teachers, counselors and student ambassadors who helped make these events a success. The district has been recognized for its 2024 comprehensive financial report demonstrating a constructive spirit of full disclosure to communicate our financial story with our community and beyond. Their certificate of achievement given by the Government Financial Offers Association of the United States and Canada is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting and this attainment represents a significant accomplishment by
003the district. You can check out the financial report on the budget page of the district website. The Pennsylvania School Boards Association on a roll of school board service proudly celebrates school directors for their long-standing dedication to their districts and communities. Tonight we recognize and thank Mr. Rolf Griegel on his 10th year of service in Peters Township. On August 13th we welcomed our staff back for the start of another school year. Part of that celebration is always recognizing our staff members who are working milestones in their careers in Peters Township. Take a look. And all awards come with certificates, right? I thought certificates came with cake too. We're gonna have to do that. Oh cake in the mail. All right public comment. Peters Township School District values parent and community engagement. Speakers who signed up in
004advance per policy 903 will be allotted a maximum of five minutes for public comment. All other speakers will be allotted a maximum of two minutes for public comment. Part of our communication effort involves taping and sharing videos of our board meetings to help our communities stay informed on matters before the board. Any guest speakers or members of the public who are taking part in the meetings are reminded to come to the podium and use the microphone when making comments so that they may be heard by those of us in the room and those watching online. All speakers are reminded to state their name and resident status for the minutes. The public comment period of the meeting is not a question and answer format between the public and the board. The purpose of public comment at
005board meetings is to allow the board to learn the thoughts of the public prior to board deliberation and action. Executive sessions were held on July 9th and immediately prior to this meeting to discuss personnel and other items. Are there items of new business? Seeing none, we have a recommendation to. Oh, I'm sorry. Do we have any public comment? I went right by that. Seeing none, I have a recommendation to consider a motion to approve the business office recommendations as shown in item one.

I had the privilege to go on the roof at Bower Hill last week. It was a bucket list item for me. The project looked like it was going very well. I got to meet the project manager from SiteLogic as well, saw the reports they put together. I mean, it's my quick look of everything up there. Everything looked to be of good quality. We have a 30-year warranty on the roof, so for keeping safe, warm, and dry, I think we should at least be dry for hopefully 30 years. Excellent. Anything further from Buildings and Grounds? No, that's it. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Bowman. Education, Mr. Briegel. Thank you, Mrs. Bowman, but nothing
