GESA RFP
The administration is recommending awarding the Request for Proposals For Energy Performance Contracting Services to The McClure Company. The proposed work includes district wide LED lighting upgrades, replacement of entrances at the Junior High School, and installation of bollards at the main entrances of all district school buildings.
The District received three responses to the Request for Proposal from The McClure Company, Schneider Electric, and The Efficiency Network. Of the three responses, The McClure Company scored the highest and had the lowest project cost estimate at approximately $1.9 million.
The awarding of the RFP does not commit the district to any expenditures. It allows The McClure Company to start the process of an in-depth scoping audit and cost analysis that will lead to a final project cost. Once a project scope and cost are determined, The McClure Company will present a contract to the school board. If the school board votes to accept the contract, a project will begin and funding will need to be in place. If the contract is not accepted, there is no cost to the district.
McClure Company - Total Estimated Project Costs $1,979,279 (Total Score - 291)
Schneider Electric - Total Estimated Project Costs - $2,077,190 (Total Score - 273)
Ten - Total Estimated Project Costs - $2,187,313 (Total Score - 240)

President's Report / Dr. Sommer
Resolution to Adopt PSBA Principles for Governance and Leadership
RESOLVED this 8th day of March, 2023, this Board policy supports the Principles for Governance and Leadership adopted by the Board and signed by individual school directors.
Pennsylvania school boards are committed to providing every student the opportunity to grow and achieve.
WHEREAS, our actions, as elected and appointed board members, ultimately have both short and long-term impact in the classroom.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we will:
Lead Responsibly
· Prepare for, attend, and actively participate in board meetings
· Work together with civility and cooperation, respecting that individuals hold differing opinions and ideas
· Participate in professional development, training, and board retreats
· Collaborate with the Superintendent, acknowledging their role as the 10th member of the board and commissioned officer of the Commonwealth
Act Ethically
· Never use the position for improper benefit to self or others
· Avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest
· Recognize school directors do not possess any authority outside of the collective board
· Accept that when a board has made a decision, it is time to move forward collectively and constructively
Plan Thoughtfully
· Implement a collaborative strategic planning process
· Set annual goals that are aligned with comprehensive plans, recognizing the need to adapt as situations change
· Develop a comprehensive financial plan and master facilities plan that anticipates short and long-term needs
· Allocate resources to effectively impact student success
Evaluate Continuously
· Make data-informed decisions
· Evaluate the superintendent annually
· Conduct a board self-assessment on a recurring basis
· Focus on student growth and achievement
· Review effectiveness of all comprehensive and strategic plans
Communicate Clearly
· Promote open, honest, and respectful dialogue among the board, staff, and community
· Acknowledge and listen to varied input from all stakeholders
· Promote transparency while protecting necessary confidential matters
· Set expectations and guidelines for individual board member communication
Advocate Earnestly
· Promote public education as a keystone of our Commonwealth
· Engage the community by seeking input, building support networks, and generating action
· Champion public education by engaging local, state, and federal officials
Govern Effectively
· Establish and adhere to rules and procedures for board operations
· Develop, adopt, revise, and review policy routinely
· Align board decisions to policy ensuring compliance with the PA School Code and other local, state, and federal laws
· Remain focused on the role of governance, effectively delegating management tasks to the administration
