This conclusion is based on the school district preliminary budget or other information available to the School Board.
- The applicable index for the next fiscal year is 3.7%, and the School Board will not for the next fiscal year increase the rate of its real estate tax, or any other tax for the support of public education, by an amount that exceeds the applicable index.
- The School Board has to date and in the future will comply with the rules set forth in School Code § 687 for adoption of the school district proposed and final budgets for the next fiscal year.
- The School Board understands that the school district will not be eligible to use Act 1 referendum exceptions for the next fiscal year.

- Penn State University ELA Research Study
From Sarah:
The associate dean for the College of Education at PSU, Dr. Rayne Sperling, contacted me regarding possible participation in a nationwide research study on student preference and performance on curriculum-based writing tasks. The study would ask my willing students to write two responses based on different story starters and answer some questions to determine writing self-efficacy. The study would take about one hour for students to complete, and participation is entirely optional. The study has Institutional Review Board approval.
I wanted to reach out to you to determine if it is permissible to offer participation to my students and their families (included in this email is the study's Consent for Research parents would need to review and complete if interested). Dr. Sperling is happy to meet to share more about the study if you or district administrators have questions. The Consent for Research provides a more in-depth look at the study for your reference too.

- PSBA Travel Accident Insurance
Information
- Basic Coverage is free to all board members.
- 24hr Coverage is optional. **See rates on enrollment form.
If you choose this option, please complete the enrollment form, submit the form and a check for the appropriate amount made payable to HASD General Fund to Linda Conway, Business Office by December 11, 2020. If you choose the optional coverage, you are required to complete the enrollment form.

Whether traveling to an advocacy event, school board meeting, or district function, it is vital to be able to focus on what matters most. That is why the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) Insurance Trust proudly partners with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential) to offer exceptional Business Travel Accident (BTA) and Optional Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage to the commonwealth’s school directors.
As a way of showing our gratitude for all the hard work you do as a school director, PSBA provides BTA coverage at no cost. BTA insurance covers all school directors for accidental death or injury that occurs while you are attending or travelling to and from board-sponsored business.
24-Hour Optional AD&D insurance coverage
Want more extensive coverage for yourself, your spouse or your children? We have you protected with a 24-hour Optional AD&D plan.
This Prudential plan helps cover accidental death or qualifying injuries, no matter where or when the accident occurs. You may select coverage in the amount of $150,000 for yourself at a cost of $35.50 annually. You may also select $50,000 of coverage for your spouse at a cost of $13.50 annually and $10,000 of coverage for all your eligible children at a cost of $3.00 annually.
Please note that this coverage replaces BTA coverage; it is not a supplement to the complimentary plan.

Admin Content
PSBA Officer Elections: Slate of Candidates 2020
PSBA members seeking election to office for the association were required to submit a nomination form no later than June 1, 2020, to be considered. All candidates who properly completed applications by the deadline are included on the slate of candidates below. In addition, the Leadership Development Committee met via Zoom on June 5th and 6th to interview candidates. According to bylaws, the Leadership Development Committee may determine candidates highly qualified for the office they seek. This is noted next to each person’s name with an asterisk (*).
Voting procedure
Each member entity will have one vote for each officer. This will require boards of the various school entities to come to a consensus on each candidate and cast their vote electronically during the open voting period (Aug. 23 – Oct. 11, 2020).
Voting will be accomplished through a secure third-party, web-based voting site that will require a password login. One person from each member entity will be authorized as the official person to register the vote on behalf of his or her entity. In the case of school districts, intermediate units, career and technical centers, it will be the board secretary who will cast votes. In the case of community colleges, the president is designated as the authorized registrar.
Special note: Boards should be sure to add discussion and voting on candidates to their agenda during one of their meetings in August, September or October before the open voting period ends.

- Resolution to Authorize the Superintendent to Modify, Amend, and/or Update the District's Phased School Reopening Health and Safety Plan
Now, therefore, inasmuch as the aforementioned is foreseeable in light of the changes that the District has seen over the last several months as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Board hereby authorizes and approves the Superintendent of Schools to undertake the necessary steps to modify, amend, and/or otherwise update the District’s Phased School Reopening Health and Safety Plan as needed from the effective date of this Motion up through the end of the 2020-2021 school year as is otherwise needed or required to be in compliance with any additional federal or state mandates, guidance, orders, or advisories that would impact the school, staff, students and the District’s options relative to delivery models. These updates shall be provided to the Board as they occur and be considered for approval as may be required.
- District's Phased School Reopening Health and Safety Plan - REVISED
The revised School District's Health and Safety Plan will serve as the local guidelines for all instructional and non- instructional school reopening activities.
- Emergency Instructional Time Template Section 520.1
As communicated to chief school administrators on July 6, 2020, Section 520.1 of the School Code provides flexibility to meet minimum instructional time requirements in the event of an emergency that prevents a school entity from providing for the attendance of all pupils or usual hours of classes at the school entity. The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) considers the World Health Organization-declared Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic and an emergency as contemplated by Section 520.1. A local education agency (LEA) that elects to implement temporary provisions in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic may meet the minimum 180 days of instruction and 900 hours of instruction at the elementary level and 990 hours of instruction at the secondary level through a combination of face-to-face and remote instruction, consistent with the requirements outlined in PDE’s July 6 guidance.

- President's Report / Dr. Sommer
- Resolution to Adopt PSBA Principles for Governance and Leadership
RESOLVED this 15th day of January, 2020, 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. The actions taken by the board ultimately have both short and long-term impact in the classroom. Therefore, school directors collectively and individually will:
Advocate Earnestly
- Promote public education as a keystone of democracy
- Engage the community by seeking input, building support networks, and generating action
- Champion public education by engaging members of local, state and federal legislative bodies
Lead Responsibly
- Prepare for, attend and actively participate in board meetings
- Work together in a spirit of harmony, respect and cooperation
- Participate in professional development, training and board retreats
- Collaborate with the Superintendent as the Team of 10
Govern Effectively
- Adhere to an established set of rules and procedures for board operations
- Develop, adopt, revise and review policy
- Align decisions to policy
- Differentiate between governance and management, delegating management tasks to administration
- Allocate finances and resources
- Ensure compliance with local, state and federal laws
Plan Thoughtfully
