Board of Education Meeting

The Moon Area Board of Education held its September 8, 2025, business meeting at 7:09 p.m., called to order by the president. Seven directors were present, with two directors absent; the board had earlier met in executive session over personnel and legal matters.

The board approved the minutes from August 11 and 25, 2025, along with the September financial reports, and authorized the monthly bills across the General Fund, Bond Issue, Food Service, and Activity funds. It approved a Site-Based Academic Services Agreement with Wesley Family Services running through June 2028, and a Crisis Center North agreement for Peer-to-Peer collaboration. The board ratified bus stops, daily field trips, and a conference for the superintendent.

In personnel, the board accepted three resignations and approved a medical leave for an employee. It hired a Director of K-12 Curriculum and Instruction, plus three teachers—three teachers—and two Dishwasher/Server staff at Brooks Elementary. Five teachers received tenure, and the board approved department heads, extra-duty pay across five elementary schools, internal movements, a salary-scale move for an employee, and volunteer and event coaching staff. It also authorized STA drivers and monitors and permitted the superintendent to fill administrative, professional, and support positions before the September 22 meeting.

Following a superintendent report on a strong school-year start and a campus-planning presentation by Axis Architecture, board members answered public questions about the backpack policy, with the superintendent explaining the current guidelines. The meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
