The Seneca Valley School Board took two major financial actions at its February 9 meeting, authorizing the issuance of up to $150 million in general obligation bonds and approving a 10-year naming rights agreement with NexTier Bank worth $200,000. The bond resolution, the largest single financial action on the evening's agenda, authorizes the district to incur nonelectoral debt through limited tax bonds. The funds will support capital needs across the district, which serves approximately 7,500 students in Cranberry Township, Jackson Township, and Lancaster Township. The resolution pledges all available taxing power of the district for repayment and establishes a sinking fund. The NexTier Bank naming rights deal will bring $20,000 per year to the district over a decade, running from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2036. The agreement totals $200,000 in revenue for the district. In other business and finance matters, the board acknowledged its local audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and appointed Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. as the district's broker of record for insurance renewals beginning with the 2026-27 policy year. General fund bills totaled $1,580,181.70 and construction fund bills came to $216,359.22. The board also approved applying for a $561,210 Public School Facility Improvement Grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to fund the fire alarm system replacement at Haine Elementary and Haine Middle School. The grant requires a 25 percent district match of $187,070. The 2026-27 school calendar received board approval, along with a resolution establishing local district holidays for the upcoming school year. On the instruction side, the board approved several student trips, including a JROTC marksmanship trip to Camp Perry, Ohio, a PMEA District Band trip to Sharon High School, and an Academic Games League trip to Charlotte, North Carolina in April. All trips are at no cost to the district or require no additional district funding. The board approved agreements with The Watson Institute for tuition services, Bayada Home Health Care for individualized nursing services, and Cares of Western PA for transition services, all supporting students with specialized needs during the 2025-26 school year. A new partnership with the University of Pittsburgh was also approved, allowing the district to participate in the School Partnered Collaborative Care (SPACE) Study for 2026-27. Staff recognition highlighted Dayna Gulish of Rowan Elementary, who received the UP (Unlocking Potential) Award from the Midwestern Intermediate Unit 4 for her work with Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Lisa Martin, a special education paraprofessional at Rowan Elementary, was named the February 2026 All-Star Award winner. The district also celebrated 45 high school students who toured the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in January, gaining exposure to careers in healthcare and medical research. Board President Eric DiTullio presided over the meeting, which was held in the Seneca Valley Senior High School Auditorium. The board approved the minutes from its January 12, 2026 action meeting.
