The Seneca Valley School Board moved through a packed agenda Monday night, approving more than $19.7 million in general fund and construction bills while adopting a new districtwide reading curriculum and celebrating a string of student and staff achievements. Meeting at the Intermediate High School auditorium, the board signed off on $18,453,486.78 in general fund expenditures and $1,268,798.87 in construction fund bills, reflecting the district's ongoing capital improvement work across its buildings. Among the largest action items were two re-roofing projects awarded to Amrize Building Envelope, operating as Duro-Last Roofing, through the TIPS cooperative purchasing program. The projects will address multiple roof sections at Connoquenessing Valley Elementary and the Senior High School, covering areas that have reached the end of their useful life. The board also adopted the K-6 Into Reading/Into Literature English Language Arts resource, a significant curriculum decision that will shape how roughly 4,000 elementary and middle school students learn to read and write for years to come. In a move affecting student mental health services, the board approved agreements with Glade Run Lutheran Services for mental health support and The Children's Institute Day School and Bradley Center for enrolled students in the 2026-27 school year, all pending solicitor review. The district also renewed its participation in the Pennsylvania School-Based ACCESS Program, which allows billing to Medical Assistance for eligible student health services. A new three-year Special Education Plan was approved for submission to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, covering 2026 through 2029. The evening opened on a celebratory note. Board President Eric DiTullio led the meeting as fourth-grader Sumayyah Elsherif from Ehrman Crest Elementary led the Pledge of Allegiance through the district's "I Led the Pledge" program. The Raiders ice hockey team received congratulations for winning back-to-back Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League Class 3A championships. Deputy Superintendent Dr. Sean McCarty was honored with the Distinguished PreK-12 Educator Award from the University of Pittsburgh School of Education, while Assistant Athletic Director Nii Sowa-Doku was named Pennsylvania's Assistant Athletic Director of the Year. Ryan Gloyer Middle School earned its fifth redesignation as a PA Don Eichhorn "Schools to Watch" for excellence in academics, equity and student support. Eighth grader Rex Woodard received the Joan Jarrett Student Award at the state middle school conference. Two Seneca Valley students, Dahlia Marcin and Beckett Lowry, were named 2026 Carson Scholars, each receiving $1,000 college scholarships from among 706 students selected nationwide. Three art students -- Evan Heneghan, Hope Reep and Audrey Wolfe -- earned Gold Key awards in the Scholastic Art and Writing competition and will advance to national judging in New York City. Teachers Jeremiah Friday and Kenneth Cahall presented on the district's Yellowstone National Park student trip, and the board approved several upcoming trips including the KidWind World Challenge in Madison, Wisconsin, and the Academic Decathlon national competition in Garden Grove, California, both at no cost to the district. On the financial side, the board appointed NexTier Bank as the district's depository for the 2026-27 school year and approved the nomination of DiTullio as a Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV Board Member for a three-year term beginning July 1. The board also approved two grant applications: a $7,500 Highmark Foundation grant for a Gross Motor Movement Studio at CVE and a $5,000 Dollar General Youth Literacy Grant to stock the school's book vending machine. Seven letters from community members were noted as received by the board. The next scheduled meeting has not yet been announced.
