Notably, the district saw high placements in Current Events, Propaganda and
Theme, with one team earning a national championship title in Current
Events. The team was led by Ryan Gloyer Middle School Teacher Julie
Smith and SV Senior High School Librarian Mike Stebbins.

Four sophomores from Seneca Valley Intermediate High School were
recognized on May 14 at Chatham University for their award-winning
entries in the 2025 Waldman Arts & Writing Competition, hosted by the
Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. This year’s theme, “Local Legacies:
Holocaust Survivors of the Pittsburgh Region,” invited students to
commemorate, honor and connect with survivors who settled in our
communities after enduring unimaginable hardship. Participants
demonstrated their learning through poetry, essays and 2-D or 3-D artwork.

in the competition. A special congratulations goes to Aubri Holland, who
was named the grand prize winner of the overall competition.

competition, it is an academic marathon. He shared that students compete in ten disciplines;

Climate.” The team advanced through regionals, states and nationals! He shared that this

excellence.

Agency Reports

l. Vo-Tech - Mr. Hester will provide an update at the August meeting.

2. LU. IV - Mr. DiTullio shared that there are openings that they are looking to

fill.

Legislative — Ms. Zimmer shared information regarding House Bill 1500, a bill

focused on reforming cyber charter schools. This bill has gone to the committee and
it has been passed out of committee. She shared the audit that was conducted from
2021-2023 on five charter schools with approximately 44,000 students. They found
that there is revenue of $898 million with a fund balance of $618 million. For
reference, the Legislature holds public schools accountable and they can have 8% of
total revenue in fund balance. House Bill 1500 says that cyber charter schools will
have to limit their fund balance to 12%; establishes a tuition rate of $8,000 per
student; requires that cyber charter schools notify families when their school is
designated a low achieving school, along with some additional changes.

Drug Testing Results - Dr. McKinley provided a report with results collected from
July 1, 2024 -May 14, 2025, noting that there were 4,310 tests given, and that the
District’s positive rate was 0.9% with the national average being 3.4%. Last year, the
District’s positive rate was 1.7%. He shared that, additionally, students who test
positive have to do five consecutive weeks of follow-up testing and out of 124
attempts, there were 11 students who tested positive at 8.8% with a national average
at 20%. He believes that this number is a direct result of the intervention methods that
are in place. Dr. McKinley thanked the board for supporting this program for more
than 20 years.

Mr. Hester asked if the number of tests given this year was the same as the previous
year. Dr. McKinley shared that the amount given in 24-25 is very similar to what was
given in 23-24.

Mr. Peterson recognized and thanked Dr. McKinley and others who have
implemented this procedure and the positive difference that it has made over the
years.
