The Blairsville-Saltsburg School Board will hold its regular meeting tonight, five days after a majority of board members voted to close Saltsburg Middle-High School, and the date of the school’s closure will be brought up for discussion tonight.
One of the agenda items is a resolution that will change the final day of operation of the Saltsburg Middle-High School from June 11th to June 30th, to align with the end of the district’s fiscal year. The resolution also directs Superintendent Philip Martel and his administration to reassign teachers from Saltsburg Middle-High School to the Blairsville-Middle-High School for the next school year, develop a new master schedule for students and classes, meet with PIAA to address all issues with interscholastic sports and proceed with the creation of a STEAM academy that will be housed at the former Saltsburg Middle-High School.
The board is also set to approve eight retirements, including six teachers representing a combined 162 years of service to the district and two custodians who have served a combined 69 years of service.
The board will also look to hire Holly Rogeaux as the Assistant to the Superintendent for Cirriculum/Assessment and Digital Learning, and to hire a new music director for Blairsville High School.
The meeting will be held virtually tonight starting at 7:00 PM. Links to the meeting will be posted to the district website, b-ssd.org, later today.
