School Board is back from Summer Break UPDATED

For the first time in history, the school board took off the month of July. The agenda for Monday's Discussion Meeting is available here.

The school board will continue their practice of public shaming with their
Publication of Listing of Liened Taxes – Annually the Board takes action to make the list of liened property taxes from the prior year for public view. The list is recommended for public view by the Superintendent. 
Timmy had his review on June 27, 2018 and will be getting his contracted 6% increase, resulting in a salary of $217,822. No mention of a bonus this year. Aww.

To be voted on at the next meeting:
School Resource Officer: RESOLVED, That the School Resource Officer Agreement between the District and the Municipality is approved in substantially the form presented, providing for a three-year term with the District reimbursing the Municipality for 65% of all costs incurred by the Municipality in providing the School Resource Officer, in amounts estimated to be $78,088, $84,193, and $91,414, respectively, in each year of the Agreement. 
More discussion on the capital campaign.

The good news is that the school district is a loving and caring board. They will be approving $100 for supplies for the homeless. This will come from a Federal grant.

August 13, 2018 1:32 PM The capital campaign has list approximately $6,000 YTD ending 7/31/18.

  1. Elaine, how many different lists are there published in Mt Lebanon that are aimed at public shaming? I actually think this may be an issue that influences the community and the public's acceptance and practice of cruelty. You mentioned this tax lien list, then there are the lists of people who can't keep up with various household tasks like keeping their yard trimmed to the right level, then there's the police blotter... what else? I just wonder, in sum, how many shaming lists there are and whether that number can be compared to the number of shaming lists in other communities because kindness really IS better and these lists are ridiculous. In fact, how it is the public's right to know who can't keep up with a paint job or yard trim? -Mary E

  3. omg,, very typical statement,, we should feel sorry for everyone,, and gosh darnit how dare you insult the gypsies. all I have to say is PAY YOUR GODDAMN TAXES...also Mary E.. the last time I checked Lebo doesn't list the code violations online.. on my street we have them all,, one resident is near the top of the list for lack of payment for school and township taxes,, another has had their frontside walk in gravel due to a gasline repair for over 2 years and then of course the neighbors with their 3 feet weeds growing in their front yard!! none of these properties are remotely reasonable and if they want to live like this,, maybe they should move to area were there are no municipal services provided and people don't use sidewalks..
