\"When will it be corrected to view the chart as a whole on one page? The only change that I know was added ... the PIMS supervisor position ... formerly known as the PIMS coordinator position. What purpose does it serve to have the PIMS supervisor position under the technology department?\" Flanagan Bay asked. He said PIMS is responsible for collecting district data that goes to the state and that the business manager historically handled that role in the district.

School leaders and a district staff speaker responded during the public exchange that PIMS is a technical, data-centered role and that an increasing number of districts place PIMS under technology because of the data and computing requirements; a staff speaker said PIMS is a relatively new position in some districts and that the Pennsylvania School Boards Association advises not embedding an organizational chart in policy because it changes frequently.

Online commenter John Jeffers raised three items: whether it is permissible for a board member to serve as a borough manager (he said he has not received clarification), why the RFP for a new solicitor was removed from the board agenda, and the district's reported fiscal swing from a $14 million surplus to a $9 million deficit, asking the board to explain how that change occurred.

Ending: Board members said the organizational-chart location could be clarified by the superintendent and that questions about executive-session votes and severance pay would be addressed in accordance with what can be disclosed from executive sessions and posted minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","WHSD Legislative Meeting 3/19/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Public commentators at the March 19 Woodland Hills board meeting asked for clearer explanations of the district's organizational chart change—specifically the placement of the PIMS supervisor under Technology—and pressed the board for details about the solicitor RFP and recent fiscal changes.","taxTitle","Woodland Hills SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",38760,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6115444,"Woodland Hills Impact Center outlines senior employment, homeownership classes and summer partners",211,2800000,3011000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2738698-ef62e35221b769d74bed62a3cfbfa3b6&start=2800&end=3011","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2738698-ef62e35221b769d74bed62a3cfbfa3b6/thumbnail_2800000.jpg","/articles/6115444/Pennsylvania/Woodland-Hills-Impact-Center-outlines-senior-employment-homeownership-classes-and-summer-partners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6115444-b492af1183867a5f0a4336e605d0dc02/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185326&Signature=Ac36VN5zCw4Sj98ecCEK0cMs7wPIsdXIDpz4MtfJTaA4Vc1KlztV0pSsGwOPYp2nce~ZRCbAzGMQrH-NVE0WfR5bGGhpLLEQq4FeewEknpeEAwsgf9m5HmPZvFcM7oG1XtNHj-1ktyJ~wum-3CE5bnbmyHdAZXAaQMI7VM0JX1nti6KKtIhuAnvB31tHxU0DOq3qqO9ixolutCDBKLtSrDOGwY6XQTwrqGTK2vijxct-eH4Kqsw8YleU7I2bC~VkRnDzOSkXzQgZAfO6~So1xCAQzmuk7tkPMGwzRGgLq0AffGL6HVWnCabeRfH6DOeXC9-BdsejBBo43mBC16FlPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Glenn, speaking on behalf of the Woodland Hills Impact Center, told the board on March 19 that the center runs a suite of community programs the district supports, including a senior employment program in partnership with the National Urban League, homeownership classes with NeighborWorks and planned summer programs with several partners.

Glenn said the senior program lets participating seniors work up to 29 hours per week in roles at the Impact Center and that participation does not impact Social Security benefits or other services and comes at no cost to the district. He said the Impact Center will launch a six-week homeownership course on April 17 through a partnership with NeighborWorks aimed at reversing population decline in the Mon Valley by helping renters transition to home ownership.

He also announced an Easter celebration April 25, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. split between Rankin Christian Center and the Woodland Hills Impact Center, and a vision-board event for National Women's History Month on March 26 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Glenn said the center is preparing for summer camp 2025 and is coordinating with partners including Each 1 Teach 1, Learn and Earn, Carnegie Mellon University, the Swiss Federal Library (as stated) and Rivers of Steel; Glenn said additional details will be shared at the next board meeting.

Ending: Board members thanked Glenn and praised the Impact Center's community work; the district said further updates on summer programming will come at future meetings.

Nick Pisatano, who identified himself at the March 19 meeting as the new state senator for the “40 Fifth District” that includes communities in the Woodland Hills footprint, told the board he is visiting local elected bodies to introduce his office and to offer assistance to school districts.

“We want you guys to feel that you can go to [Rob Roderick] with anything big or small. Of course, you can come directly to me, but I'm a little bit harder to nail down sometimes,” Pisatano said, introducing Rob Roderick as his office's local government liaison.

Pisatano also said there may be momentum in Harrisburg to update Pennsylvania’s charter-school law, citing a recent report by the auditor general that, in his view, called attention to problems created by the current statute. “That report from a Republican elected official, I think signals that maybe we can make some updates there,” he said, and added that the charter-school statute dates to 1973 and has not been amended, noting technological and other changes since then.

He told the board his office maintains district and satellite offices, including in locations within the Woodland Hills area, and encouraged school officials and residents to contact his office for assistance.

Ending: Pisatano left his business cards and asked district officials to reach out with questions or issues; his staff contact, Rob Roderick, was identified as the district liaison.

Gallagher as the district insurance broker, ratifying two bill lists and granting permission for a student trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam in summer 2026, while tabling action on reimbursement for a superintendent conference until the incoming superintendent is seated.

The actions came as the board moved most items on the agenda by consent, with the initial consent motion passing unanimously, 9-0. Later separate votes approved Arthur J. Gallagher as the district's insurance broker of record (vote announced as 9-0), ratified post-February invoices (16.3) and the March 2025 bill list (16.4) with recorded tallies of 7-2, tabled reimbursement for the PASS/related superintendent conference until the superintendent is present (motion to table passed 8-1), and approved a proposed student trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam for summer 2026 (vote announced as 9-0).

Board members debated the timing and administrative details for the conference reimbursement, with at least one director asking to wait until the incoming superintendent is in place so the board could confirm registration deadlines and whether the superintendent had already registered. The board ultimately tabled that item for a future meeting so it can be revisited after the new superintendent's start date.

Where vote tallies were announced but individual board votes were not read into the public record, the board's certified roll-call result is given as announced at the meeting. The meeting minutes and posted roll-call will contain the official vote record.

Votes at a glance
- Consent agenda (most items, except items pulled by board members): passed 9-0 (consent vote announced 9-0)
- 16.1: Approval to designate Arthur J. Gallagher as insurance broker of record: passed 9-0 (mover: not specified; second: not specified in the public excerpt)
- 16.3: Ratification of bill list for invoices paid after 02/19/2025: passed 7-2
- 16.4: Approval of March 2025 bill list: passed 7-2
- 17.1: Registration/travel reimbursement for Dr. (Joe) Malishnik (PARS conference): motion to table until superintendent is in the seat: passed 8-1 (the board voted to table and revisit when superintendent is present)
- 17.2: Permission for Miss Tanski to recruit and take students to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, summer 2026: passed 9-0

The board adjourned following routine closing items.

Ending: The board indicated that items tabled to allow the incoming superintendent to be present will be scheduled for a future meeting; the district's posted minutes and the official vote roll will provide final recorded votes and any additional administrative details.","At its March 19, 2025, legislative meeting the Woodland Hills School District board approved a series of consent items including an insurance broker, two bill lists and a student trip to Southeast Asia, and voted to table reimbursement for a superintendent conference until the new superintendent is seated.","actionData","errors"]
