MILL HALL — After lengthy discussion at its work session last week, the Keystone Central School District Board of Directors tabled its consideration surrounding the disclosure of salaries for employee transfers at its voting session on Thursday.

During its work session, Superintendent Dr. Francis Redmon noted the board brought up the topic at its July meeting and asked members to provide him with a direction to go in moving forward.

The issue at hand was related to a lack of salaries listed among the employee transfers in the board’s personnel list, which it approves monthly. All other hourly rates and salary information for individuals who are being hired is listed for each employee.

At the time, it was explained they are not listed when there is no change to an employee’s salary during the transfer.

Some board members, such as Chris Scaff, Elisabeth Lynch and Dr. Bill Baldino, felt it would be best to include the salaries for transparency sake.

Meanwhile, Board Vice President Butch Knauff said a decision should be made after discussions with the district’s union representatives.

During its meeting Thursday night, the board elected to table the topic through a motion made by Baldino and seconded by Scaff.

The board later approved a large list of personnel items leading up to the start of the 2025-2026 school year.

The following items were approved Thursday night. Board Vice President Butch Knauff abstained from the vote, as his wife was listed as a substitute teacher.

Hiring for many of these positions is contingent upon receipt of all required paperwork including, but not limited to, all necessary background checks that meet the appropriate standard(s) as required by Pennsylvania law:
