Unionville-Chadds Ford School District directors held an unusually short meeting Monday. The session took only 21 minutes instead of the usual three hours.
Directors approved parent/student handbooks for all the schools. Those handbooks contain contact information at the schools, as well as various policies involving dress codes, bullying, lost and found, and a parent’s right to know. In all, the handbooks cover roughly two dozen topics.
The board also approved some contracts, one of which was an addendum to the contract for Superintendent of Schools John Sanville. According to Director Steve Simonson, some wording was accidentally omitted from Sanville’s 2021 contract, wording that had been in his 2017 contract.
“There was no intent by the negotiating committee to remove the language related to the superintendent’s 457 B Plan,” Simonson said.
According to the IRS website, that plan is part of the retirement package that allows employees of certain organizations “to defer income taxation on retirement savings into future years.”
The amended contract now includes the following language.
“Subject to applicable IRS limits, Employer shall match on a dollar-for-dollar basis contributions to the Superintendent’s qualified 457(b) plan in an amount not to exceed 1⁄2 of the annual contribution limits in each of the calendar years of this agreement. Contributions for 2021 and 2022 that have not been made to date shall be made over the course of the Agreement and in line with IRS guidelines so as to stay within annual limits.”
