Reading School Board Backs a Busing Manager and a Solar Grant

The Reading School District's Board of School Directors has approved a three-year agreement with TransPar Group to manage the district's transportation department - about $694,545 a year - and a resolution seeking a $917,000 state solar grant for Glenside Elementary School.

Both items passed 9-0 at the board's October 28 meeting, alongside more than $5 million in construction bills. The board also approved full-day prekindergarten scheduling at Lauer's Park and Northwest Area elementary schools.
