Trinity Area School District remains without a transportation contract. The school board met in a two-hour, 40-minute executive session to discuss the bus controversy during its agenda meeting Thursday night but reached no decision regarding a contract.
The district is back to square one after Washington County President Judge Debbie O’Dell Seneca on Tuesday tossed out an April 1 vote in which the board awarded an $8.86 million transportation contract to First Student Inc., ruling that two board members violated a court order prohibiting them from voting.
Tony Sanchez, an attorney for Andrews and Price LLC of Pittsburgh, who was appointed by the school district’s insurance carrier to handle litigation involving Trinity and GG&C, attended the meeting but left without comment.
In other business, the school board hired David Russo as director of fiscal services at an annual salary of $90,000. Russo was approved for a four-year contract.
