KC Board to consider terminating Condo

MILL HALL — At its special meeting tonight, the Keystone Central School District Board of Directors will consider the termination of its assistant superintendent, Mark Condo.

Condo was appointed to the role earlier this year, when his previous position of HR Director was removed to make way for the assistant superintendent role.

If approved, Condo’s termination will take effect immediately.

The board will also consider approving a job description for the assistant superintendent role. The three-page document lists the requirements for the position — such as a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership with Pennsylvania Principal Certification; administrative/supervisory experience and experience with labor relations and collective bargaining is preferred; strong interpersonal and leadership ability combined with broad knowledge of all aspects of the district’s operations.

The position will also continue to serve as the district’s Act 44 Safety and Security Coordinator, Open Records Officer and Title IX Compliance Officer for employee related complaints, according to the job description.

The document also includes a large list of responsibilities — 50 in total — related to human resources, district safety, building inspections and more.

The assistant superintendent, according to the description, would supervise Human Resources Generalist, administrative assistant and KCSD Law Enforcement and Security Officers and report to the superintendent, the document says.

The move to terminate Condo comes months before Superintendent, Dr. Jacquelyn Martin is set to retire. The district is still actively searching for Martin’s replacement.

Other personal matters that will be considered tonight are:
