Move your options out of the range, and out of the pool, into the subnet.

subnet 172.30.112.0 netmask 255.255.240.0 {
		authoritative;
		option subnet-mask              255.255.240.0;
		option broadcast-address        172.30.112.255;
		option routers                  172.30.112.2;
		# This is the full range
		#range 172.30.112.3 172.30.127.254;

		pool {
		range 172.30.115.1 172.30.127.254;
		}

} # // ITdept

Example printer reservation:
host vnbandk3920.dsdk12.schoollocal {
   hardware ethernet 00:c0:ee:7d:bc:80;
   fixed-address 172.30.176.243;
}
