According to the presentation, the grant will support implementation across three years with one course launched each year. District staff said the first‑year payment will be $65,000 after a $10,000 upfront discount; the district expects recurring annual support costs of about $15,000 for software and equipment in years two and three. Staff said an estimated $10,000 would remain from the initial grant payment to cover training or equipment needs during implementation. The district intends to onboard the program in the fall.

Staff also discussed instructional‑technology decisions: the learning platform IXL remains popular but is expensive; the district previously applied ESSER funds to cover a multi‑year IXL subscription and has reduced other subscriptions that were lightly used. Administrators said the district removed programs such as Nearpod and Puzzle and introduced a replacement tool called Quizzes to reduce recurring costs. Staff reported that teacher surveys and program usage reviews informed those cuts; however, the line‑item offsets are not visible on the single budget document presented and staff said they will share further detail in future reports.

The transcript records the program description and budget estimates as presented by staff; the meeting record does not show a formal board vote approving the grant or any contract during the portion of the meeting included in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","EYSD Regular School Board Meeting 5/15/2025","oneSentenceSummary","District staff described a $75,000 TA Smart Grant to support a three‑year cybersecurity course sequence at the high school and said staff are trimming expensive instructional subscriptions, shifting some costs previously covered by ESSER funds.","taxTitle","Eastern York SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",14925,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6239007,"Resident questions administrator travel spending, urges deeper budget cuts and opposes tax increase",292,2690000,2982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3340202-e94f48abbda7cce828251489a21100b4&start=2690&end=2982","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3340202-e94f48abbda7cce828251489a21100b4/thumbnail_2690000.jpg","/articles/6239007/Pennsylvania/Resident-questions-administrator-travel-spending-urges-deeper-budget-cuts-and-opposes-tax-increase","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6239007-782cfd6a2cbc4fcf68673d7d602c9807/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183980&Signature=UMqpiHoTTc-yTrxWbamVe5H8-2fR8q6ero6vdnYnIYIxjcCE4mj0PLI1eeHMfdcDp6shW2L7r3BZFwVDJqxKx8jypVbvuUbGXI0jiMjUFfKWehrBLB-27QM37qo3OMZtKypbgpgILzvqYXqKswV4zYm9EBIodNzbmaNr52qzRKBxhVzhZ61JFbKUZfoUiinqYxb4R1h~PupRLeCA~ASdMjbTIRzbs6fsgkCioEcI5Ek9jEqS16V99RtWDhpvnFcRj8T9vMJSPJxnl7pybemxqxoNOHoj4Xe7fI0xPGGUZ6QwnbEviR54MoZOqR3s9zgmPBui4CJaKd69r9X0xhOqog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A resident told the Eastern York School District Board during the public‑comment period that proposed budget reductions should go beyond classroom aides and teachers and questioned administrators' travel and conference spending, citing roughly $4,255.54 in one month's expenses.

The commenter said one page of fund accounting showed $2,838.47 for conference travel and itemized additional hotel charges including $557.22 for another trip; combined, the resident estimated $4,255.54 for hotels, meals, parking and rideshares in that month. Examples mentioned in the public remarks included conferences in New Orleans, Hershey (characterized as drivable by the commenter) and a two‑night hotel in Baltimore related to an “animal assist crisis.” The resident asked who approves administrative travel and whether higher‑level travel could be limited in the same way teacher travel is limited and shared back to staff via reports.

Separately, the board read an online comment from Chris Hawk of Lower Windsor Township that said, in part: \"please, consider the taxpayers and vote no on the proposed tax increase.\" The comment said rising taxes were a major reason the writer sold a 20‑year home and called for tough spending cuts that respect taxpayers who cannot afford higher levies.

Board rules for public comment were read before the remarks; the board indicated it would listen and take notes and that any response from a board member would be personal unless direction to administration was given.

Resident Karen Royer later asked the board to place a bathroom policy on a future agenda and urged continued efforts to restore a library at Eastern; she thanked board members who pushed for budget reductions. No formal board action or votes on these budget concerns occurred during the meeting.

The statements in public comment reflect the speakers' perspectives and the figures they cited from the district reports; the board did not validate or dispute the totals on the record during the meeting.","During public comment, a resident asked the board to look beyond teacher cuts and cited roughly $4,255.54 in one month's administrative travel expenses.

The recognitions highlighted two high‑school seniors: Brady, a four‑year varsity basketball starter in the marketing pathway who has helped in Freshman Seminar and plans to attend Lebanon Valley College to study actuarial science; and Seth Conover, an AP student involved in band and choir who plans to attend Kutztown University to study film, media and TV production. Elementary students honored included second‑grader Kayson Schultz (Mrs. Melissa Combs' class) and fourth‑grader Mara Kramer. The board also presented a plaque to student representative Neil Molloy for her service to the Board of School Directors.

Principal Lee Jordan of Craig's Creek Elementary described the Girls on the Run program as a nationally recognized, research‑based curriculum for third through eighth graders that combines physical activity with life‑skills lessons to build confidence, emotional resilience and decision‑making. Coaches Jackie Gordon and Malia Vertolli said the Craig's Creek team met twice weekly for about 10 weeks; the season included a community end‑of‑season 5K at York College. Gordon told the board the team grew to 19 participants this year and included parent volunteers and former student teachers as assistant coaches. Student remarks prepared for the meeting noted skills learned such as breathing techniques and “happy pace” running strategies used during testing and races.

The presentation emphasized that Girls on the Run at Craig's Creek was offered at no cost to participants to remove financial barriers. The board invited families and staff to join student photo acknowledgements following the recognitions. No formal board action was taken on the program during the meeting.

The board's recognitions and the Girls on the Run presentation occurred during the regular agenda's student‑recognition segment and under the educational presentation portion of the meeting.","The Eastern York School District honored high‑school and elementary Students of the Month and heard from Craig's Creek staff about the Girls on the Run program, which ran a 10‑week, no‑cost season and concluded with an end‑of‑season 5K.","actionData","errors"]
