Chief Financial and Operations Officer Mrs. Kendigan introduced a proposed transfer of $200,000 from the 2024–25 general fund to the district’s capital reserve fund for future capital projects.

The administration also presented an agreement with Yellow Breeches Education Center for two secondary placements in the 2025–26 school year. The packet lists a tuition rate of $34,144 per student and optional transportation at $7,729 per student; administrators noted this represents a 3.8% increase over last year. The district said it did not utilize transportation last year but expects to need it this year.

The board packet includes a practicum articulation agreement with Liberty University to permit students from that institution to complete practicum hours, including student teaching, in the district. Trustees raised questions about interstate certification reciprocity; a board member and administrators noted students typically must hold certification in the state where they student-teach and said administrators would follow up with more definitive information before the next meeting.

Two contracted-service items with the Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit (LIU) were presented: a curriculum-training engagement (math abstract training and vertical K–12 facilitation) at a trainer cost of $3,456, and occupational/physical therapy services for the 2025–26 school year at $170.93 per hour for a student placed in Lancaster where the district’s IU could not provide services.

Finally, administrators presented a renewal with Rupert Detective Agency to provide a uniform, unarmed officer at $29 per hour (minimum four-hour call) on an as‑needed basis; the packet notes this is a $2 hourly increase from last year. Administrators said the district used about 120 hours and spent a little over $3,200 for these services last year when supplemental coverage was required at large events.

Board members asked clarifying questions about the Liberty University practicum (including concerns about transferability of out-of-state certification) and asked staff to provide definitive answers before a final vote. The items on the consent agenda were moved as a block during the meeting and considered approved at that time; the administration asked trustees to be prepared to vote on the listed contracts at the next meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-09-08 Board Planning Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Administrators presented a set of proposed financial transfers and contracts for board action at an upcoming meeting, including a $200,000 transfer to capital reserve and tuition/transportation rates for Yellow Breeches placements.","taxTitle","York Suburban SD, School Districts, Pennsylvania","taxId",60482,"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},6475264,"All-Sports and Music boosters report expanded concessions, 501(c)(3) status and volunteer support",631,2946000,3577000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9&start=2946&end=3577","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9/thumbnail_2946000.jpg","/articles/6475264/Pennsylvania/All-Sports-and-Music-boosters-report-expanded-concessions-501c3-status-and-volunteer-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475264-271805f0c57bd3844148e7b0f481e07b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773568381&Signature=IIttdJjpY3oPiQwoYr2-5EZQND7qrH6kVfcsgRzST8fBy6VqhV5e1~YxddMh-sGYcwNlxZNg6F7fv-3rtlqzNURqPZTDVp2gbOL6VU7x8zXxmjV7G5poL~9-YIdNhp8H6xoDSZHOUzuyYV5wvfcrhYOWhS-kiIaCrBRHhGth8hnhcAfsQToFU0EygY8yC9zhPPCopy5H6sJiVE7efVBgOgW29aK7Vz-ke8ruDc4D~srhPCfDuyenPIQ7I5UeDPSrq1j5bwY3rCGJjhfdUiSS-Z-UxEudAlhMf3cJlfxaeXR-CGyJGoj3k2a4tJVgdWHWKxMSgwdxdVRi8-F2FDC0gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives from the York Suburban All Sports Booster Club and the Music Boosters presented to the board about volunteer support, fundraising and recent organizational changes.

Kristen Hinder, president of the All-Sports Booster Club, told the board the boosters are providing concessions at stadium events and homecoming activities and have partnered with the Music Boosters to run the “Big Orange Cafe” at football and band events. Hinder said the club recently became a 501(c)(3) organization, which she said will make it easier for businesses to donate and for the boosters to offer scholarships to student-athletes. She also announced a new concession item developed with a local vendor, “Trojan Rumble,” a vanilla‑cheesecake ice cream with Oreo and orange sprinkles chosen by student vote.

Kate Swope, treasurer of the Music Boosters, described the music program’s volunteer and fundraising activities, noting the boosters reworked their bylaws and are operating as a 501(c)(3) to support high‑school vocal and instrumental ensembles. Swope listed the group’s contributions: meals for students during busy rehearsal periods, funding for drum-major leadership camp, uniforms and equipment support for marching band, scholarships for graduating seniors and sponsorship drives. She said the groups have entered a formal agreement to staff concessions jointly so both organizations can benefit financially and provide volunteer support across athletic and music events.

Both booster leaders invited parents and community members to attend monthly meetings and volunteer; Hinder said the All-Sports Booster Club meets the second Monday of each month and welcomes coaches, parents and athletes.

The board thanked the volunteers for their work; no action was required.","Representatives of the York Suburban All Sports Booster Club and Music Boosters updated the board on volunteer-driven concessions, a new 'Trojan Rumble' ice cream, partnerships with neighboring vendors, and recent 501(c)(3) organization status enabling tax-deductible donations.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6475269,"York Suburban begins cyclical special-education monitoring preparations; state review set for April",3001,3096000,6097000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9&start=3096&end=6097","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9/thumbnail_3096000.jpg","/articles/6475269/Pennsylvania/York-Suburban-begins-cyclical-special-education-monitoring-preparations-state-review-set-for-April","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475269-b5e6957cdeddbd6bf9b076e5bd198f05/orig.mp4?Expires=1773568381&Signature=L3PUMvjm~z86~CrJ0rWrUfRm2rAghl9SkQHTZ~dks4ly~bI7yYtx7H9ZSzhHy8ECJ1giiedjJ2kBZfOw-CTfZIilyrJat4ZHjp8GvneIqLvAw0MikQGtPiKVaZrugr64uq3y9jTruSPcrVsBfLf0dO0e9u2Ju3dABJQxmMnZyCdYef4PdJaYqfZ1XGLeRDLQ631XMAYrUfBm2LqYcDr97nDLyk5-Pt12CdCoHQBNOamro3yFW9ohMyw0mEd0oIZWDmSyNM4XadURia5m3GJkw8F-8-vd5x57A6L~EYf1GqvKSuy-uV9jNhj38EGJy~n37DM51f-XckV-i9RvwaRGvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","York Suburban special-education staff told the board they have begun pre-monitoring work ahead of a state cyclical monitoring visit scheduled for April.

Dr. Campbell and Sarah (names presented in the meeting) — identified in the meeting as district special-education administrators — briefed trustees on the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) monitoring process, which operates on a six-year cycle. Sarah said cyclical monitoring “is a federal requirement that is utilized to ensure that IDEA is still being followed,” and described the process as consisting of a facilitated self-assessment, educational benefit reviews (EBR), district surveys and an on-site visit by the state Bureau of Special Education.

The presenters told the board the district will open surveys for parents, teachers and students; surveys close 45 days before the on-site review and the facilitated self-assessment (FSA) is due 30 days before the team arrives. The state will provide a list of student files for review 10 days before the on-site visit; presenters said the review checklist includes roughly 230 checkpoints across evaluations, invitations and prior notices, IEPs and related documents.

Dr. Campbell said educational-benefit reviews will look at three years of a student’s special-education records to determine whether IEPs changed appropriately and whether students made progress on annual goals. If the Bureau finds noncompliance in a student file, the district must revise that student’s IEPs within 30 days; systemic corrective action plans must be submitted within 180 days and are subject to a follow-up monitoring visit.

Presenters said the monitoring team is from the state Bureau of Special Education and that the on-site review typically lasts several days; district staff will provide spaces for interviews and reviews. Board members asked about survey response rates, and the presenters said 30% response is a common target; they said offering opportunities to complete surveys while parents were in the building (for example, at IEP meetings) improves response rates. The presenters emphasized confidentiality and said district staff submitted alternate student names when a selected student was no longer in district enrollment or the file was subject to current litigation.

Board members asked about staff time required for the monitoring process; presenters acknowledged the workload and said they had already begun pre‑monitoring work and scheduled educational benefit review dates in February. The district will report monitoring findings and required corrective actions to the board after the state issues its findings.

No vote was taken; the presentation was informational and the district will return with monitoring findings and any required corrective-action plans after the state’s review.","District special-education leaders outlined the federal-state cyclical monitoring process required under IDEA, including timelines for surveys, student-file reviews and corrective action plans if deficiencies are found.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6475274,"York Suburban outlines summer facilities work: Valley View roof, flooring and building maintenance",778,2491000,3269000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9&start=2491&end=3269","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9/thumbnail_2491000.jpg","/articles/6475274/Pennsylvania/York-Suburban-outlines-summer-facilities-work-Valley-View-roof-flooring-and-building-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475274-32c53cec83efb260b68b75c87a2b7ffa/orig.mp4?Expires=1773568381&Signature=MXEq8nA7OJAy2Ux0iZNMOIlvCk016F99lfINUVPt~FPNlFwuZ1kpZYCYoJiuihjy4hwIxADIc-JZj2z52CKr8Pd-YRbyh1a9gbyGTuAartIPpoKXOp~rnXV3HRDR5PqwHkhidxfmthcEafHFSZ5aJkUvT8MaeJ6BXybzyJ-EwxpIivSgFqGdWOlVHkvoLsbFcUHoKvQCzgiUYibYPQqJArI2d8Zy~XH2Y5v6m6ducosbzqj87wgV2ANsT-zXWfalha39UAB-qoaR5NGFlz66e5d~9eqZ8kmt6RXmhqgMG5hO0drv9Ltc0TQA0pYSGcc5meLI7Nmzwupg~1efMlgkrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District facilities staff presented an overview of summer work at the board meeting, summarizing roofing, flooring and maintenance projects completed or underway across York Suburban schools.

Jessica Thompson, a facilities staff member introduced by Chief Financial and Operations Officer Mrs. Kendigan, told trustees the Valley View roof project was “substantially completed in August” and was funded in part by a $500,000 Pennsylvania facility improvement grant. Thompson stated the metal roof carries a manufacturer’s 30‑year material warranty and a 40‑year finish warranty; the flat roof component carries a 25‑year manufacturer’s warranty. She said remaining gutters would be replaced in the coming weeks.

Thompson said the district completed significant interior work at Valley View, replacing carpet tile in a set of classrooms and the music room with luxury vinyl plank (LVP), a low-maintenance product the district also uses at East York. When asked about further classroom flooring replacements, she told trustees the plan is to rotate renovations building by building over the next two-to-three years.

Other summer work Thompson highlighted included sewer-line repairs, power washing of tennis courts, paving repairs, a new catch basin near the science wing, installation of hallway display televisions, and routine preventative maintenance on chillers and boilers in buildings including East York and Indian (intermediate sites). She said the custodial and maintenance departments completed regular grounds work (mulching, shrub trimming, tree removal) and districtwide painting projects.

On Valley View roofing specifics, Thompson said warranties and manufacturer inspections will govern repairs: “With any warranty, you have to have a certified material person from this manufacturer to come in and do those inspections,” she said, describing the process for addressing hail or installation defects.

Trustees asked about warranty coverage and longevity; Thompson said she would provide more detailed warranty language on request and could check with other districts using the same roofing system about long-term performance. Board members also raised playground and mulch concerns and were told district grounds staff employ integrated pest management practices rather than routine pesticide spraying; custodial staff also perform periodic tilling of playground mulch to maintain impact control and reduce pooling.

Thompson framed the summer work as a mix of in‑house maintenance and contracted work and noted that custodial staff completed a training day in July; the presentation included photos and a list of the summer tasks.

The board did not take a separate vote on the overview; projects were described as completed or ongoing and tied to previously approved budgets and grant awards.","District facilities staff reported summer projects including a Valley View roof replacement funded in part by a $500,000 state facility improvement grant, conversion of some classrooms from carpet to luxury vinyl plank, contractor work and warranties, and routine preventive maintenance.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6475279,"York Suburban board reappoints Superintendent Scott Krauser to five-year term, 8-1",2790,1011000,3801000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9&start=1011&end=3801","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736116-f1251eb9eade7325683257e486da70b9/thumbnail_1011000.jpg","/articles/6475279/Pennsylvania/York-Suburban-board-reappoints-Superintendent-Scott-Krauser-to-five-year-term-8-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475279-3e86f96eabedeec72e6a1a909cd3a5d9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773568381&Signature=NC7kgusserSKKa8u4uVt~beGtwst3EXQ5ZI7PH-GThBBnEzt-kCy-sEElydbQr36UI32r02B9CiLmf3arpkiBCzffuREC8e80mZ3QyzFS~owR~JXXyAAvaldzfgd7v7KAv3tcA8rjOamIJnURnWy2m5wyF1jWX1THZuah08KYRQZDJkNIokVXp3t--7Nv-Oc63Pf51NNVI1zt99o0ckqrcvATDZzcCyoxKt7u0s83dtjCr52XE~iFVS-YfBe5JjYWf8D85HaXHPwg0n4JRc8zYxzR5r11s7a9OwjCsZeM~1UeAecnUm3B4tYetiCWvdoN7agTXtShPRsQ3VDXdkYvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The York Suburban School District Board of School Directors voted 8–1 to reappoint Dr. Scott Krauser as superintendent for a five-year term beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2031.

The board confirmed the appointment following a public-comment period where multiple residents, parents and community volunteers urged trustees to extend Krauser’s contract. Albert Blakey, a Springbark Township resident who identified himself as a long-time volunteer with the York Suburban Education Foundation and the Rotary Youth Exchange committee, told the board, “He is really good at his job,” and said he and his wife support an extension based on long experience with district schools. Other speakers — including Kristen Hinder, Shawna Griffith Myers, Rachel Scarpato and Nicole Wise — described Krauser as accessible, collaborative and student-centered.

The reappointment motion was brought forward as item 9.1 on the board agenda and carried after discussion among trustees. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call vote: yes — Desai, Fryer, Hessett, Robinson, Sam Martin, Schroeder, Sullivan and Turner; no — Sanders. President Giddick announced the motion carried 8–1.

Board members who supported the reappointment cited continuity of leadership amid ongoing building projects and district initiatives. Trustee comments during debate referenced Krauser’s responsiveness to the community and his role in district planning. Trustee Sanders, the sole dissenting vote, said he appreciated Krauser’s work but said he had not seen “objective measurables” sufficient to justify the contract’s increases in salary and benefits.

The contract text was presented in the meeting packet and summarized during board discussion. The board motion states a “starting salary of $2.02 9 comma $7.50 pursuant to the terms of the attached superintendent employment contract and in accordance with the school code” as written in the minutes (amount quoted verbatim from the posted motion because the numeric formatting in the transcript is irregular). Other items discussed by trustees during debate included an annual minimum increase tied to performance ratings, additional vacation and personal days, and employer retirement-match provisions; the transcript records a board member summarizing those package elements but does not provide a clean, itemized dollar-by-dollar breakdown in the public remarks.

After the vote, Krauser thanked the board and community: \"I look forward to the years to come,\" he said, noting the district’s administrative and teaching staff and the community’s role in supporting students.

The board recorded the appointment under the school code and will execute the superintendent employment contract as approved. The minutes show the vote and the motion language; details of the finalized contract (clean numeric salary figure and the full benefits schedule) will be included in the executed agreement attached to the official board minutes.
