Board members debated the scope and cost of the pilot in a lengthy discussion that covered teacher input, curriculum adoption costs and implementation supports. Several board members said the district needs a coach or project manager to work directly with teachers to observe instruction, plan with staff and analyze data. “In order to implement this program effectively, we need to have a coach,” a board member said during the meeting.

Administrators described the contract as a 90‑working‑day engagement during which the project manager would visit classrooms, perform needs assessments and support 35–40 teachers across grades. Staff and board members discussed the pilot’s present budget impact and longer‑term purchasing choices: the administration characterized the current contract as an initial investment to train staff and guide a decision about whether to adopt the curriculum more widely.

A motion to authorize the contract (agenda item 75) passed on a roll call that included these recorded votes in the transcript: Mister Bailey — Yes; Missus Bolton — Yes; Mister Fink — Yes; Missus Lawson — No; Mister Livingston — Yes; Mister Knowl — Yes; Missus Rohrabach — No; Mister Walker — Yes; Mister Zeth — Yes. The transcript includes a summary line read by the chair of “70 yeses, 2 noes,” and the board recorded that the contract will be reevaluated after the 90‑day period.

Board members emphasized safeguards: staff said the pilot is a one‑year pilot for the McGraw‑Hill product, that the software subscription was provided free during the pilot and that the district will track teacher feedback, student growth and implementation fidelity before committing to long‑term purchases of consumables. One board member asked whether the contract could be terminated early if it failed to meet expectations; an administrator replied that exiting the agreement would be possible.

The board also approved travel by district staff and two middle‑school students (with a parent chaperone) to present early results of the pilot at a McGraw‑Hill conference; the vendor agreed to cover registration and lodging, and the district noted only minor out‑of‑pocket expenses (meals) might remain.

The board’s decision authorizes short‑term, targeted support for classroom implementation and requires staff to report progress at the 90‑day review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","EYSD School Board Committee Meeting 9/18/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Eastern York School Board voted to contract a 90‑day project manager to support a second‑year McGraw‑Hill math pilot and professional development for roughly 35–40 teachers; the board agreed to reevaluate after 90 working days.","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},5978108,"Eastern York special-education update: district adds in‑house programs, reports tuition revenue and fewer out‑of‑district placements",1544,980000,2524000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793079-a003c172dd93126efa81c7f4ab9046a5&start=980&end=2524","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793079-a003c172dd93126efa81c7f4ab9046a5/thumbnail_980000.jpg","/articles/5978108/Pennsylvania/Eastern-York-special-education-update-district-adds-inhouse-programs-reports-tuition-revenue-and-fewer-outofdistrict-placements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5978108-c2dcf10e479909d56e4034d335050cc9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770655575&Signature=dfElB2smhWv7OlgMChJsmUHaWFCekx3zLWDsEZZaBuZQkbCExNmkMvRKj0LX3wjNd5O~Yt3xzhJyyMghJBLJQb1plCuYCHmNIRK2ZxVZ0cgSud~9pBSxEIjtl-F0H6c2HQARAl~HWbXu5S02ssSNFCJM-DgG~XzLMUj~OEcMou9ZPQWdrHwu-0xwoJjJ08HIcbdYPH2wbuivvhr~Jr0PZxyyP6HwSZ~CwAi56BT8QCjGcRfAlfO7UCriHzwDxjmEXVArNaRXfdzPvKd-ntKYKPH0GSsXaRkFkAOMC60M3GIG1YFw-QxOhQ7fMPc-fV~xV0MnhOd5TQ6Yf2d7QKLBVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Malloy, a staff member who presented the district’s special‑education update to the Eastern York School Board, said the district now lists 494 active special‑education students, up from about 470 at the end of the previous school year. “Special education is a revolving door and kids are in and out,” Dr. Malloy said, describing changes in enrollment and placements.

The presentation outlined that 10 students from other districts are now enrolled in Eastern York life‑skills, intensive learning support and autistic‑support programs; the district is billing tuition for those placements and reported roughly $444,000 in billings tied to those contracts. Dr. Malloy said three districts requested placements the district declined after reviewing paperwork and classroom capacity.

The report showed the district reduced out‑of‑district placements over time: about 64 in an earlier year, 43.5 at the end of last year and 33.5 at the start of the current year (the transcript notes the “half” counts students who attend York County School of Technology part time and whose tuition is prorated). Dr. Malloy said some placements are outside local control — for example residential or court‑ordered placements — and those numbers can be unpredictable.

Staff described program expansion: the district now operates 10 in‑house specialized programs after beginning the previous year with three. New openings include a 3–5 intensive learning support classroom at Kennenakley, a middle‑school life‑skills classroom transferred from the Lincoln Intermediate Unit (LIU), additional paraeducator support and in‑person speech services. Jamie Arnold, identified in the presentation as a behavior coach now providing occupational therapy, was mentioned as part of expanded in‑house services.

Administrators described post‑secondary transition supports and partnerships: the district pays tuition to the LIU for some post‑secondary programs such as “YTechX” at York County School of Technology, Project SEARCH at the hospital, and a “New Visions” community‑based classroom. The district is converting a trailer at “Hina Datsley” into an apartment to teach independent‑living skills and is exploring employer partnerships to place students in paid or unpaid work experiences; one student already works at “Flinch Falls,” staff said.

The board heard about state monitoring and auditing work required for post‑secondary transition services; staff said secondary teachers and counselors must complete required training and advisors from the state are providing coaching this year. The presentation also summarized parent and staff surveys: 44 parent responses and 24 staff responses flagged strengths (confidence in IEPs, MTSS process, administrator collaboration) and challenges (limited collaboration time, large caseloads, inconsistent building‑level communication). Dr. Malloy said leaders will expand structured collaboration and professional development in response.

Board members asked for financial context. A board member asked for a later financial summary showing special‑education department costs, savings and revenue so the board can assess budget impact; staff agreed to supply a top‑line dollar summary in a later briefing. The presentation closed with notice of a first special‑education parent night scheduled for Oct. 23 and local inclusion events such as Makayla’s Voice at Wrightsville Elementary and a three‑year Patan autism initiative.

No formal board action was taken during the presentation portion of the meeting; the item was informational and the board’s questions focused on capacity, tuition billing and future budget reporting.","District staff reported growth in in‑district special‑education programs, 494 active special‑education students, $444,000 in billed tuition from other districts and a decline in out‑of‑district placements to 33.5 from last year’s 43.5.","actionData","errors"]
