The School District of the City of York Board of School Directors approved a series of routine and specific items during its Oct. 15 meeting, including the district’s 2026 fleet plan and a revised policy on attendance at meetings via electronic communications.

The board first approved minutes from a prior meeting by voice vote; the motion carried. Members then approved the consent agenda after pulling two items (8a and 8u) for separate consideration; the remaining consent items were approved by voice vote.

Resolution 8a (fleet plan for 2026, Enterprise): Director Souffler asked whether district vehicles are allowed for personal use; administration and the solicitor said district vehicles are meant for business use and that the policy manual will be reviewed to determine whether a board policy or administrative regulation should be added. Staff noted GPS locators are installed on the vehicles. After the discussion the board approved the fleet plan (motion carried).

Resolution 8u (policy 6.1: attendance at meetings via electronic communications): Director Souffler spoke in opposition to several changes in the draft policy, citing concerns about accessibility and transparency. A public commenter, Shannon Garcia, had earlier written that proposed restrictions on electronic participation and electronic public comments would reduce access for parents and community members who rely on remote options. The board ultimately approved the revised policy after a recorded voice vote; the transcript records at least one “no” vote and further opposition but does not list a roll-call tally by name in the minutes available in the transcript.

No additional formal votes or new contracts were approved during discussion of these pulled items. The board then continued with reports and adjourned the meeting.
