Yough School Board ratifies five-year teachers' contract and approves routine personnel, calendar and vendor items
Summary
The Yough School District board ratified a five-year collective bargaining agreement with the teachers' union and approved multiple routine personnel appointments, conference requests and district contracts during its January meeting.
The Yough School District Board of Directors on an unanimous voice vote ratified a five-year collective bargaining agreement with the York Educational Association covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, and approved several personnel, calendar and vendor items on its January meeting agenda.
The board approved a motion that bundled five budget-and-finance items, including the proposed 2025 tax rate and several budget transfers. The motion to approve those items was made by Gardner and seconded by Umlander; all board members present voted in favor. The board also voted to ratify the collective bargaining agreement; the motion was made by Kenora and seconded by Gardner and passed by voice vote.
Other personnel actions the board approved included acknowledging intermittent FMLA and sabbatical leave requests and extending Mikkela Burke, an instructional aide in Mendon, to a long-term substitute position at Yough Middle School from Jan. 20 through June 6. The board also approved hiring Chanika Lejuj, the district's current IT technician, as IT lead for Jan. 2 through June 30, 2025, at a stipend of $1,000 per month.
The board approved a slate of athletic hires and coaches and several overnight conference requests for staff. District operations approvals covered 10 items on the agenda, including re-adopting the Pennsylvania School Boards Association principles of governance, adopting the 2025 district calendar, adding two drivers to the STA list, and approving a co-managed IT services agreement with Mechanics LLC (as presented in the agenda packet).
The superintendent and staff presented these items without extended public debate. Board members moved and seconded motions on the listed items in a single-series of votes; roll-call attendance indicated seven members present and one excused at the start of the meeting, and the board used voice voting for approvals.
The board ended the meeting without receiving public comment on agenda items and adjourned.
