York School Board elects officers, sets 2025 meeting schedule and approves vendors
Summary
At a reorganization meeting, the York School Board elected officers for 2025, approved committee and solicitor appointments, set workshop and reorganization meeting dates, and approved routine finance items and a facilities contract award.
The York School District Board of Education elected its officers and approved a set of routine items and vendor awards during a reorganization meeting, according to actions taken on the record.
The board voted to appoint Jared Filippo as president and Matt Gardner as vice president to serve until the board's next reorganization meeting in December 2025. The board also voted unanimously to appoint Monica Ustashewski as treasurer for 2025 and approved a secretary to serve until the December reorganization meeting (name given in the record as "Canor"/variant spellings). The board also appointed Steve Kenders as temporary president at the start of the meeting.
The board approved the superintendent's routine finance items, including the minutes and treasury report, and authorized payment of general fund bills. The members also approved awarding a facilities contract described in the minutes as a "combine oven replacement project" to Trimark SF Kemp; the transcript lists an amount as "17,000 2:70," which was not stated in a clear, unambiguous dollar figure in the meeting record.
Other organizational actions included appointing legal counsel and committee assignments: the board recommended that the Board of Education appoint D'Addero and Cam Best as the board solicitors. The board set workshop/regular meeting dates for 2025 at 6:30 p.m. in the large group instruction room at York Senior High School, listing dates beginning Jan. 14, 2025, and continuing monthly through Dec. 3 (the record lists the full schedule). The board designated the local newspaper of record as the Tribune-Review (the transcript used a variant rendering). All of these organizational motions were approved on voice votes.
The board approved athletic and personnel items on the agenda: adding an individual (listed as Dustin Shoaff) to the activity list; approving the hiring of coaches (names listed in the minutes include Adam Snyder and Aidan McLaughlin); and approving the transfer of Brad Graman from volunteer girls varsity basketball to girls assistant varsity basketball. These personnel and extracurricular items were approved by motion and voice vote.
The meeting record shows routine motions carried with voice approval; where roll-call tallies are not provided in the transcript, the minutes record the motions as approved or carried. The minutes also record expressions of thanks to community volunteers and vendors who supported a district food distribution event.
