The Central York School District Board of School Directors approved a package of personnel actions and policies during its April 13 meeting, including the appointment of Dr. Kevin Yucheff as assistant superintendent and adoption of a suicide‑awareness, prevention and response policy.
Board President presented the combined slate of action items. Trustees voted to approve athletic co‑curricular appointments, retirements and resignations, transfers and new employment as a group; the board then voted to appoint Dr. Kevin Yucheff to the assistant superintendent position for the term 02/01/2027 through 06/30/2032 and to approve the related employment contract. “Congratulations, Doctor Yucheff,” the Board President said after the vote.
The board also approved a CYESPA bereavement memorandum of understanding and an independent school psychologist contract that staff had presented earlier to address current staffing gaps. Trustees discussed the psychologist contract during the business portion of the meeting and noted it will keep workflow moving until newly hired candidates start next year.
In the meeting’s policy segment, trustees approved the final adoption of policy 819 on suicide awareness, prevention and response after edits that the board said update terminology and reference the use of AI where relevant. A board member thanked staff for inclusive language changes and “being inclusive also of the new terminologies and even AI.”
On community items, the board approved facility rentals and fundraisers; the motion carried but one trustee (identified in the transcript as Mike) recorded a dissenting vote on that item.
What’s next: several items discussed will return for implementation details or further action as required by district process. Where the board voted by voice, specific individual tallies were not recorded in the discussion transcript and are listed in the official minutes packet.
