Board appoints representative to YSDC after attendance concerns
Summary
Following concerns that the district lacked a voting representative at most recent YSDC meetings, the Yellow Springs board appointed a member to serve as the district's 2026 YSDC representative by a unanimous vote on March 11.
The Yellow Springs Exempted Village Board of Education discussed recent attendance records at the Youth/Yellow Springs Development/Cooperative (YSDC) and agreed to appoint a new voting representative after records showed the district had a voting vote at only one of the last eight YSDC meetings.
A board member reported she had contacted the YSDC executive director and learned most absences were unexcused; the board discussed options and the practical meeting schedule (typically the first Tuesday of the month from 4:30–6 p.m.). One board member volunteered to serve for the remainder of the year and a motion to appoint that member passed by a roll-call vote of four to zero.
Board members said the representative role requires limited preparation but regular attendance and the district will reassess representation next year. The board did not document an alternative representative or proxy arrangement in the meeting record.
