York Public Schools board approves tuition increases for 2026‑27, keeps activity pass prices

The York Public Schools Board of Education voted June 8 to increase out‑of‑district tuition rates for the 2026‑27 school year and to maintain current activity pass prices.

Board member Matt Holthe moved to approve the tuition increases and Alison North seconded. The tuition rates approved for 2026‑27 are: SUCCESS program $30,000; SPED II $17,500; Regular education $13,000. The motion passed by unanimous roll call of the members present (Alison North, Alex Hildebrand, Brien Alley, Matt Holthe and Pepper Papineau), 5-0.

Separately, the board voted to leave activity pass prices unchanged for 2026‑27. Board member Alison North moved to leave prices as listed (Students $15; Senior citizens age 60+ $45; Adults $100; Family $185); Pepper Papineau seconded and the motion passed 5-0.

At the same meeting the board also approved the May 11, 2026 meeting minutes and approved bills and checks as presented; both routine motions passed by unanimous roll call. The minutes list routine administrative reports (YES construction update, YPS transportation update, and May budget update) but do not document extended deliberation or amendments to the items shown in the excerpt provided.

The meeting began at 5:30 p.m. at the Office of the Superintendent, 1715 N. Delaware Ave., York, Nebraska, and adjourned at 7:57 p.m. The minutes do not record budgetary line‑item changes tied to the tuition decision; board members did not provide additional details about how the tuition increases will be implemented in the public minutes excerpt.
