York Board of Education approves $39.5 million bond, stadium agreement and phone system
Summary
At its Nov. 25 meeting the York Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution to issue up to $39.5 million in bonds for York Elementary improvements and approved a stadium asset agreement with the City of York and a new phone system contract with Elevate (Eakes). The board also accepted an early retirement and approved prior minutes.
At its Nov. 25, 2024 meeting, the York Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds not to exceed $39,500,000 to fund improvements at York Elementary School.
Board member Pepper Papineau moved to approve the bond resolution; Brien Alley seconded and the roll call record shows all six listed board members voted in favor. The motion authorizes the district to proceed with bond issuance up to the stated amount for elementary school improvements; the transcript records the motion and the roll call but does not specify project-level line items or a bond timeline.
Also during the meeting the board approved an intergovernmental asset agreement for Levitt Stadium with the City of York. Board member Alison North moved to approve the Levitt Stadium Asset Agreement; Alex Hildebrand seconded and the roll call indicates the motion carried. The transcript records the board’s approval of the agreement as presented but provides no additional terms or financial details in the minutes.
The board approved a new phone system contract with Elevate (Eakes). Board member Pepper Papineau moved to approve the contract; Amie Kopcho seconded and the roll call indicates the listed members voted yes. The transcript does not include the contract value, term length, or implementation schedule.
On personnel matters, Board member Amie Kopcho moved to accept the early retirement of Judy Danielson and to thank her for many years of service; Alison North seconded and the motion passed by roll call. The minutes record the board’s appreciation but do not provide Danielson’s position, last work date, or retirement terms.
Routine business items were handled with little or no discussion: the board approved the Nov. 11, 2024 minutes (moved by Pepper Papineau, seconded by Brien Alley) and listed 'Approval of Bills' on the agenda with no line-item discussion recorded. The agenda also listed a YHS SENCAP update under administrator reports, but the transcript includes only that agenda entry with no substantive update text.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:47 p.m. The minutes are signed by Gayla K Knight, Secretary. The transcript records motions, movers, seconders and roll-call results for each approval but does not include additional discussion, project budgets beyond the bond cap, contract terms for the phone system, or implementation timelines for the approved items.
