Summary
At its Aug. 12 meeting, the York Board of Education approved prior minutes and payments (with one abstention on a vendor payment), appointed Superintendent Mitch Bartholomew to oversee federal programs for 2024–25, approved a girls wrestling coop with McCool and the 2024–25 staff handbook, and appointed Alex Hildebrand to the board.
The York Board of Education met Monday, Aug. 12, 2024, at the Office of the Superintendent in York and approved a series of routine administrative and personnel items before adjourning at 6:17 p.m.
Board member Amie Kopcho moved to approve the July 8, 2024, minutes as presented; Pepper Papineau seconded the motion, which passed on roll call. Later in the meeting, Brien Alley moved to approve payment of the board’s bills and checks but asked that the Kopcho Sanitation bill be set aside so Kopcho could vote on the remaining items; Pepper Papineau seconded and the motion passed on roll call.
Brien Alley subsequently moved that the board approve payment of the Kopcho Sanitation bill and have a check drawn in payment of the same; Pepper Papineau seconded. Board member Amie Kopcho abstained from that vote because of a family connection; the remaining members approved the payment.
Board member Amie Kopcho moved and Alison North seconded a motion to appoint Superintendent Mitch Bartholomew to oversee federal programs for the 2024–25 school year; the motion carried on roll call. The minutes record the appointment but do not specify a term length or additional delegated authorities for the assignment.
Pepper Papineau moved and Brien Alley seconded approval of a girls wrestling cooperative with McCool for the 2024–25 and 2025–26 seasons; the board approved the cooperative on roll call. The board also approved the 2024–25 staff handbook after a motion by Amie Kopcho and a second from Alison North.
In the meeting’s final action on personnel, Pepper Papineau moved and Alison North seconded the appointment of Alex Hildebrand as a new member of the York Board of Education; the motion passed on roll call.
The agenda listed reports — including 2023–24 and 2024–25 budget updates and a YPS EL update — but the minutes do not include details of those presentations. The board acknowledged the Open Meetings Act and verified publication of the meeting notice on Aug. 3, 2024. The meeting opened at about 5:36 p.m. and adjourned at 6:17 p.m.
