The York Public Schools Board of Education on April 14, 2025, approved a slate of routine personnel, financial and facilities actions, including adopting an energy-financing project delivery system intended to support an HVAC improvement project, the board’s minutes show.
The action on the HVAC work authorized the superintendent to take all steps required under state law and district procedure to carry out the financing and project delivery; the motion, made by Board member Brien Alley and seconded by Board member Alex Hildebrand, passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.

The minutes list the contract as presented and approved.

The board’s minutes record each motion with the mover and seconder and show unanimous yes votes from the six present board members: Alex Hildebrand, Brian Tonniges, Matt Holthe, Pepper Papineau, Brien Alley and Alison North.
