Summary
At its Aug. 25 meeting the York Board of Education unanimously approved prior minutes, accepted the resignation of teacher Dana Schmid and passed a resolution authorizing the issuance of a second series of voter-approved bonds with Northland Securities.
The York Board of Education met Monday, Aug. 25, 2025, and voted unanimously to approve the Aug. 11 minutes, accept the resignation of a district teacher and authorize the issuance of a second series of voter-approved bonds with Northland Securities.
Board members opened by approving the Aug. 11, 2025, minutes after a motion from Alex Hildebrand and a second from Brian Tonniges. The roll call recorded six yes votes, and the motion carried.
The board then considered a teacher personnel matter. "Matt Holthe moved the board approve the resignation of Dana Schmid and thank her for her years of service," and Alison North seconded; the board approved the resignation by unanimous roll call. The transcript records the name Dana Schmid as the resigning teacher; the board motion did not specify a reason or an effective date.
Later the board took up a finance item: a resolution authorizing the issuance of the second series of voter-approved bonds with Northland Securities. Matt Holthe moved the resolution; Alison North seconded. The board approved the resolution on a unanimous roll call. The motion text in the transcript describes the action as "authorizing the issuance of the second series of voter approved bonds with Northland Securities." The transcript does not specify bond amount, projects to be funded, or a timetable for sale.
The meeting included agenda items listing approval of bills, a policy review and reports from school administrators (including a "1st Day Update" from building principals and a YMS HVAC update), but the transcript contains no substantive details about those items. The board acknowledged compliance with the posted Open Meetings Act and adjourned at 5:26 p.m.
