Board approves temporary staffing contracts with internal-posting requirement; some directors oppose select personnel transfers
Summary
The board approved agreements with staffing vendors (Delta T, Add Education) that include new language requiring the district to post openings internally first; directors also debated and approved personnel transfers while two members registered 'no' votes on specific transfers tied to moving full-time aides to part-time.
The West York Area School District board voted to approve vendor agreements with staffing firms to provide temporary aides and other personnel, adding explicit contract language that vendor hires will be supplanted when the district fills positions internally.
Directors said the change ensures the district attempts to hire locally before relying on outside agencies. One director noted that the agenda language now requires agencies to post vacancies on the West York hiring website and that district onboarding will replace agency workers as soon as permanent hires are confirmed.
During the personnel portion of the agenda, board members debated transfers listed under section G8 (letters C–M and O–R) that move some positions from full time to part time. Two directors said they would vote against those specific transfers because of prior concerns flagged when the budget passed; the motion ultimately carried with recorded nays noted in the minutes.
President Rice confirmed the board will maintain job postings for West York positions and only use agencies as a temporary supplement when internal hiring cannot meet immediate needs.
