Summary

Superintendent said staffing is nearly full for 2026–27, preliminary enrollment projections show kindergarten up about 40 students from last year, YHS roof work is complete and ceilings/LED upgrades are underway; he also offered sympathy for alum Hannah Rapp.

In closing remarks the superintendent gave several operational updates: the district is nearly fully staffed for certified and noncertified positions for 2026–27, preliminary enrollment projections show kindergarten up roughly 40 students versus last year, and Yorktown High School roofing and interior work is wrapping up.

"Kindergarten currently is plus about 40 over last year," the superintendent said, adding the official pupil count will be locked on Oct. 1. He noted the YHS roof is finished and the district is awaiting the final bill from the construction manager, and that ceilings in every hallway and LED lighting upgrades have improved the building’s appearance. He also expressed sympathy for the family of Hannah Rapp, a 2018 graduate reported to have died over the weekend.

The superintendent said Skillman is involved in softball site work and exterior painting; board members asked for project-specific cost estimates to help prioritize items in the strategic plan.
