Board Meeting Notes
2024-25 Board Meeting Notes
Rather than having to navigate the agendas, the Board offers this synopsis of this school year's work. Any archived board meeting notes can be found at the bottom of this webpage.
If there are any issues you feel the Board should address, you can contact us at our District email; addresses are listed here. For issues related to the classroom work of your student or building issues, please contact the teacher and/or principal. For other District issues, we will direct your concerns to the appropriate administrator or consider the issues as a Board when appropriate.
Our meeting schedule is also posted on the website. You’re always welcome at any meeting.
Winter 2025 Board Notes
A PDF version of the below information can be found here.
It has been an interesting winter with low temperatures and a couple of snow days. Those days have been made up without impacting our annual calendar. Administration is working with the newer state regulations to simplify the process next year by utilizing virtual days. Meanwhile, the Board approved a two-year calendar for 2025-26 and 2026-27, giving everyone more predictability.
The Board investigated establishing an in-house clinic but couldn’t move forward due to zoning issues. We will continue to follow up with alternative options as they are proposed.
Our full policy review is close to completed as Administration reviews updates on several. AI has become a growing issue for students and staff. The new policy #815.1 will give clarity to students, and staff is being offered CPE to adjust to the new normal.
Updates of the Comprehensive Plan show positive results from the Action Steps that are regularly monitored. We receive regular reports from curriculum & instruction staff and their work on the priorities from the three-year Comprehensive Plan.
Our volunteer partners, both District related and community-centered, continue to maintain connections with us.
Meanwhile, budget development continues to be a challenge. Work has been continual on the 2025-26 budget, and we have reviewed the contributing budgets (athletics, food service, technology, facilities & maintenance), as well as budgets from the IU13, Lancaster County Academy, and the CTC.
We have approved new courses to serve student interest and look forward to updating the Student Handbook with reasonable, simplified discipline guidelines.
The Leola renovation continues to move smoothly and within budget while plans begin for Fritz.
We are currently reviewing changes to the Facility Usage guidelines to simplify the process and maintain quality of fields and other facilities.
We are pleased to accept renewed sponsorships through Market Street Sports.
In January, we presented our Educator Award of Excellence to an outstanding staff member, Jill Stoltzfus, who teaches eighth grade math and algebra.
As spring fast approaches, we hope you will enjoy the many presentations, programs, and activities of our students, including Graduation which has been scheduled for June 6. And, of course, you’re always welcome to attend Board meeting in-person or virtually. Please note: primary elections are May 20 and will feature new candidates to join our Board in December.
