The York Suburban School District is about to open the doors of our six school buildings for another exciting school year! We will greet approximately 3,000 students, eager to learn and engage in all aspects of the educational program. Once again, great things will happen in the classroom, on stage, in the gym and on the field. Welcome back students and staff!
The District is very grateful to the larger community for the ongoing support provided for all that we do. This year, we added several teaching positions to accommodate our growing student population and to ensure that we are able to continue to meet the needs of all students in appropriately sized classes. In a five-year period, 2010-2015, the District reduced its professional staff by 26, despite the increasing enrollment. It was very important that we turn that tide and reestablish some of those positions so that we can continue to provide the best possible educational experience for all students.
Again, thanks to the support of our community, the District has also been able to tackle a number of maintenance projects that had been deferred for years due to financial constraints. As a matter of priority, we first tackled those projects linked to safety concerns. An aging middle school kitchen has been refurbished to provide a safe and healthy environment for our 750 middle school students. We have added secure entrances to our Middle School, East York, and Indian Rock buildings. With these renovations, each of the offices will look a bit different as well. The Trojan athletic field received a new carpet and the auxiliary gym of the high school has been converted to a valuable teaching space.
New staff. Refurbished facilities. Continued excellence. We are…..YS!
