Central York

The Central York School District Board of School Directors on Monday, June 19, 2017, voted against a resolution to refinance and restructure the York County School of Technology Authority, Series of 2007 Bonds and financing the renovations and additions to the school.

The Central York School Board supports the educational programs and services provided for the district and county’s students, but does not support the outdated and inequitable funding formula assigned to school districts decades ago.  

The Central York School Board believes that the York County School of Technology Joint Operating Committee, which encompasses representatives of school districts throughout York County who use YCST programs and services, must revisit its Articles of Agreement and how debt is assigned to its collective members.

Specifically, while enrollment fees for cooperating districts are currently set at a consistent fee of $11,500 per student, regardless of the student’s district of residence, debt is assigned based on the assessed value of each district. Under this formula, Central York is carrying the largest portion of the Authority’s debt despite sending fewer students to YCST annually than many other school districts.

Central York School District Board of School Directors believes a review of the charter, Articles of Agreement and funding formula is necessary before it can support any of the Joint Operating Committee’s proposed projects or actions that could incur additional debt for YCST and subsequently Central York School District and our taxpayers.

While the Board is certainly in favor of restructuring and refinancing old bonds in order to save money on future payments, it is not in favor of incurring new debt for the reasons previously stated.
