There is never a dull moment or time to waste within York Public Schools. We're constantly working to get better, to provide more opportunities for our students, to improve programs, etc. With that in mind, we are working on a few important initiatives as we finish the last quarter of 2012-13 and prepare for 2013-14.
Building security and school safety is at the top of our prioritized "to-do list." We're pursuing buzzer entry doors at YES and YMS to match what YHS will get through the bond issue project. We're also working on a 7-year facilities plan that will address overcrowding and traffic congestion issues throughout the district.
As far as programming goes, we continue to look for ways to add to our offerings for identified high ability learners. We will once again make "Bright Lights" courses available this summer as well as look into more school year offerings as well. This year alone, we've added "Invention Convention" and "Math Counts" to our array.
We're also looking to add more technology for our students and staff to use. We currently have four grants out waiting for approval that would help us purchase more iPads and chromebooks.
Thanks for your support of YPS. We're excited about what we've done and what we're going to do.
GO DUKES!
