York, Neb. — The York Board of Education at a noon meeting July 10 approved a set of district policies, adopted student handbooks for the 2026-27 school year and set next year's lunch and breakfast prices for elementary, middle and high schools.
The actions were routine, procedural items on the board's agenda. Board member Brian Tonniges moved, and Alex Hildebrand seconded, approval of the first and final reading for a package of policies identified by number. The board approved the policies on a roll-call vote with the members present voting "yes." The policies approved were listed on the agenda as 2008, 3003, 3003.1, 3004.1, 3048, 3061, 4017, 4019, 4056, 4065, 5001, 5003, 5035, 5048, 6009, 6038 and 6046.
In other business, Board member Alex Hildebrand moved to approve the 2026-27 student handbooks as presented; Pepper Papineau seconded and the motion passed on a roll-call vote. The handbooks were listed on the agenda under "Consider Student Handbooks for 2026-27." No substantive changes to handbook contents are recorded in the minutes segments provided.
The board set next year's meal prices in two separate motions. Board member Matt Holthe moved to approve lunch prices of $3.50 at YES (York Elementary School), $3.60 at YMS (York Middle School) and $3.60 at YHS (York High School); Brian Tonniges seconded and the motion passed on a roll-call vote. Holthe later moved to set breakfast prices at $1.90 for YES, YMS and YHS; Alex Hildebrand seconded and the motion likewise passed.
Routine business also included approval of the June 8, 2026 minutes and payment of bills and checks, each approved on roll-call votes after motions were made by Matt Holthe and seconded as noted in the record.
Agenda items proposing an executive-session strategy discussion and a potential development agreement with Southeast Community College were listed but marked "not needed at this time" and deferred to a future meeting.
The meeting, held at the Office of the Superintendent, 1715 N. Delaware Ave., convened at 12:00 p.m. and adjourned at 1:01 p.m. Gayla K. Knight is listed on the record as secretary for the meeting.
