Statement from the York School Committee
Re: Superintendent Search
Dear YSD parents and guardians,
On Monday, the Bangor Daily News reported that Tim Doak has been selected as the next Superintendent of Schools of the York School Department. The announcement is a bit premature in that, by Maine statute, the decision to hire a superintendent of schools must be accomplished by a majority vote of the School Committee. After deliberations and discussions held in Executive Session on Wednesday evening, 29 March, the School Committee authorized the Chair to begin contract negotiations with Mr. Doak, and that process is proceeding on track to allow the required vote to occur at the regularly scheduled School Committee meeting on Wednesday, April 5. The other finalist candidate, CRES Principal Sean Murphy, was informed of the intentions of the School Committee on the morning of 30 March.
A press release and more robust announcement will follow the April 5th meeting. We invite you to join our public meeting in person at the York Public Library at 7pm; the meeting is also televised and available as a recording on our website following the meeting.
We appreciate the input and time invested by our school community and search committee in selecting our finalists.
Okay Village Elementary friends! Here is the second poem of the VES Poetry Project. Who do you think is narrating this fun poem about spring? Remember to let your teacher know who you think it is!

We are excited to present the first video of our VES Poetry Project! We hope you'll take a moment to watch the video and see if your kiddo knows who the mystery reader is! If they figure it out, be sure to let their teacher know!

Thank you to the parents and children who visited us at Math Night. As promised, they played games, solved puzzles, and enjoyed practicing and learning math. Parents and adults even learned a thing or two.
April is National Poetry Month and we at VES have a special collaborative project to share with you!
Over the course of the month we will be uploading short videos highlighting a poem about spring with illustrations drawn by students in each classroom. The videos will feature a mystery narrator reading the poem out loud. After watching the video with your child, see if they can guess who it is! If they think they know, have them tell their teacher the following day.
The first video will be released on April 1st, enjoy!
Math Night has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 28. Please mark your calendars and plan on visiting us at the York Middle School Wildcat Room from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
The agenda will include a brief presentation on Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for Math. Attendees will visit multiple stations to play games, solve puzzles, and read books, all while learning math. We sure hope you and your K-8 students will be able to join us!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from VES!
