They are not old enough to drive, work, date, or be the boss.  But on November 10, 11, and 12, 6th grade students from North Hills Elementary School had the opportunity to run a bank, manage a restaurant, produce a TV show, screen print t-shirts, create an online newspaper, write checks, and even vote.  Following a four-week classroom curriculum, students visited JA BizTown, one of 24 JA USA facilities, for the day-long, hands-on experience. As business people, they are responsible for managing staff, working as a team, accounting for business expenses, and the challenge of making enough money in their business to pay off their loans and make a profit.

Central York School District's School Board, Administration, Faculty & Staff, Parents/Guardians and Community members have been working together for the past few years to determine how we can best support our K-12 learners with a customized education experience designed to best meet each individual student's needs while preparing them for success in school and beyond.

Although a lot of the conversations about customized learning started with our Comprehensive Planning Process, and continued through several public Town Meetings and School Board meetings, we are still hoping for more opportunities to engage directly with parents/guardians about what this means for our schools. 

We are currently in the planning stages and talking about many different ways that we can provide the best learning experience for our students and families - and we definitely need input from our parents and guardians to help with this process!

Here are some upcoming opportunities to dialogue directly with the administration, learn more, share concerns and gain a better understanding of what MCL is - and is not.
