The board conducted each vote separately by roll call. Several items drew brief discussion before votes; others were approved with no further comment.

Key outcomes

- Minutes approval: The motion to approve the minutes for the March 6, March 12 and March 26, 2025 meetings passed by roll call, 6 yes, 1 absent.

- Resolution 1.8 (Personnel recommendations): Approved by roll call (5 yes, 1 no, 1 absent). A board member recorded a “no” vote; the motion passed.

- Resolution 1.9 (Letter of agreement for Shanda Forward — school counselor duties): Approved by roll call (5 yes, 1 no, 1 absent). During discussion Trustee Relaford and another member said a single counselor caseload exceeding 300 students would be too large and would leave students without adequate service; supporters said the agreement reflected current staffing constraints and collective-bargaining arrangements.

- Resolution 1.1 (Authorization to approve educational professional service agreement with Teach for America): Approved by roll call, 6 yes, 1 absent. Board members urged staff and uncertified educators to consider the program’s funding and certification pathway.

- Resolution 11.6 (Authorization to purchase food-service point-of-sale units): Approved by roll call, 6 yes, 1 absent.

- Resolution 21.15 (Authorization to extend school bus transportation service agreement): Approved by roll call, 6 yes, 1 absent.

- Resolution 21.16 (Authorization to extend school safety advocate services): Approved by roll call, 6 yes, 1 absent.

- Resolution 25.2 (Authorization to purchase tutoring services): Approved by roll call (5 yes, 1 no, 1 absent). Vice President McIntyre recorded a “no” vote in that roll call; at least one board member spoke in favor citing student support needs.

- Item 22.4 (Master contract for the Congress of Flint School Administrators — principals, assistant principals, and school improvement chairs): Approved by roll call, 5 yes, 1 no, 1 absent. Several administrators present were recognized by the board after the vote.

Several items were described as informational or upcoming business rather than items needing board action, including staff appreciation logistics and an item noted as informational in the meeting packet.

Votes and roll call statements are recorded in the meeting transcript. Where roll-call names were read aloud, the clerk recorded individual “yes” or “no” responses during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Board Meeting April 16, 2025 – 6:30 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Flint Board of Education approved multiple resolutions by roll call at its regular meeting, including personnel changes, a Teach for America agreement, service contract extensions and purchases for food-service point-of-sale equipment, transportation and tutoring.","taxTitle","Flint School District, School Boards, Michigan","taxId",61132,"location","Michigan","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6600601,"Clark Construction says North Flint campus \"cube\" is on schedule; glazing, inspections next 30 days",524,1202000,1726000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3032768-5f52b10712b3ef20d9a1f8a3533c22de&start=1202&end=1726","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3032768-5f52b10712b3ef20d9a1f8a3533c22de/thumbnail_1202000.jpg","/articles/6600601/Michigan/Clark-Construction-says-North-Flint-campus-cube-is-on-schedule-glazing-inspections-next-30-days","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6600601-ca61e1a840a5ee19c929750f26946dfb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770803090&Signature=Ys9P9offbTyOw2sPn3xa1TJMMGdSvMjMDVwPrVjXf2yX5hTswn2LgpBs1S42sjdB0DF2f127AcmbDqQuv-lwt5pUBbHl48NTagIFY7Lh~B67RB-a9un32049thKnDmhooNC~AhSFE9RwQIXJlHnjW1Kr623QeU9AApuZzblAmjta9YXnxsHbT7d4MosY6CLquuZRwNjCxeeTjboijBV~RKNkkJnZx6SVCiSd01lt3tI50HNr8AjYI3lMhnfIgAhBC5cl5A2zaxBkhRByGxBJEOPqqKMqqKTHrIVNBUwsPJ3foa06apP9xf8aZwgIAtRWAa7vKhPJYYrQJLrmyfR-pQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Clark Construction reported progress this week on the North Flint campus expansion, telling the Flint Board of Education that the project is on schedule and will begin glazing and a round of mechanical, electrical and plumbing inspections over the next 30 days.

The contractor said masonry, the steel structure and roofing are complete, curtain-wall framing is in place and the team has started glazing. Interior concrete has been poured and mechanical-electrical-plumbing (MEP) rough-in work is finished in several areas, the company said. “We’re on schedule,” the contractor said.

The single-story \"cube\" will include a roughly 5,000-square-foot footprint per floor, an eight-lane competitive running track surrounding a natural-grass football field, and four basketball/pickleball courts, the contractor said. With tables and chairs, meeting rooms on each level will hold about 50 people; without tables the building capacity was given as about 260 people, a figure that also accounts for office and small-room space.

Contractors described the next 30 days as a busy window: installers will put glazing in the curtain-wall system, begin exterior stone masonry at the building base, finish restroom framing and interior ceilings, and complete block fill and painting. The company said it had about 40–44 people onsite on the most recent workday and that the state building inspector is scheduled to visit next Thursday.

The contractor also described interior work nearing completion in specialized spaces: the gross-motor room has MEP rough-in complete, ductwork and hydronic piping in place, and additional windows due within a month. Connector framing and windows are installed; the elevator shaft and associated floors were described as substantially complete.

Superintendent Jones and board members said they are coordinating tours for students at nearby schools to see the work and learn about crafts and engineering careers. The contractor said it is working with school principals and engineers from Stantec and the project architects to arrange half-day visits for students that would include trade partners and engineers explaining applied career paths.

Board members asked practical questions about capacity and restrooms. The contractor answered that there will be gang-style restroom groupings — described as two to three toilets per group — with one restroom upstairs and one downstairs, and that some final decisions on fixtures remain tied to the final build-out. The board also asked about glazing impact resistance; the contractor said installed glass is designed not to shatter like ordinary pane glass, but it is not ballistic-rated.

The district and contractor said there is no additional action requested of the board at this meeting. The project manager said inspections and trade work scheduled for the next month will determine the next public update.","Clark Construction told the Flint Board of Education the new \"cube\" building at the North Flint campus has steel, masonry and roofing complete; glazing and interior inspections are planned in the next 30 days.

A board member said the repurposing decision was made by the board in October 2023 and apologized to families who received conflicting information. The board member said Nethercutt is operating at about 63% capacity and that families will have the opportunity to transition to Freeman, which the board said is approximately 2.5 miles away.

The board and superintendent addressed community concerns about communication and transition logistics. The transcript indicates some community forums scheduled to explain the repurposing were canceled due to weather; the board asked staff to ensure families receive clear information and to direct individual questions to district staff for follow-up.

Superintendent Jones urged district staff, principals and partners to present a positive front during the transition and to make supports available for students and families, saying staff are charged with ensuring the move is handled with sensitivity to minimize emotional disruption for scholars.

Board members thanked staff who attended community meetings at Nethercutt and recommended that the district continue to route questions to district staff for processing. No formal vote to change the October 2023 decision was recorded; the board’s remarks at the meeting reiterated and affirmed the previously stated decision to repurpose the building.","Board members reiterated a prior decision to repurpose Nethercutt, said the building is operating at about 63% capacity, and the district promised supports and a coordinated transition for families moving to Freeman Elementary School.","actionData","errors"]
