Trustee Dean Verzio moved the motion, which was supported by D. Pittenger Scroft; President Moseley asked for unanimous approval and the motion passed with no recorded opposition.

The motion covered two board reports: \"board report 24-132\" (policy committee, April 14, 2025) and \"board report 24-133\" (regular P-12 meeting, April 14, 2025). A minor correction was requested during the review — capitalization of \"Arab Americans\" and removal of a placeholder comment — and the board approved the minutes after those clarifications.

Earlier in the meeting district staff (Mr. Addy) presented recommended donations for the board's acknowledgment. Donations listed on the record included:
- $586 to Fortson High School from the Dearborn Education Foundation for the Fortson Creative Summative Project.
- $300 to Henry Ford Elementary from the Dearborn Education Foundation for ukulele storage.
- $4,000 to Dearborn High School from the Dearborn Education Foundation for HOSA registration.
- $200 to Salina Elementary from Dearborn Goodfellows for student Eid celebration supplies.
- $600 to Salina Elementary from Access Youth & Education for Eid celebration supplies.
- $118 to Salina Elementary from the Amity Foundation for Eid celebration supplies.
- An adapted bicycle donated to House School by Amy and Andy Fradkin for use in adapted physical education and mobility training.

The transcript records staff thanking donors and the Fradkin family; the donations were presented to the board for acknowledgment. The minutes approval was the formal motion recorded and carried unanimously.

Ending
The board moved on to subsequent agenda items after approving the minutes and acknowledging donations.

Student recognitions included PTA Art Reflections winners (first-place Nada Mahdi, fourth grade at Howard; second-place Grama Driz, seventh grade at Woodworth; and third-place Karia Ali, eighth grade at Woodworth) and multiple honorable mentions. The board also noted student media awards: Dearborn High students won \"best of show\" at the Michigan Student Film Festival for a public-service announcement titled Speak Up, Stay Together, Stay Safe; the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded the students four regional student production awards. The district's Pioneer Press students won 27 awards at the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association spring awards.

Teacher awards and remarks
The board announced winners in multiple categories for the Chamber's Teacher of the Year program and invited winners to speak. Noaf Abudib introduced himself as an Arabic teacher at Dearborn High School. Deanne Jones, a fifth-grade teacher at Long Elementary, and Cathy Loris, a GSRP teacher at Snow Elementary, also spoke. Loris described her classroom approach to equity and inclusion, saying, \"Fair is not always equal,\" and explained how she tailors supports to meet each child's needs.

The board and superintendent also acknowledged winners from other categories, including the adult-education winner Andrew Wirtz and multiple administrators and staff recognized for certifications and accomplishments.

Why it matters
Administrators said the Teacher of the Year awards are student-nominated and provide recognition from the community and business partners; the superintendent noted the Chamber-sponsored awards attract thousands of student nominations (the district received close to 2,000 nominations this year). Board members and staff emphasized the role of teachers and school staff in student success and highlighted recent events — including superintendent honors night and district arts and media achievements — as examples of student work.

Ending
Board members invited attendees to district and school-level events, including a Dearborn High film festival where submitted videos will be shown. The board thanked the Chamber, sponsors and the many staff who organized events and supported students.

Dr. Malayko said the district already has been notified of approximately $5,800,000 in reductions tied to federal Titles II, III and IV. He also said a separate health-related federal program elimination was retroactive and represented about $1,400,000 over two years. Accounting for program support from Title I and IDEA, the superintendent said the district could be facing roughly $30,000,000 of federal and related funding pressure if all currently discussed reductions take effect.

Those figures matter because some programs referenced — including Title I and IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) — fund services the district is required to provide. \"So far Title I and IDEA which is the special ed have not been reduced — we're monitoring that very closely,\" Dr. Malayko said. He warned that if mandated programs lose federal support, the district would need to cover the shortfall from the general fund.

Why it matters: The superintendent said the combination of federal cuts and a protracted state budget process could force the district to make difficult choices or delay investments. Dr. Malayko said the district must adopt a budget by June 30 under state law even though state-level appropriations may remain unsettled into September.

Most important facts
- Federal notices: Dr. Malayko reported about $5.8 million in announced cuts tied to Title II, Title III and Title IV grants and an additional roughly $1.4 million in a recent health-related federal elimination described to the board as retroactive.
- Potential further exposure: The superintendent said Title I is about $15,000,000 and IDEA about $5,000,000 for the district; combining those amounts with the other cuts could approach $30,000,000 in pressure on district revenues.
- State budget timing and risk: Dr. Malayko said the district does not expect the state budget to be resolved before September, requiring the board to adopt an estimate by the June 30 legal deadline.
- At-risk categorical grant: He noted the district's at-risk categorical grant is approximately $24,000,000 and emphasized that categorical funding negotiations at the state level could affect that amount.

Supporting details and context
Dr. Malayko said some disputes will most likely proceed to the courts and that districts are coordinating with attorneys at the state and national level. He described membership in state and national superintendent groups as useful for advocacy and for legal and policy coordination. The superintendent said the district has added mental-health supports in recent years — including partnerships such as Care Solace and an internal staff support program (U Alliance) — and noted relatively high social-worker staffing levels.

On facilities planning, Dr. Malayko reported that the district is advancing bond planning and that architecture/engineering firm Quinn Evans presented infrastructure data at a recent meeting. He said trustees may receive additional briefings individually or in small groups before a future board meeting.

Board exchange and next steps
Trustee Patrick Leshkov asked whether the federal reductions were likely to be resolved; Dr. Malayko said he expects many of the issues will be litigated and that the district is working with attorneys. The superintendent told the board staff will continue to monitor developments, update trustees, and incorporate contingencies into the budget process.

Ending
Dr. Malayko asked the board to continue monitoring the federal and state budget developments closely and said staff would provide follow-up materials to trustees. The district will present its June budget estimate on schedule while continuing advocacy and legal monitoring.

","Superintendent Dr. Malayko told the Dearborn Public Schools Board on May 12 that recent federal reductions to education grants and continuing state-budget uncertainty could reduce the district's revenue by tens of millions, and that staff are preparing contingency plans while moving forward with bond planning for infrastructure needs.","actionData","errors"]
