Board tables proposal to paint inspirational messages on high-school sidewalks pending city review
Summary
A board member proposed painting inspirational messages on sidewalks at the high school. Board members raised questions about whether sidewalks are city property and whether permission is required; the board voted to table the item until staff can clarify city requirements and logistics.
The Macomb School District Board discussed a proposal to paint inspirational messages on sidewalks at the high school and voted to table the matter while staff confirm whether the sidewalks are city property and what permissions would be required.
Board member Lynn Martin moved to encourage students by adding inspirational messages on sidewalks at the high school, saying she wanted the board to "make sure that we encourage our students by, having inspirational messages, hand on the sidewalks." Other members asked for more detail and whether the sidewalks in question were city property, and staff suggested consulting with city personnel (Miss Monroe or Ms. Moore) to determine whether special permission would be needed.
The board agreed to table the item so staff could get clarity from the city and provide an exact plan for what the project would look like and what approvals would be required. A motion to table was made and seconded and carried, with the item to return when permissions and details are confirmed.
