Board names delegate for Wayne Risa director election and approves preliminary Wayne Risa general fund budget
Summary
The Southgate Board designated Dr. Darlene Pomponio as its delegate to cast its Wayne Risa directors’ election vote and approved the Wayne Risa preliminary 2025–26 general fund budget.
The Southgate Board of Education on May 27 designated Dr. Darlene Pomponio to represent Southgate and cast its vote for two Wayne Risa board candidates and approved the Wayne Risa preliminary 2025–26 general fund budget for submission.
Staff explained that Wayne Risa — a regional governing body of elected boards of education in Wayne County — requires participating boards to delegate a representative to vote in the directors’ election. The board voted to designate Dr. Pomponio as the delegate to cast Southgate’s votes for incumbents James Berry and Linda Jackson at the Wayne Risa election on June 2, 2025.
Board members also reviewed the preliminary Wayne Risa 2025–26 general fund budget, which staff said must be approved by June 1 for submission. A motion directing the board secretary to submit Southgate’s approval, with any accompanying comments, passed at the meeting.
Both actions were approved by recorded motion without a roll‑call vote count provided in the transcript beyond the chair’s confirmation of passage.
