Redford Union board appoints student representative, names MASB delegates and a RESA PAC representative
Summary
At the meeting, the Board of Education approved the consent agenda, appointed Axel Barajas as student representative by roll call and selected two MASB delegates and a Wayne RESA Parent Advisory Committee representative after votes recorded by roll call.
At its meeting (date not specified), the Redford Union Schools District No. 1 Board of Education approved several personnel and representative appointments, including a student representative, two delegates to the Michigan Association of School Boards conference and a parent advisory committee representative to Wayne RESA.
The board first approved the consent agenda by voice vote after a motion moved by Mr. Osovski and seconded by Mrs. Martin. “Motion carries,” the chair said after the voice vote.
Student representative: The board appointed Axel Barajas as the Board of Education student representative for the 2025–26 school year on a roll call vote. The motion to appoint Barajas was moved by Mrs. Martin and seconded by Miss Miller. The roll call produced six yes votes and one no: Mr. Bailey voted no; Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Martin, Miss Miller, Mr. Osovski and the chair voted yes. The chair announced the motion carried, 6–1.
MASB delegates: The board also appointed Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Dean as delegates to the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) conference, with Miss Miller as seconder. The motion passed by roll call; the chair announced the motion carried.
Wayne RESA Parent Advisory Committee representative: The board appointed Bethany Gomillion to serve as the district’s representative on the Wayne RESA Parent Advisory Committee. The motion, moved by Miss Miller and seconded by Mr. Osovski, passed on a roll call vote, 5–2. During discussion board members noted Gomillion had served the previous year but had stopped attending meetings; the board asked administration to request periodic reports back to the board and said it may revisit the appointment if attendance remains a problem.
Why it matters: the student representative and external delegates provide direct lines of student and district representation at regional and statewide forums. The appointments and votes were recorded on the public record and will determine who represents the district in MASB sessions and in Wayne RESA parent advisory meetings.
Ending: Board members reviewed upcoming meeting dates and adjourned the meeting at 6:48 p.m., “We’re adjourned at 06:48,” the chair said on the record.
