Outcome: approved (5–0). The resource will be placed in school library/class sets.
- Appointment of MASB voting delegate — Motion: appoint Carolyn Noble as the district voting delegate to the Michigan Association of School Boards delegate assembly (meeting 10/23/2025). Outcome: approved (5–0).
What the votes do not show: none of these items created a new policy; they were operational approvals (procurement, book adoption and a delegate appointment). Several items were previewed and discussed in committee prior to the meeting.
Ending: All listed motions passed by voice vote with the board indicating unanimous approval; no roll‑call dissenting votes were recorded in the public minutes.
