Board approves consent agenda, names MASB delegates and OKs replacement lift for East Middle School
Summary
The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Board adopted its consent agenda (including hires and a final reading of policy 2414), appointed delegates to the MASB assembly and approved a replacement vertical platform lift at East Middle School; all votes recorded were unanimous.
The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools Board of Education recorded several unanimous votes during its meeting.
Adoption of consent agenda: The board voted to adopt its consent agenda, which the superintendent said included new hires, leaves and resignations, approval of the Sept. 9, 2025 meeting minutes and the final reading of Policy 2414 (reproductive health and family planning). Treasurer Patrick Kehoe moved the motion and Member Ahmed seconded it; the board recorded the vote as “Motion carries 7–0.” The administration noted the consent agenda also included human-resources transactions and routine personnel approvals.
Appointment of MASB delegates: The board approved representatives to attend the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) delegate assembly on Oct. 23, 2025, in Traverse City. Treasurer Kehoe moved the naming of delegates and Member Ahmed seconded; the motion carried 7–0. The administration noted the district is eligible to appoint up to four delegates; selected members will be reimbursed for allowable conference travel and lodging.
Replacement vertical lift at East Middle School: The board voted to approve a first-and-final reading resolution to purchase and install a replacement vertical platform lift at East Middle School, at a cost of $42,331.60 to be funded from the 2023 series of the 2020 bond program. The administration said the existing lift is not repairable because parts are obsolete; director of capital programs Matt Lentz and the construction manager advised the lead time for the new lift is approximately six to eight weeks with a target installation over the Thanksgiving recess so winter athletics can proceed with accessible facilities. Treasurer Kehoe moved the motion and Member Picard seconded it; the board recorded the vote as “Motion carries 7–0.”
No other formal votes were recorded in the transcript for purchase of concealed-weapon detection units; that item was presented for committee discussion and procurement funding would be drawn from state safety and mental-health grant funds if the board moves forward in a future action.
