Summary
At its Oct. 16 meeting the Novi Community School District Board of Education approved a personnel report, a principals’ month resolution, recognition of staff winners and a consent agenda including multiple field trips and competitions; each vote passed unanimously, 6-0.
The Novi Community School District Board of Education on Oct. 16 unanimously approved a set of routine motions including a personnel report, a resolution recognizing National Principals Month, a staff-recognition item called "Wildcat winners," and the consent agenda covering minutes, bills and multiple field trips.
The actions came with little discussion and were approved by voice vote with a 6-0 tally for each item. The board recorded the following formal outcomes at the meeting:
• Resolution recognizing October as National Principals Month — passed, 6-0.
• Board recognition of weekly "Wildcat" staff winners — moved by Mrs. Cloward, supported by Mrs. Cloyd; passed, 6-0.
• Personnel report (hire recommendations, paraprofessionals, transportation hires, resignations and retirements) — moved by Mrs. Roni, supported by Mrs. Cleaver; passed, 6-0.
• Consent agenda (includes approval of meeting minutes, financial reports for August 2025, and authorization of multiple student trips such as the Novi High School robotics world championship and other competitions) — passed, 6-0.
Why it matters: These votes finalize routine district business that allows newly recommended hires to begin, confirms program and travel approvals for students, and publicly recognizes principals and staff. The personnel vote in particular implements several new hires across special education, transportation and classroom roles and accepts resignations and a notified retirement.

The board approved recommendations that included a self-contained special education teacher, several paraprofessionals, bus drivers and a transportation assistant.

Quotations: The board praised district principals and staff during the items. The superintendent and other speakers thanked employees and families and noted the personnel additions would strengthen district services.
