Board approves agenda, consent items, staffing/travel rates and adjourns; multiple routine votes pass by voice
Summary
At its meeting the Edwardsburg board approved the agenda, consent agenda and several routine items — including substitute pay rates, substitute teacher rates and travel reimbursement — and adjourned; major substantive approvals included the reproductive health curriculum and a bond bid recommendation.
The Edwardsburg Public Schools Board of Education approved a series of routine and substantive motions by voice vote during the meeting.
Routine items approved by the board included the meeting agenda and the consent agenda (which contained the 2025–26 board meeting calendar organizational resolution, approval of bylaws and policies, annual retainer contracts, MASB Legal Trust membership and conference requests). The board also approved substitute pay rates, substitute teacher rates and travel reimbursement rates (the district will follow the IRS mileage reimbursement rate).
Two substantive items on the agenda also passed: adoption of an updated reproductive health curriculum based on the Michigan Model for Health and approval of a bid recommendation for the US 12 Access Drive bond project. For the bond project, staff said MDOT approval is still required for elements of the work.
Final business included the superintendent’s brief report and a motion to adjourn, which the board approved by voice vote.
Where the meeting record noted specifics, the board’s actions were: approval of the agenda; approval of the consent agenda (including organizational resolution and related items); approval of substitute rates; approval of substitute teacher rates; approval of travel reimbursement at the IRS rate; approval of the updated reproductive health curriculum; approval of the bid recommendation for the US 12 Access Drive bond project; and adjournment.
