Board unanimously approves minutes; staff presents several school donations

At its May 12 meeting the Dearborn Public Schools Board of Education moved to approve minutes for the April 14, 2025 policy committee and regular board meeting. Trustee Dean Verzio moved the motion, which was supported by D. Pittenger Scroft; President Moseley asked for unanimous approval and the motion passed with no recorded opposition.

The motion covered two board reports: "board report 24-132" (policy committee, April 14, 2025) and "board report 24-133" (regular P-12 meeting, April 14, 2025). A minor correction was requested during the review — capitalization of "Arab Americans" and removal of a placeholder comment — and the board approved the minutes after those clarifications.

Earlier in the meeting district staff (Mr. Addy) presented recommended donations for the board's acknowledgment. Donations listed on the record included: - $586 to Fortson High School from the Dearborn Education Foundation for the Fortson Creative Summative Project. - $300 to Henry Ford Elementary from the Dearborn Education Foundation for ukulele storage. - $4,000 to Dearborn High School from the Dearborn Education Foundation for HOSA registration. - $200 to Salina Elementary from Dearborn Goodfellows for student Eid celebration supplies. - $600 to Salina Elementary from Access Youth & Education for Eid celebration supplies. - $118 to Salina Elementary from the Amity Foundation for Eid celebration supplies. - An adapted bicycle donated to House School by Amy and Andy Fradkin for use in adapted physical education and mobility training.

The transcript records staff thanking donors and the Fradkin family; the donations were presented to the board for acknowledgment. The minutes approval was the formal motion recorded and carried unanimously.

Ending The board moved on to subsequent agenda items after approving the minutes and acknowledging donations.
