Board approves routine business: agenda, minutes, claims, retirement and policy updates
Summary
At the Grand Rapids Public School District meeting the board approved the agenda, meeting minutes, December claims totaling $5,362,636.69, a retirement, consent agenda items, and two policy changes on first reading.
The Grand Rapids Public School District board completed a series of routine actions by roll call vote, approving the meeting agenda, prior meeting minutes, December 2024 claims, a retirement, the consent agenda and two policy updates.
The board approved the agenda by voice/roll call and then received a principal’s report. The board then approved the minutes of the Jan. 6, 2025 organizational meeting and approved December 2024 claims in the amount of $5,362,636.69; the clerk called roll for each approval and the claims were approved by recorded vote.
The board approved the retirement of Julia Brewster (ESP) and thanked her for 16 years of service. The motion to approve the retirement was moved by a board member identified in the record as David and seconded by Ashley Goodman; the board approved the retirement by roll call with recorded “yes” votes.
The board approved the consent agenda (no discussion) by roll call. The board also approved two policy updates in a single first reading under policy 208. Superintendent Gross said policy 516 reflects legislative changes regarding administration of medication, and policy 608 (special education instructional services) includes clerical and legislatively mandated changes. The board approved both policies in one reading by roll call.
All routine actions on the consent portion of the agenda passed by affirmative roll call; the clerk recorded names and “yes” responses for each item during the meeting. No formal amendments were proposed for these items during the meeting.
