Votes at a glance: access-control contract, band trip and personnel approvals
Summary
The Lansing School Board approved a district access-control contract, the Lansing High School band trip proposal and multiple personnel appointments and separations. The board also set a February 24 special meeting for negotiations and added a recurring Student Academic Achievement agenda item.
At its meeting the Lansing School Board recorded several formal actions, summarized below. The transcript shows motions and recorded roll-call votes for the items listed.
Access-control system (Agenda item 7.2) The board approved a contract award to replace the S2 NetBox access-control system with an Avigilon Alta platform to be implemented over the summer. Staff said the vendor selected after an RFP was ADS; the presentation listed an MSRP for hardware and software of about $116,000 and described an on-site training and hosting plan. Motion carried on roll-call vote.
Lansing High School band trip (Agenda item 7.3) A motion to approve the LHS band trip proposal for the 2025–26 school year was moved and seconded and carried on a recorded vote.
Personnel approvals (end of meeting) The board approved a slate of new hires and accepted several employee separations. New hires announced in the motion included coaching and support positions and certificated hires (full list in clarifying details). The motion to approve those hires and separations passed on recorded roll call.
Special meeting for negotiations (Agenda item 7.9) The board set a special meeting for negotiations on Monday, Feb. 24, to include an executive session; the motion to set the meeting passed.
Standing agenda change: Student Academic Achievement (Agenda item 7.5) Trustees voted to add “Student Academic Achievement” as a recurring monthly agenda item so the board receives regular academic updates; the motion carried on a roll-call vote.
Items that were discussed but not approved A revised memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Lansing Police Department was discussed at length. A prior draft had been circulated and additional draft language was under review; the motion to adopt a simplified MOU was withdrawn after discussion so the item can be revisited at a future meeting with an expanded draft and highlighted changes.
Votes and tallies The transcript records recorded roll-call votes for the items above. The historic roll-call pattern across votes at this meeting showed unanimous recorded support on the listed items; the meeting transcript records seven trustees voting in favor on those roll-call items.
Next steps Staff said they will implement the access-control project in summer and provide installation and training updates. The MOU with law enforcement will return with additional detail before the board takes final action.
