Alma School Board adopts calendars, publishes budget notice and approves superintendent extension through 2028
Summary
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Alma School District board approved publication of the budget notice for the November election, adopted two school calendars for possible implementation, approved a superintendent contract extension through June 30, 2028, and approved offers and recommendations for employment.
The Alma School District board on Feb. 18 approved several routine and administrative items, including publication of the required budget notice, adoption of two school calendars for contingency use, and a superintendent contract extension through June 30, 2028.
The board voted to publish the district budget in the newspaper as required for the November election. A motion to approve the publication was made and seconded and the chair called for the vote; the motion carried.
The board adopted two calendars — the district’s current alternate hourly calendar and a traditional 178‑day calendar — and authorized the district to implement the calendar that will be permissible under any final state legislation. A board member noted a typographical error on the calendar that the administration corrected before finalization.
In executive and open session actions, the board approved a superintendent contract extension through June 30, 2028. The motion to approve the extension passed after a motion and second. The board also approved offers of employment for administration and district support staff, and approved hiring recommendations for coaching and teaching positions presented by the superintendent.
Why it matters: The calendar adoption gives the district flexibility to comply with any legislative changes that might alter academic‑year requirements; the budget publication is a procedural step required for any November millage election; the superintendent extension secures district leadership into the 2027–28 school year.
Votes and formal outcomes (summary): All listed motions in open session carried as recorded in the board minutes. The meeting record shows each motion was seconded and passed with no recorded roll‑call opposition.
Ending: The board moved to executive session for personnel and later returned to approve the superintendent extension. The meeting closed with a motion, second and unanimous voice vote to adjourn.
