Board approves consent agenda, salary schedule and closed-session motion
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Harper Creek board approved the consent agenda, adopted a salary schedule intended to support retirement calculations for small staff categories, and voted to convene a closed session to consider a student matter under MCL 15.268(b).
The Harper Creek Community Schools Board of Education recorded three roll-call votes at its Dec. 9 meeting.
Consent agenda The board voted to approve the consent agenda, including general-fund, school-service, school-lunch and activity-fund checks, and minutes from the Nov. 11 regular meeting and the Dec. 4 building-committee meeting. The motion was moved by Mr. Smith and supported by Mrs. Wallace; the roll call recorded votes of yes from Mr. Halverson, Mrs. Wallace, Dr. Borders, Mrs. Alward, Mr. Smith and Mr. Best. The motion carried.
Salary schedule for small groups The board voted 6–0 to approve a salary schedule intended to provide consistent salary entries for employee categories of three or fewer people so retirement calculations administered by Michigan’s Office of Retirement Services (ORS) can be computed. The board’s packet and discussion said the schedule is intended to give ORS a transparent salary schedule for roles that otherwise might lack multi‑year salary histories; board members were told the schedule will be revisited annually during the budget process. The motion was moved by Dr. Borders and supported by Mr. Halverson; roll-call votes were recorded as yes from Mr. Halverson, Mrs. Wallace, Dr. Borders, Mrs. Alward, Mr. Smith and Mr. Best.
Closed session to consider student matter The board voted 6–0 to convene in closed session under the Michigan Open Meetings Act, MCL 15.268(b), at the request of a student’s parents to consider dismissal, suspension or disciplining of a student whose identity is known to the board. The motion was moved by Mr. Smith and supported by Dr. Borders; roll-call votes were recorded as yes from Mr. Halverson, Mrs. Wallace, Dr. Borders, Mrs. Alward, Mr. Smith and Mr. Best.
No other formal action items were taken on the record during the meeting’s open session.
