Board approves District Professional Development Advisory Committee with special‑ed representation
Summary
The board approved the District Professional Development Advisory Committee for 2025–26 and amended the motion to add Tiffany Gauthier to ensure special education representation; the motion passed 6‑0.
The Board approved the annual District Professional Development Advisory Committee required under Michigan Department of Education guidelines and amended the listing to add Tiffany Gauthier to the administrator column to ensure special education representation.
Pascuale Cusmano presented the committee composition and explained the committee’s role: to ensure district professional development hours align with MDE allowable instructional hours and that the district meets the minimum 30 required hours (the committee planned 33). Trustees raised concerns that the committee list appeared heavily weighted toward administrators rather than regular classroom teachers and asked for explicit special education representation. Mr. Cusmano agreed to add Tiffany Gauthier, and the board amended the motion and approved the list 6‑0.
