Caledonia Community Schools— Board completed routine organizational business at its Jan. 27 meeting, electing officers for 2025, approving the consent agenda and authorizing district depositories.
Trustees elected Tim Morris president after nominations and a roll‑call vote that carried (one trustee voted no). The board subsequently approved John Bridal as vice president, Casey Isek as secretary and Barbara Garcia as treasurer by roll call.
The consent agenda — including December meeting minutes, payables, the January personnel report, anticipated overnight trips and authorization for legal firms (including Clark Hill PLC) — was moved and passed by unanimous roll call.
On an action item to authorize financial institutions, the board moved to designate United Bank, Fifth Third Bank and the Michigan Liquid Asset Fund Plus as district depositories. One trustee recused from that vote, stating, "I'm gonna recuse myself ... due to my employment with Fifth Third Bank," and the remaining trustees voted to approve the authorization.
These items were approved by roll call during the organizational section of the meeting. The board also adopted the proposed 2025 regular meeting schedule as presented.
