The Huron Board of Education voted unanimously on a series of routine and governance items at its Jan. 27 special meeting.

Policies and calendar: The board held second readings and approved, by unanimous roll call, policy JFABE and its associated form JFABE‑E (McKinney‑Vento dispute resolution process and form), the 2025‑26 school calendar, and policy GCDB (criminal background checks). The chair called for motions and Kelly called the roll for each vote.
