Votes at a glance: board approves litigation participation, course and insurance contribution
Summary
The Williamston board voted unanimously to join the PowerSchool MDL data-breach lawsuit and authorized the superintendent to sign the attorney fee contract; the board also approved a new World War II history course for 2026–27 and an 80/20 insurance contribution for 2026.
The board took several formal actions at the meeting:
- PowerSchool MDL (data breach resolution): The board passed a resolution authorizing the district to join a nationwide lawsuit over the December 2024 PowerSchool data breach (MDL cited during discussion). The resolution authorized Superintendent Doctor Adam Spina to sign the attorney–client fee contract subject to legal review. Roll call recorded unanimous support.
- High school social studies course: The board approved a new World War II history course to be offered beginning in the 2026–27 school year.
- 80/20 district insurance contribution: The board authorized the district’s 80/20 insurance cost contribution for 2026 after discussion about the potential financial impact on staff and the district’s budget; board members described the step as necessary to avoid large employee hardship.
- Closed session: The board voted to enter and later exit a closed session to discuss attorney–client privileged matters; roll calls were recorded for both entries and exits.
How they voted: Roll-call votes were used for several items (closed session and the PowerSchool resolution). Where roll-call results were recorded in open session, members recorded "Yes" for approval; for other items the chair called for voice votes and members indicated "Aye." The board recorded no formal "No" votes on the motions discussed in this meeting.
