Summary
The Westwood Heights School Board unanimously approved routine business including the district course catalog and finance/treasury reports, and voted 6–0 to opt into '31 AA' safety/security funds while reserving the right to opt out if legislative language changes.
The Westwood Heights School Board approved several routine agenda items at its public meeting, including the annual district course catalog, routine finance reports and a resolution to opt into pending state '31 AA' funds intended for safety and security.
During the consent portion of the meeting the board accepted donations ($200 from Elga Credit Union for a PBIS kickoff and $500 from Patty Engineering Inc. for robotics sponsorship) and heard a finance report showing accounts payable totaling $744,392.58 across internal, general, athletic and food-service funds.
On curriculum, the board approved the district course catalog for the 2025–26 cycle. The motion to adopt the catalog was moved by 'mister Bikes' and supported by 'mister Walker' and passed by voice vote, 6 ayes, 0 opposes. The policy committee had earlier noted there were no substantive changes from last year.
The board also moved to approve continued district participation in collaborative school-training programs and school-choice appointments and then considered a resolution to opt into state '31 AA' funds tied to school safety and security. Members discussed pending language changes in the bill and noted the board could opt out later if the language were not acceptable. The motion to opt in was moved by Miss Johnson, supported by 'mister Bikes', and carried 6 ayes, 0 opposes.
Other actions on the record included approval of personnel items labeled as the "first day report as needed" and acceptance of the treasurer's report; voice votes for those motions were recorded as unanimous.
Board members also heard routine building and program reports from principals and staff, and community members highlighted upcoming music and band performances, including the Flint Festival of Lights and a holiday concert Dec. 19.
The meeting adjourned after public comments and a lengthy public comment from Casey Short alleging procedural issues in a separate personnel matter.
