DeWitt board approves consent agenda and adopts middle school curriculum guide for 2026–27
Summary
The DeWitt Public Schools Board of Education approved the consent agenda including trip requests and adopted the DeWitt Middle School curriculum guide for 2026–27 after committee review; all motions passed by voice vote.
At its regular meeting the DeWitt Public Schools Board of Education approved the consent agenda and adopted the middle school curriculum guide for the 2026–27 school year.
Lede: The superintendent (identified in the transcript as Kevin Robotic) recommended approval of the consent agenda, which included minutes from January 2026, the treasurer's report and several out‑of‑state and overnight trips for student groups (Model UN; choir trips to Niagara Falls/Toronto; a June band trip to Europe; Business Professionals of America and student government conferences). A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Nut graf: The board then considered the DeWitt Middle School curriculum guide for 2026–27. Board members reported the curriculum committee had reviewed the changes and that the updated guide restores course listings so students can see all available offerings; discussion noted the goal of increasing student choice. Following discussion, the board moved, seconded and adopted the curriculum guide; the chair recorded the voice vote as carrying.
Details and procedure: The agenda amendment to add the middle school curriculum guide to action items was introduced earlier in the meeting and adopted by voice vote. Several board members emphasized that the curriculum revisions had been vetted by the district curriculum committee. The transcript records voice votes with the chair saying "Aye" and "Motion carries"; no roll‑call tallies by name were recorded on the public transcript.
Quotation: During discussion a board member summarized the intent: "We're just really trying to move progressively to our modern, more student choice, more student input." (statement recorded in the transcript.)
What wasn’t specified: The public record in the transcript does not assign specific movers or seconders to names nor provide a roll‑call tally; votes were taken by voice. The curriculum guide changes were referenced as shown in green in the board packet, but packet details beyond that color coding were not read into the record.
Next step: The board adjourned after routine superintendent and board business.
