Board elects officers and creates student advisory group

The Wayne‑Westland Board of Education conducted officer elections and approved several governance items. Following nominations, Kimberly May was elected board president in a roll‑call vote. The board also handled nominations and motions to fill vice‑president, secretary and treasurer roles; each motion carried during the meeting.

Members volunteered to serve as representatives to the Wayne County Association of School Boards and the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB); the board confirmed representatives by majority vote. Board member Shannon Roshan proposed creating a student advisory group composed of student representatives and designated board members to discuss student experience, academic programming and climate. The group was described as consultative only, without decision‑making authority; the board voted 7–0 to create the advisory group and asked administration to help develop selection criteria to ensure diverse representation (board discussion suggested a focus on high‑school students).

Board members also received committee reports from finance, policy and student achievement committees and thanked staff for their work. Several members offered closing remarks and community engagement ideas.
