South Redford board corrects calendar and schedules school presentations at SOAR
Summary
Trustees adopted the 2024–25 calendar, corrected a mislabeled year on the June 16 entry, agreed principals should present to the board at SOAR rather than rotating meeting locations, and moved a Memorial Day meeting from May 26 to May 19.
The South Redford School District Board of Education adopted the 2024–25 meeting calendar and made several scheduling changes for next year, including a correction to a mislabeled year on the June 16 entry and a decision to hold school presentations at the district SOAR facility instead of rotating meetings among schools.
A trustee pointed out that the June 16 entry's cover sheet listed the year as 2024 and should be updated to 2025 when approving the upcoming calendar; the president agreed to make the correction. Trustees discussed whether to continue hosting meetings at individual schools or to ask principals to bring presentations to SOAR. One trustee favored going to Thurston for student performances; another said SOAR provides a more reliable, climate-controlled space and better technology for presentations.
The board also moved a scheduled meeting that fell on Memorial Day weekend. "Being a holiday weekend, people are gonna be gone," a trustee said, and the board agreed to reschedule the May 26 meeting to Monday, May 19.
A motion to adopt the calendar passed with a recorded vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays. Trustees asked staff to correct the calendar packet language and to schedule monitoring or reporting (for example, quarterly check-ins) so the board can track any work tied to the calendar and school presentations.
What happens next: The district will correct the calendar entry year, reschedule the May meeting to May 19, and plan for principals to bring school presentations to SOAR as part of next year’s meeting schedule.
