Midland Public Schools board opens Dec. 18 meeting; consent agenda includes $7,572,371 in bills
Summary
At its Dec. 18 meeting the Midland Public Schools Board of Education reviewed a consent agenda that included approval of minutes, personnel items, a Series 2 bond audit and payment of $7,572,371 in school system bills; a motion to approve the consent agenda was made but a final vote is not recorded in the provided transcript.
The Midland Public Schools Board of Education reopened its Dec. 18, 2023 meeting and reviewed a consent agenda that included approval of minutes from Nov. 20 (regular, special and closed sessions and a Dec. 5 special meeting), recommended staff hires and resignations, a Series 2 bond audit, and payment of the district’s bills totaling $7,572,371.
The chair of the board reviewed the list of consent items and called for a motion. The record shows the motion was made “by Mister Waterbox, support by Miss Horowitz.” The transcript excerpt does not record a roll-call vote or the final outcome for that motion.
A board member raised a procedural concern about the draft minutes for the Nov. 20 special meeting, saying, “Something happened to this document where it's, like, stuff is missing and it's a blank page,” and asking that the packet be corrected before finalization. The chair acknowledged the concern and the meeting proceeded to presentations.
The consent agenda also itemized legal fees recommended for payment and the recommended hires and resignations; the transcript does not list the individual hires, resignations or the dollar breakdown of the legal fees in the provided excerpt.
The board then moved on to scheduled presentations, including curriculum and literacy reports, and discussion of remote presenters later in the agenda.
