Harper Woods board approves superintendent contract addendum, NEOLA policy updates and school radio project
Summary
The Harper Woods Board of Education on Sept. 16 approved an addendum to the superintendent's employment contract, second-reading NEOLA policy updates (passed 5-1) and a district radio project. The consent agenda, including personnel and travel requests, was also approved.
The Harper Woods Board of Education voted on three key agenda items at its Sept. 16 meeting, approving an addendum to the superintendent's employment contract, a set of district policy updates on second reading, and a proposal to establish a district radio project.
President Terry Hughes opened the meeting and the board first approved the meeting agenda. Johnetta Tabron moved to adopt the agenda and Stacey White supported the motion, which passed 6-0. The board then approved a consent agenda covering minutes, August expenditures and multiple personnel actions, including resignations and new hires; Stacey White moved to approve the consent agenda and the motion passed 6-0.
The board approved an addendum to the superintendent's employment contract by motion of Reginald Tabron, seconded by Johnetta Tabron; the motion passed 6-0. The specific addendum language referenced on the agenda was approved without recorded roll-call names beyond the 6-0 tally.
On the second reading of NEOLA policy updates (Policy packet 39.1, including policy numbers listed in the agenda), Stacey White moved and Johnetta Tabron seconded the motion. That motion passed 5-1. The agenda lists the set of policy numbers considered; the meeting minutes record the single dissenting vote but do not identify the dissenting member in the public minutes.
The board also approved the Harper Woods School District Radio Project after a motion by Stacey White supported by Frankie Brooks; the project vote passed 6-0. The record in the minutes provides the project name and board approval but does not include detailed technical or budgetary specifications in the public minutes.
Public comment at the meeting raised questions about the cost of travel and conference trips listed on the consent agenda; a member of the public asked how much taxpayers will pay toward a $30 million school project. Those questions were recorded as public participation items but no formal response or detailed cost figures are included in the minutes.
The meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. with minutes signed by Stacey White, secretary. Next steps recorded in the minutes include internal follow-up on the superintendent evaluation process and future Finance Committee updates on the district budget.
