The Mattawan Consolidated School Board met Monday, Nov. 10, 2025, at Mattawan Consolidated School and approved a consent agenda that included personnel appointments and financial items, moved into a closed session for a legal matter, and voted to reschedule the superintendent's annual evaluation from December to June beginning in 2026.
Vice President Shari Magrath moved to approve the consent agenda, which included the Secretary's Report, personnel recommendations and financials.

Upon returning, President Ted Roethlisberger moved, and Vice President Shari Magrath supported, an adjustment to the superintendent's evaluation schedule.
