The Holly Area School District Board of Education on June 2, 2025, recessed several times into closed executive sessions under section 8(b) of the Michigan Open Meetings Act to consider student-discipline matters and approved four separate resolutions, the board’s minutes show.

The motion passed on a roll call vote of 6 Aye, 0 No.
After reconvening at 6:26 p.m., the board approved a resolution concerning student 2425-18, identified in the minutes as known to the Middle School, on a motion by Mrs. Young supported by Dr. Cunningham. That vote was recorded as 7 Aye, 0 No.
The board again recessed at 6:27 p.m. to another executive session by motion of Dr. Cunningham, supported by Mr. Deahl, and reconvened at 6:55 p.m. The board then approved a resolution concerning student 2425-19, also identified as known to the Middle School, on a motion by Mrs. Young supported by Dr. Cunningham; the roll call was 7 Aye, 0 No.
A third executive session began at 6:56 p.m. after Mrs. Blair moved and Mrs. Young supported the motion; the roll call was 7 Aye, 0 No. The board reconvened at 7:33 p.m. and approved a resolution regarding student 2425-20, identified as known to the High School, on a motion by Mrs. Young supported by Dr. Cunningham.
