The Mattawan Consolidated School Board of Education voted to approve a resolution adopting a collective bargaining agreement with the MEA during a special meeting on June 17, 2025, the board’s record shows.
President Ted Roethlisberger called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m. The board removed a proposed agenda item to move a subsequent meeting to June 25, 2025; Roethlisberger moved to pull the item and Vice President Shari Magrath supported the motion, saying a quorum will be present for the originally scheduled June 23 meeting, making the date change unnecessary.
