MSD Boone Township school board approves overnight trips, extends principals' contracts and amends 2026–27 calendar
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the MSD Boone Township school board approved two Washington, D.C., overnight field trips, extended three principals' contracts for one year (no new raises), and adopted an amended 2026–27 calendar removing half virtual days and adding two semester‑end early dismissals.
The MSD Boone Township school board on April 14 approved several routine administrative items, including overnight field trips to Washington, D.C., one‑year extensions for three principals' contracts and amendments to the 2026–27 school calendar.
Superintendent Dr. Brooks presented two overnight requests: a middle school trip to Washington, D.C., May 30–June 1, and a Professionals of America delegation to the national leadership conference in Washington, D.C., in July. "We got a couple overnight field trip requests," Dr. Brooks said as he introduced the items. A board member moved to approve the trips, a second was offered, and the motion carried.
Dr. Brooks recommended one‑year extensions for the contracts of three principals, noting that the extensions "do not include any raises as those occurred back in November." The board moved to extend the administrators' contracts through June 30 and approved the extensions.
On the school calendar, Dr. Brooks proposed removing the district's planned "half virtual days" for students, adding two early‑dismissal half days (one at the end of the first semester before the Christmas break and one on the last day of school), and keeping the high school on virtual days for two election dates (November 2026 and Tuesday, May 4) because the high school buildings are used as polling places. The board adopted the amended 2026–27 calendar after a motion and second.
The meeting record shows motions were made and approved for each item; specific movers, seconders and individual vote tallies were not recorded in the public transcript.
The board then moved on to routine administrator reports and adjourned the meeting.
