Lapeer board approves consent items, extends Chatfield cooperative agreement and signs off on recommended bus-garage change order
Summary
The board approved several consent items including minutes and first-policy readings, voted to extend a cooperative agreement with Chatfield for extracurricular participation, and approved a recommended change order to install a new 4-inch water service at the bus garage; the transcript shows the committee cost figure was garbled and not specified.
The Lapeer Community Schools Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included minutes from Aug. 14, 2024 and first readings of multiple policies, the board voted to approve a cooperative agreement with Chatfield to allow student participation in certain clubs and extracurricular activities, and it approved a recommended change order to address a leaking water main at the district bus garage.
Dr. Wat reported the finance operations committee met on Aug. 23 to hold a pre-audit discussion with the district's independent auditors and said the auditors will notify the district when they are ready to present to the full board, "at either the October or November meeting," according to the committee report.
The committee recommended a change order to Eagle Excavating to abandon a failing 3-inch main beneath the bus garage and to install a new 4-inch water service on the east side of the building. The committee recommended board approval at tonight's meeting; the transcript contains a garbled cost figure and does not provide a clear dollar amount. The board moved and supported the consent items and the chair stated the motions "carried." The transcript does not include recorded mover/second names or a roll-call tally for the motions.
The board also reviewed recommended updates to policies and administrative guidelines, including Policy 3231 (outside activities for staff and an associated AG), Policy 5730 (equal access for non‑district-sponsored activities) with related AG updates, and AG 7440 (plant security procedures) and AG 9160 (public attendance at school events). The committee recommended these be moved forward for the board's first meeting consideration.
Next steps: auditors will schedule a full-audit presentation to the board (October or November). Facilities staff will proceed with the change-order procurement processes per committee recommendation; the precise contract amount should be confirmed with district procurement documents because the transcript figures are garbled.
