Board approves vape detectors at MHS and CHMS, using state‑approved 31aa funds
Summary
Muskegon Public Schools approved installing vape detectors at Muskegon High School and CHMS, with costs of $91,253.05 and $95,505.60 respectively, to be paid from state‑approved 31aa funding. The motion passed unanimously.
Muskegon Public Schools’ board on March 18 unanimously approved the installation of vape detectors at Muskegon High School (MHS) and CHMS using state‑approved 31aa funding. The board recorded costs of $91,253.05 for MHS and $95,505.60 for CHMS.
Why it matters: Trustees said the purchase is intended to address student vaping on campus and to deploy technology paid for by a designated state funding source rather than general fund dollars.
Details: The motion to approve the purchases was moved by Board member Billie Bruce and supported by Board member David O'Brien; the vote was 7–0. The transcript records the board identifying the funding source as “31aa funding that has been approved by the State.” The motion did not list installation timelines or vendor names in the meeting record.
What was not said: The board did not provide a vendor contract in the discussion recorded, nor did it specify installation schedule, maintenance responsibilities, or an implementation department during the meeting. The funding line item was identified as a state‑approved source; no additional local budget offsets were noted.
Next steps: No further action was recorded in the meeting minutes; board staff would implement the approved purchase and arrange installation as appropriate.
