Board approves Title I technology spending, facilities work, hires and other routine business

At its regular meeting, the Mount Clemens Community School District Board approved a set of routine business items covering technology spending, facilities work, vendor engagements and personnel hires.

Key approvals included Title I grant technology expenses; authorization to move forward with specified catch‑basin work discussed at a prior workshop (board members noted final contractor pricing/numbers remain pending and that the approval covers only the previously discussed scope); an engagement letter/proposal for architectural and engineering services to assist with secure‑entry work; and the purchase of wireless access points.

The board also approved a student recruitment campaign intended to support enrollment efforts, adopted a resolution to continue membership in the Michigan High School Athletic Association for 2026‑27, and approved new hires including a central office grant clerk and a middle‑school math teacher for the secondary complex. All motions were moved, seconded and passed on roll call as recorded in the transcript.

In the catch‑basins discussion board members asked for contractor numbers and pricing updates; the transcript shows staff reported they were still waiting on contractor figures. The PIA engagement was described as an engagement letter to support secure‑entry work. The transcript records unanimous or near‑unanimous roll‑call approvals for these items.

Motions were moved by board members (including Mr. Rickman and Miss Hammond) with roll‑call votes recorded by the clerk.
