Summary
Trustees approved personnel changes and purchases: instruments ($175,663.80), MyStar SIS module ($24,226.17), portable radios and chargers ($63,684.55), and a fieldhouse scoreboard ($114,446). Funding sources noted: 2022 bond for instruments, local grant/Oakland Schools for radios.
The board approved a slate of action items that included personnel changes and multiple purchases intended to support instruction, operations and safety.
Personnel: Trustees approved the personnel changes listed in the meeting packet; several trustees used the motion to thank and recognize roughly a dozen retiring teachers by observation.
Purchases approved: - Instruments from Washington Music Center — $175,663.80 (trustee note: funds from the 2022 bond). - MyStar student information system (SIS) module — $24,226.17 to better support shared‑service partner recordkeeping and reduce manual workloads. - Portable radios and desk chargers — $63,684.55 (administration said this purchase is funded by a local safety grant procured through Oakland Schools; safety director Beth Clark was credited with the procurement). - Clarkson High School fieldhouse scoreboard — $114,446; trustees approved the purchase and one trustee recommended outreach to McLaren for possible naming/sponsorship opportunities before the order is finalized.
Trustees discussed procurement details and funding sources during each item. On the scoreboard, Trustee McInness suggested asking McLaren about a potential naming contribution; administration said the board could approve the purchase and pursue sponsorship outreach in parallel.
