Elm River Township School Board begins 2025–26 staff-wage approvals, schedules April 21 makeup day and adopts departing-teacher removal list requirement
Summary
At its April 14 meeting, the Elm River Township School Board began approving staff wages for 2025–26, set Monday April 21 as a makeup day for snow-related closures, said a waiver will be needed for three extra snow days, and voted to require departing teachers to submit a list of personal items to be removed by their final day.
The Elm River Township School Board on April 14 began the process to set staff wages for the 2025–26 school year, scheduled Monday, April 21, as a make-up day for snow days, and approved a requirement that departing teachers provide a list of personal items to be removed by their final employment day, according to the board minutes.
The board convened at 6:00 p.m. and approved the agenda. Earlier items noted a teacher report (the minutes direct readers to 'see teacher report') and a financial report; the minutes do not include details of those documents. The board also approved prior meeting minutes during the session.
Under old business, the board said it is awaiting two estimates to install a concrete floor in the district bus garage; no contract or timeline was recorded in the minutes for that project.
Under new business the minutes state that the district began approving staff wages for the 2025–26 school year. The board scheduled Monday, April 21, as a school day to make up time lost to snow days and recorded that a waiver will be required for three additional snow days beyond the make-up schedule. The minutes do not specify which authority must approve that waiver.
The board also adopted a personnel-exit procedure requiring departing teachers to provide a list of approved personal items to be removed on their final day and to request school entry after the final employment date. The minutes record that Linda Lajeunesse moved to approve the requirement, Jim Plutchak seconded, and the motion carried (minutes notation: "L. Lajeunesse motioned to approve. J. Plutchak 2nd MC"). The record does not provide a roll-call vote or individual tallies.
The board scheduled its next regular meeting for May 12 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m.; Jason Moilanen moved to adjourn and Linda Lajeunesse seconded, and the motion carried.
Details absent from the minutes provided include the content of the teacher report referenced, the specific wage changes under consideration, any vote tallies for recorded motions (minutes mark motions as carried but give no counts), and which authority must grant the noted snow-day waiver.
