Board approves consent items, I‑Ready renewal and Chartwells food‑service contract; adopts Truen policy package recommendation
Summary
The Ferndale School Board on June 16 approved the consent agenda (including several 2025–26 resolutions and the general fund original budget), approved a one‑year I‑Ready renewal with a personalized‑pathways pilot, adopted a Truen policy replacement recommendation, and awarded a 2025–26 food‑service management contract to Chartwells.
At its June 16 meeting the Ferndale School Board recorded multiple formal actions during the business portion of the agenda.
Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda by roll call. The consent items included minutes, personnel changes, bills and several routine resolutions for 2025–26 (Michigan association memberships, Michigan High School Athletic Association resolution, cafeteria and student activity resolutions) and the general fund original budget resolution.
I‑Ready renewal (Action 9.1): The board approved a one‑year renewal of the I‑Ready contract, including a pilot of the personalized pathways product described earlier by principals. The motion carried on a roll‑call vote in favor.
Truen policy recommendation (Action 9.2): Administration recommended repealing the district’s legacy policies and adopting the Truen policy set; the student‑bullying policy was excluded from immediate adoption pending the legally required public hearing. The board approved the policy recommendation and staff said the revised documents will be posted online for public review.
Food service contract (Action 9.3): Following a state‑directed RFP process, the board approved awarding the 2025–26 food‑service management contract to Chartwells (the presentation cited a not‑to‑exceed amount and noted the contract may be executed and submitted to the state for final record). The motion passed by roll call.
Vote tallies: For each recorded motion in the meeting the board used roll‑call votes with the following recorded affirmative votes on the listed motions: Miss Shepard, Crumb, Deliver, Kaiser, Wner, Turner, and President Duki. The board chair announced the motions passed.
What happens next: Administration will finalize the Chartwells contract and submit it for state record, post Truen policy documents for public review, and implement the I‑Ready renewal/pilot with principals.
