Boyne City school board rescinds opt-out and unanimously approves Section 31aa funding
Summary
At a Dec. 1 special meeting the Boyne City Board of Education rescinded a Nov. 10 decision to decline Section 31aa funds and approved a resolution to accept the funding; both motions passed 6-0 and there was no public comment.
The Boyne City Board of Education voted unanimously Dec. 1 to rescind a Nov. 10 action declining Section 31aa funds and to approve a resolution to receive the Section 31aa funding.
The special meeting opened at 6:00 p.m. in the district conference room at 321 South Park St. President Zareena Koch called the meeting to order and recorded six members present and one absent. The board listed a 31AA update on the agenda and proceeded to two formal action items regarding Section 31aa funding.
First, the board approved a motion to rescind Board Action Item XIV.B from Nov. 10, which had documented the district’s previous decision to decline the Section 31aa funds. That motion passed with a motion by Riley Cope and a second by Savannah Hrenko; the minutes record the vote as Riley Cope: Yea; Savannah Hrenko: Yea; Zareena Koch: Yea; Joel Schraw: Yea; Jill Towne-Patton: Yea; Sara Ward: Yea (Yea: 6, Nay: 0).
The board then approved "Resolution D (opt-in Subject to Recission)" to receive the Section 31aa funding. The motion was made by Jill Towne-Patton and seconded by Joel Schraw and passed on the same recorded 6-0 tally. The minutes do not specify funding amounts, program details, or conditions beyond the resolution titles.
There was no public commentary during the meeting. The board moved to adjourn at 6:11 p.m.; the motion carried 6-0. The meeting minutes were signed by Board Secretary Sara Ward and Recording Secretary Angela Matelski.
The minutes do not state next steps for implementation, specific funding amounts, or a timeline for use of the Section 31aa funds; those details were not specified in the record of this special meeting.
