Dowagiac board approves consent agenda, accepts second reading of replacement policies and votes to enter closed session on student discipline
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (minutes, bills, personnel items), accepted the second reading of replacement board policies (Vol. 39, No. 2), and voted to enter closed session under the Open Meetings Act to discuss student discipline.
At the meeting the Dowagiac Union School District board approved routine business items and recorded motions to proceed into closed session for a student-discipline discussion.
Stephanie Tucker moved to approve the consent agenda, which included approval of minutes from March 17 and April 14, payment of bills, acceptance of FMLA leave for Tanya Brooks and Robert Durm, acceptance of the retirement of Lisa Carter, and Dowagiac Union High School handbook changes. The motion received support and was approved on a voice vote.
The board then considered the second reading of new replacement board policies (volume 39, number 2). The presenter noted no substantive changes from the version discussed at the recent workshop; the board moved and supported the policies’ second reading and accepted them for placement in board policy.
Finally, a motion was made to enter closed session under the Open Meetings Act (Section 8A of 5.268) for discussion of student discipline; the board approved the motion and went into closed session. No further details on the student-discipline matter were disclosed in the public record.
