Fraser Board approves $4.29 million in bills, accepts resignations and authorizes a teacher contract
Summary
At its April 8 meeting the Fraser Board unanimously approved payment of $4,286,125.75 in district bills, accepted three staff resignations, authorized execution of a third‑year probationary contract for a teacher and voted to meet in closed session under the Open Meetings Act to discuss negotiations.
The Fraser Board of Education voted unanimously April 8 to approve financial transactions totaling $4,286,125.75, accepted multiple staff resignations and authorized a third‑year probationary teacher contract, and voted to recess into a closed session under the Open Meetings Act to discuss negotiations.
Treasurer Abigail Wasil moved, supported by Vice President Todd Koch, to authorize payment of the following sums: General Fund $4,015,796.34; Food Service Fund $212,324.74; Capital Projects Fund $58,004.67, for a total of $4,286,125.75. The motion carried with all voting in favor.
In human resources actions, the board accepted resignations and commended the employees for their service: Sharon Hass, 1st‑grade teacher at Emerson Elementary, effective March 31, 2024 (with district service since Aug. 29, 1995); Lily Piatek, Culinary/Fashion Design Lab Technician at Fraser High School, effective March 22, 2024; and Hunter Soper, Technology Support Assistant at Richards Middle School, effective March 22, 2024. A motion to accept these resignations, moved by Todd Koch and supported by Dan Stawinski, passed unanimously.
The board also authorized Superintendent Carrie Wozniak or designee to execute a third‑year probationary contract for Charlotte Browman; that motion was moved by Rebecca Jensen, supported by Todd Koch, and approved by all members present.
Near the end of the meeting, the board voted to move into closed session under Section 8c of Michigan's Open Meetings Act to discuss negotiations. Abigail Wasil moved the motion, Todd Koch supported it, and the roll call recorded Ayes from Daniel Stawinski, Kathleen Moco, Scott Wallace, Todd Koch, Abigail Wasil and Rebecca Jensen (Nays: none).
Why it matters: The approved payments represent routine district cash flow and operations; the personnel changes affect individual school staffing and the closed‑session vote signals pending negotiation work requiring nonpublic discussion.
The meeting adjourned after a closed session; minutes of this meeting were later approved at the April 22, 2024 regular meeting and filed in the district's permanent minute book.
