East Lansing board approves Chartwells renewal, schools-of-choice resolution and ELHS multimedia contracts; new district nurse hired
Summary
The board approved several consent and action items: hire of district school nurse John Tuttle, renewal of the Chartwells food-service contract for 2026–2027, adoption of the 2026–2027 schools-of-choice resolution, and contracts for ELHS addition audiovisual/technology work totaling roughly $180,000.
The East Lansing Board approved multiple administrative motions and contracts during its April 13 meeting.
On the consent agenda the board approved the hiring of John Tuttle as a 1.0 full-time-equivalent district-wide school nurse at BA step 16.5, effective April 27, 2026.
Action items approved by the board included authorization for the superintendent to sign a renewal with Chartwells School Dining for the 2026–2027 fiscal year; adoption of the 2026–2027 schools-of-choice resolution; and two contracts tied to the East Lansing High School addition—Sound Planning Communications for $123,360.36 and Datacom Group for approximately $57,665 for technology and multimedia equipment.
Each motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript recorded unanimous 'aye' votes and the chair declared the motions passed. No roll-call vote totals by member were provided in the record.
Board discussion of the ELHS technology contracts focused on confirming these items represent standard electrical and media work for the new addition. Trustees noted the high-school addition remains on time and on budget.
