Board approves field trip, accepts resignation and recognizes Michigan ASCD award
Summary
The board approved the Dec. 9 minutes, an overnight student field trip (eight students for a snow‑carving competition), accepted a staff resignation and approved a new AP Environmental Science activity account; the board also accepted a Michigan ASCD Full Child gold award with a $1,500 check to the district.
At its Jan. 6 meeting the Mt. Pleasant City School District Board of Education approved routine business items and accepted an award presented by Michigan ASCD.
The board approved the minutes of the Dec. 9, 2024 regular meeting by voice vote. On new business the board approved an overnight/extended student field trip to a snow‑carving competition at the end of January. The presentation packet indicated eight students (two teams) will participate; the board requested a photo if available.
The board accepted a resignation memo for staff member Robin C.; the Chair moved and the board approved the motion by voice vote. The board also approved an activity account request for the AP Environmental Science program to fund related field trips and activities.
Earlier in the meeting Shelley Duar, introduced as the associate superintendent at Isabella Rd and representing Michigan ASCD, presented Mt. Pleasant with the Michigan ASCD Full Child gold award and a $1,500 award check. "Hands down they were unanimously the top application," Duar said, noting the district’s middle‑school work was selected from roughly 10–11 statewide applications.
All routine motions reported in the transcript passed via voice votes with no roll‑call tallies recorded in the meeting record.
Why it matters: These approvals finalize short‑term student opportunities and personnel changes and formally recognize district curriculum work with a state association award. The activity account will provide a designated funding mechanism for AP Environmental Science program activities.
Next steps: Staff will provide a photo from the field trip if available and continue to process the activity account and personnel paperwork as standard practice.
