District audit presented; principals give academic updates; superintendent explains Headlee rollback wording
Summary
Rehmann presented the district audit, building principals delivered academic updates, and the superintendent clarified that the Headlee rollback proposal would restore the rate from 17.8036 to 18 mills and applies to non-homestead property.
Houghton Lake Community Schools’ board heard a series of informational reports on Oct. 13, including an audit presentation, building-level academic updates and operational notes from the superintendent.
Doug Deeter of Rehmann presented the district audit results to the board; the minutes record that the audit was presented but do not include the auditor’s findings or any financial ratios or recommendations in the posted text.
Principals Goodwin, Thompson and Palatka provided academic updates; the minutes indicate updates occurred but do not supply details on student performance metrics, programs or targets in the recorded text.
In the superintendent’s report the board was told the Bobcat football team secured its third straight win in a rivalry game and that fall PSAT testing for students in grades 8–11 had proceeded smoothly. The superintendent also said he met with Collins staff and bus drivers to explain the upcoming election ballot language for a Headlee rollback proposal, clarifying that the ballot’s “increase” wording refers to restoring the millage from 17.8036 to 18 mills and that the tax applies to non-homestead properties such as businesses and vacation homes rather than most homeowners.
The superintendent’s report also noted routine operational items and local events; no formal action was taken on the informational items. The public-comment period recorded no speakers. The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
