Chelsea board rescinds previous declining resolution on Section 31aa funding
Summary
The Chelsea School District Board voted 6-0 to rescind its Nov. 17 resolution that had declined Section 31aa funding; the motion was made by Eric Wilkinson and seconded by Sara Tracy, aligning district policy with recent legal guidance.
Following approval of Resolution D, the Chelsea School District Board unanimously approved a motion to rescind the board’s Nov. 17 resolution that had declined Section 31aa funding. The motion to rescind (Action Item 33-25-26) was made by Eric Wilkinson and seconded by Sara Tracy and passed 6-0 with one member absent.
Superintendent Kapolka recommended the rescission to align district action with the Nov. 25 legal guidance and to preserve flexibility while courts consider the merits of related lawsuits. The rescission clears the way for the district to retain eligibility for potential 31aa funds, subject to the opt-in and rescission deadlines the board discussed earlier in the meeting.
