Board authorizes superintendent to act on 31aa funds as grant timeline looms
Summary
Jessica Villarreal moved and the board approved a resolution authorizing Superintendent Brady Cook to act on behalf of the Michigan Center School District regarding 31aa funds; schools must opt in or out by Dec. 4 and a Dec. 31 court decision could affect the district's choice.
Jessica Villarreal, a member of the Michigan Center School District Board of Education, moved for a resolution “giving Supt Cook authority to act on Michigan Center Schools’ behalf regarding 31aa money.” Shelly Canterbury supported the motion and the board carried it.
Board members were told that individual schools must opt in or out by Dec. 4, 2025, and that a Dec. 31 court decision could determine whether opting in will benefit or harm the district. Members also recorded continuing uncertainty about how a separate 27L grant is handled and asked staff to clarify the administration and timelines for that program before the December meeting.
