Board adopts resolution declining opt-in for 31aa funding unless waiver conditions are changed
Summary
By unanimous vote the board adopted Resolution C instructing the district to decline Public Act 15 (31aa) opt-in unless statutory waiver conditions that would affect attorney‑client and other privileges are removed or modified.
The board voted 6-0 to adopt "Resolution C," a written board resolution that declines to opt in to Public Act 15 of 2025 (often cited in the resolution by MCL 388.1631aa) unless the law's waiver conditions are eliminated or modified. The resolution says the board supports school safety and student mental health but will not accept the funding if doing so would require waiving attorney-client or other privileges in the event of a mass-casualty investigation.
The resolution directs the superintendent or designee to accept the funds only if the waiver conditions are removed. The motion to adopt was made by Eric Smith and seconded by Cherryl Maddox-Smith; the clerk recorded the motion as carried 6-0. The board included the resolution text in the minutes and filed the resolution for the record.
