Lakeshore Board conditionally opts in to preserve Section 31aa funding eligibility
Summary
At a Dec. 2 special meeting the Lakeshore Board approved "Resolution D" to conditionally opt in for preserving Section 31aa funding eligibility, with the board recording a unanimous roll-call vote; a contingent special meeting was scheduled for Dec. 23, 2025 if needed.
The Lakeshore Board of Education voted unanimously at a Dec. 2 special meeting to approve Resolution D, a conditional opt-in intended to preserve eligibility for Section 31aa funding. The motion was moved by Trustee Bill Scaletta and supported by Secretary Lori VonKoenig; the board recorded all ayes on the roll call.
"Moved by Bill Scaletta, supported by Lori VonKoenig, that Resolution D to conditionally opt in for preserving 31aa funding eligibility subject to rescission be approved as presented." The minutes record that, if needed, a contingent special school board meeting would be held on Dec. 23, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. at the Central Administration Office.
Board members voting in favor were President Rachel Wade, Vice President Jason Beckrow, Secretary Lori VonKoenig, Treasurer Griffin Ott, and Trustees Bill Scaletta and Jessica Bigley. The minutes list no nays. The motion’s wording and the unanimous roll-call result were recorded in the meeting minutes as the formal action taken on Section 31aa funding.
The board did not detail in the minutes the specific programmatic changes or dollar amounts tied to Section 31aa eligibility; the resolution as recorded preserves the district’s ability to receive the funding but allows for rescission per the motion’s conditional language. The board indicated a Dec. 23 contingent meeting slot in case further action is required.
