Board discusses sinking fund messaging; trustees record resignations and retirements
Summary
Trustees reported ad hoc work to craft messaging for a sinking fund millage renewal that will be phrased as a 'new' millage with added language to purchase buses; the board also recorded the resignation of Kyle Taylor and retirements of Mary Radtke and Kyle Ross.
Trustees Campana and Egeler reported work by an ad hoc team to prepare public messaging for an upcoming sinking fund millage renewal. They said messaging must phrase the measure as a "new" millage while reflecting that it is functionally a renewal with new language to permit bus purchases, and the group plans community education and possible county collaboration to counter misinformation.
The board also recorded personnel items: the resignation of Kyle Taylor as principal of Betsie Valley Elementary effective Feb. 16, 2026; the retirement of Mary Radtke, Director of Transportation, effective Nov. 1, 2026; and the retirement of elementary teacher Kyle Ross effective June 10, 2026. These items were listed under personnel updates and recorded in the minutes.
Ad hoc leaders said outreach will include clear explanations of the sinking fund purpose and the inclusion of bus purchases in the renewal language; no formal vote on a millage question occurred at the meeting.
