The Chelsea School District Board of Education voted on Feb. 2, 2026, to codify a revised resolution titled "Student, Staff, and Community Safety: Immigration Enforcement Access." Board member Michelle Craig moved to codify the resolution and Heidi Reyst seconded; the motion passed with six members voting yea and one member absent.
Board member Michelle Craig said the motion to codify the resolution as revised was put before the board and the roll call recorded Michelle Craig, Glenn Fox, Nicolia Heineman, Erin Hunt-Carter, Heidi Reyst and Sara Tracy as voting "Yea"; Eric Wilkinson was recorded as absent. The meeting minutes and transcript list the vote tally as Yea: 6, Nay: 0, Absent: 1.
The resolution title and the fact of discussion are recorded in the meeting transcript; however, the transcript supplied does not include the full text of the revised resolution nor verbatim statements by board members explaining specific changes. The record shows the board engaged in discussion on the topic before voting but does not provide the revision details.
Five members of the public are listed under the meeting's public input period — Carolyn Shilwell, Tom Higgins, Anthony Bellizzi, Doug Worthington and Carista Williams — but the transcript does not include their spoken remarks or the content of their comments. The board proceeded from public input into the resolution discussion and then to the formal motion to codify.
The board opened the meeting at 6:30 p.m., recorded six members present and one absent, and adjourned at 7:25 p.m. The district did not attach the revised resolution text to the transcript provided; for the exact operative language or implementation steps, the district's official minutes or the board packet would need to be consulted.
