Board approves BEA 2025–2028 contract; abstentions recorded
Summary
The Belding Area Schools Board approved the BEA 2025–2028 contract at the May 19 meeting; the minutes note abstentions by several board members with family members covered by the contract.
The board approved the BEA (Belding Education Association) 2025–2028 contract on a motion by Mike Baker, supported by Jennifer Lien. The minutes state the motion was approved, and they also record that several board members abstained due to family members being included in the contract: Terry Boni, Shannon Hummel, Keven Krieger, Doug Lamborne and Jennifer Lien were noted in the record as abstaining. The minutes also contain a parenthetical “Motion approved by unanimous vote (2-0)” that appears inconsistent with the recorded abstentions.
The minutes do not list specific contract terms, salary schedules, or fiscal impact. Patricia Loser, the BEA representative, had presented points of pride earlier in the meeting; contract ratification follows typical collective-bargaining cycles and will be implemented by the district’s administration and human-resources staff.
