Votes at a glance: audit, equipment, cooperative athletics, vehicle purchase, SRO services and Title 3 waiver
Summary
The board approved the audit, declined joining the PowerSchool settlement, authorized a refrigeration repair up to $10,000, approved a girls basketball co-op with Merrill, purchased a 2020 Dodge Caravan for $13,260, approved SRO services, and waived applying for Title 3 funds.
At its Nov. 17 meeting the Ashley Community Schools board recorded several motions and votes: the audit was approved as presented; the board voted to opt out of the PowerSchool litigation; refrigeration repair quotes were approved up to the superintendent's $10,000 purchase limit; a girls varsity co-op with Merrill was approved; purchase of a 2020 Dodge Caravan for $13,260 (including auction fee) was approved; SRO services with the Gratiot County Sheriff's Department were approved; and the board voted to waive applying for Title 3 funds after confirming Ashley's allocation would be approximately $85 and that consortium membership would cost more than that amount. Most motions carried on unanimous recorded votes among present members (Yea: 5, Nay: 0, Absent: 1).
Motions were generally moved and seconded by board members and recorded in the minutes. Where discussion occurred, it was limited: PowerSchool prompted data-scope concerns; Title 3 funds were declined because consortium costs exceeded local allocation. No contested roll-call outcomes were recorded.
