Board approves MASB certification attendance and reimbursement; president abstains from votes
Summary
Trustees approved board members attending MASB online certification courses and authorized reimbursement of Board President Kristen Cambensy's non-covered expenses for the MASB Spring Institute; Cambensy abstained from both votes.
At the April 7 meeting the board approved two personnel/training items related to the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB).
A motion to approve board-member attendance in online Board Member Certification (CBA) classes through MASB was made by Jennifer Klipp and seconded by Cassidy Thomas; Board President Kristen Cambensy abstained and the motion carried with a 5-0 recorded vote and one abstention. Later the board approved reimbursement of expenses not covered by MASB for President Cambensy's attendance at the MASB Spring Institute; the motion was made by Cherryl Maddox-Smith, seconded by Jennifer Klipp, and Cambensy again abstained. The reimbursement motion carried 5-0 with one abstention.
The meeting minutes record the abstentions but do not provide additional detail on the amount or specific expenses to be reimbursed; the motions were procedural approvals of attendance and expense reimbursement for board professional development.
