Summary
After a closed session for attorney–client privilege, the Paw Paw Public Schools board voted 6–0 to allow Superintendent Jeremy Davison to file tenure charges seeking discharge under the Michigan Teachers' Tenure Act against a tenured teacher recorded in the minutes as Employee "A."
The Paw Paw Public Schools Board of Education voted Dec. 8 to authorize Superintendent Jeremy Davison to file tenure charges seeking discharge under the Michigan Teachers' Tenure Act against a tenured teacher referred to in the minutes as Employee "A." The action followed a closed session held for attorney–client privilege.
Board President Brent McNitt moved to enter closed session at 8:06 p.m.; the motion (moved by Lindsay Clark and supported by Thomas Imus) passed on a roll call vote. The board came out of closed session at 8:32 p.m., and on a motion by Dale Pease, seconded by Lindsay Clark, the board approved the superintendent's authority to file the tenure charges. The motion carried 6–0.
The minutes identify the teacher only as Employee "A" and do not include additional factual details about the allegations or next steps. Superintendent Jeremy Davison participated in the closed session via Google Meet, according to the minutes. The board did not vote on any disciplinary outcome at the meeting; the recorded action grants the superintendent authority to initiate tenure proceedings under state law.
