Board reviews required budget hearing; motions recorded to amend 2024–25 budget and adopt 2025–26 budgets
Summary
At a June 24 special meeting Business Manager Howard Vaas presented the 2025–26 budget hearing and a final amendment to the 2024–25 budget. Motions to amend the 2024–25 budget (mover: Ms. Slawinski) and to adopt the 2025–26 budgets (mover: Mr. Thompson) were recorded; vote outcomes are not specified in the meeting record.
The Manistee Area Public Schools Board of Education held a budget hearing June 24, 2025. Business Manager Howard Vaas presented the district's budget materials "as required by statute" and also introduced a final amendment to the 2024–25 budget alongside the proposed 2025–26 budgets.
The board recorded a motion to amend the 2024–25 budgets, moved by Ms. Slawinski and supported by Ms. Sensabaugh, and a separate motion to adopt the 2025–26 budgets, moved by Mr. Thompson and supported by Ms. Stallings. The meeting transcript records the motions and supporters but does not include vote tallies or a clear statement of final approval for these two specific motions.
Why it matters: district budgets determine staffing, program funding, transportation and capital spending for the coming school year. The transcript does not list specific revenue or expenditure totals for either the 2024–25 amendment or the 2025–26 budgets, so dollar amounts and line-item details are not specified in the public record provided.
Next steps: the transcript does not show recorded votes for these motions; any formal approval, required filings, or posted budget documents were not included in the meeting text.
