Superintendent reports safety badging, PAC repairs and special-education updates; band weighing exit from MCBA
Summary
Superintendent Mrs. Knapp reported that all employees have been issued badges through a Safety Grant, the PAC floor was repaired after a football event, and Robert Kerr special-education services show positive changes. She also said the band is "looking at stepping away from MCBA" because of cost and demand.
Superintendent Mrs. Knapp provided the board with operational and program updates at the Nov. 10 meeting. She told members that "all employees are now badged as part of a Safety Grant," that the Performing Arts Center floor has been repaired after damage related to a football event, and that staff have noted positive changes in special-education programming at Robert Kerr.
Mrs. Knapp also reported that the school band is "looking at stepping away from MCBA as the cost is so expensive and the demand is too much," indicating the district is evaluating the program’s participation and budget implications. Building-level updates followed: Mrs. Worsham summarized Veterans Day activities at her building, and Mr. Cawson described collection drives and welcomed new staff. The minutes record that Hailee Ozhurst was hired (BN teacher upon completion at Ferris State and receipt of a teaching certificate) and that Joyce Zick received public thanks for her work over the past 18 months.
The board did not take formal action on program realignment or music participation at this meeting; any decision about MCBA participation would require future discussion and possible administrative or budgetary steps.
