The Elk Rapids Schools Board of Education approved a bundled consent agenda and a slate of resolutions and contracts at its Nov. 10 regular meeting in the ERHS library.
The consent agenda, adopted in a single motion by Trustee Scott Moore and seconded by Trustee Shana Wojtowicz, included personnel actions (new paraprofessional hires, coach appointment and resignations), and reported donations including $10,000 to the ERHS Band Boosters and $1,000 to the volleyball team. Director of Finance Laurie McCann presented the bills for payment across funds: General Fund $952,401.12; Bond $224,050.95; Capital $45,908.70; Daycare $1,625.05; Lunch Fund $95,155.89; Trust $7,770.64.
The board also approved a set of routine resolutions and agreements. Trustee Scott Moore moved to adopt the Annual Summer Tax Resolution invoking the district's ongoing summer tax levy; Jeff Hill seconded and the motion carried (Yea: 4, Nay: 0, Absent: 3). The board approved intergovernmental collection agreements with multiple townships (fees per parcel documented in the signed agreements) to facilitate summer tax collection in 2026.
Other approvals on the consent/ action list included a three-year snow removal contract awarded to Oliver & Company and a resolution waiving the 2025–26 management fee for Mill Creek Academy. “To approve the resolution as presented,” Scott Moore said when moving several of the items, language the board adopted repeatedly during roll calls. The recorded votes for these actions were Yea: 4, Nay: 0, Absent: 3.
The board did not hold extended debate on the majority of these items and scheduled follow-up or implementation details will be handled by administration where required.
