At a special meeting April 8, 2026, the Swartz Creek Community Schools Board of Education heard a presentation on a proposed K–5 reconfiguration and pressed staff for more detail about where students would attend and how the plan would affect class sizes and transportation.
Michelle Paul gave the presentation on the K–5 reconfiguration as of April 8, 2026. Board members raised questions about which nearby daycares and apartment complexes would feed into schools under the new map, how class sizes would be managed, and where boundary lines would be drawn. The transcript records that “the Board asked the administrators and staff questions regarding details of the reconfiguration,” and that the Board requested additional information from staff.
Board President Chuck Melki presided over the meeting; Interim Superintendent Wayne Wright was recorded as present, and Interim Deputy Superintendent Dave Simonsen was listed as absent. Several board members arrived after the initial roll call; Jenni Wolgast arrived at 2:35 p.m., Andrea Fick at 2:36 p.m., and Ken Engel at 3:00 p.m. The board set a follow-up: Michelle Paul and the Transportation Department agreed to bring supplemental information to the Operations Meeting on April 21, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
No formal vote or decision on the reconfiguration was taken at the special meeting. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn by board member Autumn Henry, supported by Andrea Fick; a voice vote carried and the meeting adjourned at 4:11 p.m.
Next steps: staff are to provide the requested boundary, daycare assignment, apartment-complex assignment, and class-size details at the Operations Meeting on April 21, 2026, where the board may resume discussion or take action.
