Board conditionally authorizes opt-in to preserve 31aa funding eligibility
Summary
The board authorized the superintendent to submit an opt-in form to MDE to preserve eligibility for 31aa funding, expressly stating the submission is conditional and does not waive privileges. Vote was unanimous.
The Saginaw Township Board of Education voted Nov. 24 to authorize the superintendent, or designee, to submit the district’s opt-in form to the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) on or before the opt-in deadline solely to preserve eligibility for 31aa funding. The motion, offered by David Jaffe and seconded by Marianne Bird, was approved by roll call vote with all members voting yes.
Minutes record that submission of the opt-in form is "solely for the purpose of preserving the District’s eligibility for 31aa Funding, and only on a conditional basis, as provided in this Resolution." The motion also states that submission shall not constitute a present waiver of attorney-client privilege or any other privilege. The board summary does not include the resolution’s specific legal language or anticipated funding amount; those details would be found in the full resolution and MDE guidance.
