Pontiac board amends agenda, approves consent items and hears Communities In Schools update
Summary
At its April 6 meeting the Pontiac City School District board unanimously amended and approved the agenda, passed the consent agenda including suspension and expulsion reports, and heard a Communities In Schools update from Sarah Sanders and Jason Crate.
The Pontiac City School District board convened its regular meeting on April 6, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the WHRC Little Theater in Pontiac. President Dr. Anisha Hannah presided; six trustees were present and Secretary Sha'Quana Davis-Smith was absent.
Trustee G. Kevin Gross moved to amend the agenda to add Agenda Item III.B, listed as "expulsion, long-term suspension, readmission documents," with Kenyada Bowman supporting. The motion carried with ayes from Dooley, Gross, Hannah, Miller, Terry and Bowman (6-0). The board then voted to approve the amended agenda (moved by Gross, supported by Bowman) with the same 6-0 tally.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included the regular meeting minutes of March 23, 2026, and suspension and expulsion reports; that motion was moved by Kenyada Bowman, supported by G. Kevin Gross, and carried with ayes from Gross, Hannah, Miller, Terry, Bowman and Dooley (6-0). The minutes do not include numerical or case-level details of the suspension and expulsion reports.
Interim Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Leverette listed several reports in her information update, including a "Communities In Schools" presentation by Sarah Sanders and Jason Crate (CIS). The minutes record that the presentation occurred but do not provide the substance, recommendations, or materials from that presentation.
The agenda also included recognition of elected officials, a period for communications and petitions, and time for board comments and announcements; the minutes note these items but do not summarize any public commenters or official remarks. A motion to adjourn, moved by Kenyada Bowman and supported by Jennifer Dooley, carried unanimously and the meeting ended at 6:52 PM.
Votes and formal actions recorded in the minutes were unanimous where recorded; specific disciplinary case details and presentation content were not specified in the meeting minutes and therefore are not reported here.
