Board approves handbook updates; high school changes pass 4–1
Summary
The board approved elementary and middle school handbook changes unanimously and approved high school handbook changes on a 4–1 vote. The high school vote was the only recorded split in the meeting.
The Kalkaska Public Schools Board of Education approved multiple student handbook changes for the upcoming year.
“Motion by Wendy Watson, support by Mary Scobey, that the Board of Education approves the elementary and middle school handbook changes, as presented and discussed. Motion Carried 5 to 0,” the minutes state. Separately, the board approved the high school handbook changes by motion: “Motion by Mitch Saxton, support by Wendy Watson, that the Board of Education approves the high school handbook changes, as presented and discussed. Motion Carried 4 to 1.” The minutes do not specify which member voted against the high school handbook.
The minutes do not include the handbook text or the specific policy language changed; they record approval votes and attribute the motions to board members. Board staff are responsible for distributing updated handbooks to families and implementing any procedural changes before the school year.
