Interim Superintendent Mary Marshall provided operational updates to the Board on Jan. 19.
Marshall said the district would cancel school on Jan. 20 because of deteriorating weather; the minutes record that this was the district’s sixth forgiven day this school year. She announced the first 'Coffee with the Superintendent' community event scheduled for Jan. 21 at the Coffee Coop in Ludington.
Marshall said the administrative team met via Google Meet on Jan. 18 to discuss delivering professional development materials virtually so teachers could participate without traveling during the weather event. She said the district website and employee handbook are under review and that the Board would consider a proposal to reduce the frequency of some committee meetings to quarterly while keeping the Finance Committee monthly; further discussion will occur in committee before any formal Board action.
These operational updates were presented as information to the Board; no formal votes were taken on the proposals noted in the Superintendent’s report.
