The Walkerville Public Schools Board of Education voted 6-0 Monday to approve a memorandum of understanding to create the Oceana County Early Middle College Program, board minutes show.
Secretary Holly Flanery moved to approve the MOU and Trustee Mark Riggs seconded the motion. The minutes record the outcome as "6 Ayes, 0 Nays. Motion carried." The board took the vote under the Board Action Items section of its Jan. 19 regular meeting.
The minutes list the Early Middle College (EMC) MOU as the action item but do not provide the text of the agreement, funding details, or an implementation schedule. Superintendent Joseph Conkle is listed elsewhere on the agenda among superintendent items that also included a building project and a public library, but the minutes do not record further discussion or presentations about the EMC MOU.
The board approved the item as a formal action; the minutes do not note requested follow-up steps, committee assignments, or dates for additional reporting.
