The Gladstone Area Schools Board of Education on Jan. 19 elected its 2026 leadership and approved a set of organizational measures for the coming year.
President Steve Tackman was elected board president in a 7-0 vote after a motion by Joanna Wilbee-Amis. Nathan Neumeier was elected vice president, Jesse Seger was elected secretary and Henry Knoch was elected treasurer; each nomination carried unanimously. Tackman announced committee memberships for Building & Grounds; Curriculum & Personnel; Finance; Labor Relations; Policy (one vacancy); Public Relations; and Transportation, and named board liaisons to local bodies including the Delta‑Schoolcraft County Schools Board and the Downtown Development Authority.
The board unanimously designated the business manager (or designee) as depositories for school funds and authorized the superintendent (or designee) to sign checks, contracts and purchase orders. It set the regular board meeting date as the third Monday of each month, and assigned electronic‑treasurer responsibilities to the business manager/designee. The executive secretary was designated as the board recording secretary and the official responsible for implementing public‑notice requirements under the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
The board approved the Dec. 15, 2025 regular meeting minutes and authorized payment of general fund bills numbered 67729–67937 totaling $680,755.60. Business manager Lisa Boudreau also reviewed the district cash‑flow statement during the meeting.
The board scheduled its regular meetings for the third Monday of each month and left one policy committee seat vacant for later appointment.
