4:00 p.m. I appreciate those of you who can join us this evening. We're going to continue with what I think is pretty pretty close to the balance of what we have left in the 5000 series. But Kelly, I'm sure you'll give us an update on that. So we're going to kick off with policy 5142 student safety and there are significant changes to this. So Kelly, please take it away. Yeah. Um just before we get started with this particular policy, we are winding down the 5000 series. It was probably one of our longest our longest series to date. Um we'll have probably one more meeting to just finish up the final policies in the 5000 series and then be able to move on to either our financial all policies. I think we'll be next and then follow up with some of our curricular and instructional policies.
Uh once again, please say here and from where you're dialing. Council member Harrison >> present from Ann Arbor. >> Commissioner Buffford. Uh Jamal did email the group that he's going to be absent tonight. >> Okay, not a problem.

Approval of the agenda and approval of the minutes. Are there any modifications to the consent agenda? Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda as it's presented?
>> Here >> good evening everyone. Thank you for being here tonight. Um, we have a relatively normal budget tonight, so hopefully it won't be too long of a meeting. >> Agenda, sorry. >> That'll be at our next meeting. I apologize for that. >> Stay tuned. >> Exactly. Um, so we do not have a student representative tonight. Um, which will put us uh starting public forum. This is the public for agenda items only. >> 14 minutes. It's hard to keep. >> Okay. Um for an agenda item, we have Miss Angela. Sorry. Okay. Um, if your comment was not on an agenda item, it was on a just a generalized item. Okay. So, that'll be the second one. Does anyone else from the public have anything to comment on for an agenda item? Seeing no comment, we will move on to agenda item I, which is the consent agenda with two items.
And our purpose is we create a positive academic impact on every child's life every day with an additional commitment to support the Don Alam culture and language. uh as much as you have noticed and as much as emphasis as we try to imply uh this board is members is comprised of members of this community and as such we do want to continue to encourage the use of our alumn our language our culture our heritage and as much as in and as much as we can throughout the meeting uh don't feel embarrassed or feel scared uh this is a safe space to be able to continue to not only encourage the use but to try and use the language in it as much as you can so thank you all so much for indulging with that with me. With that, I'll move on.
I made some minor tweaks based on adjustment to the presentation this morning that we're going to have it starting at 8:30 from precision. Um so you can see we're going to go back to workload. Um after the presentation HR and finance will do an update. We're going to start talking about the insurance um options for next year or plans I should say and hopefully go through the evaluation and consensus process around that. We've got to uh we need to land that so we can get it to the board for approval. Same for pay for performance. Um, and then hopefully we're going to jump into some compensation conversations uh and talk about options for that as well. So before we do that, I just want to go over your feedback from uh our last meeting. Uh if you may recall that we did rose roses, buds and thorns and um so thorns are things obviously you want to try to that might have been challenging.
Does anybody have any questions, comments, concerns? If not, I'll take a motion. >> I motion to approve the February 11th, 2026 regular board meeting minutes as presented. >> I second. >> All in favor? I >> I. Motion carries five to zero. Okay. So, we will go to um superintendent report. >> Okay. We're moving into uh spring break. I know there's nobody in the audience that's looking forward to next week. I don't know if that's the adults or the kids. We'll just have to see. Um but so things are winding down for this nine weeks and so it's a little bit lighter um before we spin back up for the last quarter. Uh Combmes Middle School proudly added board member Miss Lisa Horn and incoming superintendent Mr. Hogan to their house system. Mr. Hogan is now proud part of Altruismo if I said that right. Um the house of givers while Mrs.
And so with that, I would entertain >> could I recommend we just jump in? It's not a hearing. We can start early. And she's here. >> Are you ready? So you can start early and leave early. All right. Sounds fine by me. Yeah, I know it's here, but it's not sharing again. just have a few technical difficulties. So, just bear with us. In the meantime, go make some popcorn and whatever. And Okay, Jonah, you raised your hand if you can. Um, sorry about that, Catherine. You should be uh There you go, Joe. Good evening. >> Hello. How you doing? Um, I was unable to um to raise my hand or unmute because of um I guess technical difficulties, but um so I um apologize. I know you were starting something else. If you'd like me to wait, I'm happy to do that. Um but if you want me to go ahead, I will.
>> Good evening everyone. The board of education welcomes public comment. Each speaker will have up to three minutes to speak. It can be it can be on any topic at the start of each regular meeting. A maximum of 20 minutes is allotted for comment on any item at all. And discussion of school personnel, individual students, or individual members of the board is prohibited. And with that, we welcome Mark, Mr. Mark Morash. Hello, sir. >> Good evening, Mark. >> Good evening. And All right. >> Yeah. On. Okay. Good evening. Um, my high schooler wanted to come and talk tonight, but he's studying for an audition. Not an audition for a show in our high school because our high school doesn't do straight drama shows. They do a musical, but unlike most districts, they don't we don't do a theater performance and a musical. Leaves a lot of kids out.
So that's just a little update there. But the first policy as Kate had mentioned really aligns. It's a cable line policy. I'll put it on the screen in just one moment. A cable line policy regarding school security and safety plans both at the district and the school level. And this is a requirement for all schools to develop a safety and security plan. We recognize that in in addition to teaching and learning safety and security is of paramount importance to us in our school district. We want to make sure that we have uniform plans. That those plans are being shared with local law enforcement. That those plans are being reviewed on a regular and ongoing basis. And that the district is conducting kind of regular checks or audits. The suggested recommendation by this policy from Cave is every other year. So we have a cycle of checking in on the safety and security plans.
>> So move. >> Thank you, John. Um all in favor or a second? Is there a second? Alison >> or Okay, we're done. Um, all in favor? >> I >> Okay, seems to have passed. All right. Wonderful. No. All right. Well, we have no business. So, we are moving to our mini grant partnership discussion. Um, Sarah, Chris, and I met with Chloe. um Crowler, the new executive director of Creative Washa to explore the possibility of engaging Creative Washa to uh assist in helping us get the mini grant information call out to the community.
I would ask for a motion. forot. Sorry about that. Off my game tonight. I apologize. >> Any discussion on agenda? I was going to >> Mr. >> Yes. M. >> Yes. Yes. >> Motion car. >> Thank you. >> Next on our agenda, we have committee reports. Um with two reports of 21 on the agenda, we'll have a second one. So, uh Mr. Special. >> Hi. Um the ad special education met at 5:30. The meeting ended at Uh the people that were present was Dr. Janice and Laura and um we spoke about CPA the last two meetings that um that was had and the data that we got from those meetings from the survey that was taken on the certain topics that parents felt the need that was important to discuss. Um we also spoke a little bit about current special education programs and um kind of try to brainstorm new ideas for other programs and the next meeting will meet on you.
Letter C is our pledge of allegiance. If you're able, please join us and rise in for the pledge. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. Letter D is our routine business this evening. Number one is the approval of the March 4th, 2026 board meeting agenda. Governing board members, I do have one change to the agenda. We are removing action item number I'm sorry, action item letter F number one that will be brought back to the board at a later time. That is the um B USD TOCC dual enrollment agenda item. If there is anything else from the board, that's the only change that I have this evening. If not, is there a motion to approve? >> Motion by Miss Sylvia Hendricks to approve the agenda with that deletion of action item number F1.
Um, so I'm gonna let you all just read those to yourself for a minute. So, what I'm going to ask you all to do is when you take a look, some of these things keep coming up, right? Distractions, um, you know, technology being a distraction, it's hard to know sometimes for me if I'm seeing the back of a laptop or a phone or whatever it may be because, right, you've got things to look at, documents that are shared in the Google Drive. Um, but if you are working on something else, that that would be a a different violation of a norm that this group set. So, I'm just going to ask you to think about it for yourself. if this is you to just be mindful of it for today. And then if as a neighbor or a colleague that if you notice somebody is doing something else that is not related to items in the shared drive that you just give them a little nudge and say remember our norm around staying focused.
