Corunna school board took up bond resolution, security contracts

The Corunna Public Schools Board of Education met July 20 at 6 p.m. for its regular meeting, according to the agenda posted to BoardBook. The agenda listed a series of items requiring full board action, including a bond resolution, a curriculum purchase and several building and service contracts.

Under the financial report, the board was presented with a "2026 Bond Ratifying Resolution." The agenda noted that full board action was needed, with a possible motion "to approve the Ratifying Resolution as presented." The agenda did not list a dollar figure for the resolution.

The curriculum report included a proposed purchase of a six-year agreement with McGraw-Hill for social studies curriculum, to be implemented in fourth through 10th grades.

Four items on the agenda involved district facilities and services. The listed possible motions were: a three-year contract with Waste Management for solid waste and recycling collection; approval of Control Solutions to provide exterior door access using 31aa security grant funds; approval of Aspen Door Supply to replace district exterior doors with 31aa security grant funds; and approval of Red Letter's proposal to update the district's video intercom system with 31aa security grant funds. A fifth item listed a proposal from ACE to install backup generators for food service.

The superintendent's personnel recommendations included a recommendation to hire Sarah Tomcala as a counselor at Elsa Meyer Elementary using 31aa grant money.

Under unfinished business, the agenda listed a second reading of the Gold Standard Non-Resident Enrollment Program Agreement policy, with a possible motion to approve the policy as presented. Five policies were listed for first reading and marked for discussion only: a minor consent form for School Wellness Program services, medications, authority to enter into contracts, board officers' duties and meetings.

The meeting opened with Cavalier recognitions. Ashley Rathbun was listed as both May Volunteer of the Month and May Employee of the Month, and Chris Deines was listed as the presenter recognizing All State track and field athletes. The consent agenda covered minutes from the special and regular board meetings of May 18, 2026, along with salary schedules, student handbooks, course guides and consideration of bills and accounts.

Informational items listed at the end of the agenda were percussion equipment, the tennis court project and Active Kids + Minds. The agenda also set aside time for public comment, generally limited to three minutes per speaker and 30 minutes total, with speakers asked to submit a Public Communication Form to the recording secretary beforehand.

What happens next

The agenda listed the items as requiring full board action at the July 20 meeting. Minutes from that meeting are typically presented for approval on a later consent agenda, which will document the board's votes on the bond resolution, the textbook agreement and the contracts.
