Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education Work Session 10-26-2026 Part 2

Hudsonville Public Schools Board of Education work session, October 26, 2026: The board reviewed proposed high-school reproductive-health curriculum content and timing, 2025 student survey data, the district’s 2026 audit, and a draft district improvement plan. The curriculum is expected to proceed through public hearings, with a formal recommendation anticipated December 10; the discussion included updating data and teaching the content during the second trimester. No curriculum-related purchase or contract award was identified. The survey consultant said the countywide survey is supported by an area foundation and participating hospitals, without giving a specific amount.

The auditor reported an unmodified opinion and a $674,000 increase in fund balance. The district’s refunding of its 2015 bonds is expected to save about $1.8 million over roughly 15 years. The board also discussed whether to accept funding subject to a condition involving waiver of attorney-client privilege; members expressed differing views, and no decision was recorded, with further consideration planned before the January deadline. The meeting included no new procurement awards, bids, or purchasing approvals; the bond refunding was a completed financing action rather than a procurement decision.
