The Swartz Creek Community Schools Board of Education held a meeting on August 12, 2026, primarily focused on personnel appointments, contract approvals, and facility updates. The board approved the hiring of multiple new certified staff members, including teachers and principals, to fill various positions across the district. Administrative changes were announced, including new principals for Morris and Gaines Elementary Schools and a new middle school principal. The board also approved revised employment contracts for two staff members and discussed the School Resource Officer (SRO) contract, deciding to maintain one full-time SRO at the high school while increasing the number of armed security officers across all school buildings. The board addressed concerns about the SRO coverage at the middle school and committed to reviewing related data on incidents and disciplinary actions. Additionally, the board approved a furniture purchase for classrooms funded by bond funds and discussed a FOIA appeal related to document format and redactions, ultimately denying the appeal but approving a refund of the FOIA fee.
