SCCS Board of Education -- 09/09/2026

The Swartz Creek School Board of Education held a regular meeting on September 9, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the delegation of school plan review and inspection authority to local municipalities, with an emphasis on expediting construction permits. The board also addressed concerns regarding the audit engagement letter with Lewis and Knopf, noting that the letter had been signed without prior board approval and lacked detailed fee information, leading to a motion to not approve the letter due to lack of board knowledge. Additionally, the board discussed class size imbalances and school of choice student assignments, emphasizing the need for equitable distribution of students across schools. A presentation from Premier Security outlined the deployment of armed security personnel in schools, highlighting their qualifications and training. The board also considered conducting a district-wide community survey to gather stakeholder input on key issues, with plans to review survey questions in committee before approval. Other topics included power outages affecting school buildings, bus route adjustments, and playground safety inspections. The meeting concluded with public comments and a motion to adjourn.
