# Board of Education Meeting 10-5-2026

Dexter Community Schools Board of Education meeting, October 5, 2026. The board approved consent items that included a new hire and the August budget report, but the transcript contains no contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or capital-purchase approvals. The board authorized CFO Jill Bennett to continue serving on the Michigan Liquid Asset Fund Plus board of trustees. Discussion indicated the district has approximately $63 million in bond proceeds and another $5–6 million in general funds invested through the pooled investment program; no new investment allocation was specified. The board also rescinded a superseded anti-bullying policy and approved a package of policy updates.

Administrators discussed the district’s literacy curriculum, now in its fourth year of implementation. They said the resource currently in use is not on the state’s recommended shortlist because the state reviewed only two of its three components, and the district is seeking reconsideration while continuing to use it based on local results. This may affect future curriculum decisions, but no purchasing action was taken. Other discussion covered school assessment data, building goals, and student activities.
