# SCCS Board of Education -- 11/04/2026

The November 4, 2026, SCCS Board of Education meeting included student recognition, reports, public comments, and board action. The main funding and safety discussion concerned Michigan Section 31a funds, which are divided this year between mental-health and student-safety funding. Because the board had not received a clear answer about how long the related agreement and obligations would remain in effect, it voted unanimously to postpone deciding whether to accept or decline the funds until January. The superintendent reported that prior-year funds may be spent through September 30, 2027, and that expense reports for the current funding are due July 1, 2027. A possible additional security guard or officer at the middle school was referred to the upcoming Finance and Operations committee meeting for review of costs and funding restrictions; no purchase or contract was approved.

The superintendent also described ongoing district safety planning, including a staff safety-and-security team and existing cameras, key fobs, and procedures. The board approved an extended leave of absence for one employee. A trustee announced an immediate resignation, after which the board approved appointing Josh Davis to the resulting vacancy in a divided vote; members debated the process, recent election results, and the board’s broad vacancy policy. No contract awards, vendor selections, or specific dollar amounts were identified.
