In other action at the Monday, June 23 meeting of the Clarkston Community Schools Board of Education:
? Having already approved donation of property at Springfield Plains Elementary School, the board approved an easement to Springfield Township for a new storm drainage line into the school’s detention basin.
Bruce Beamer, executive director of business and financial services, said the additional drainage will have a ‘negligible effect? on the school property and will trap sediments before the water enters Ellis Creek.
‘It’s a good idea instead of digging another hole,? he said.
? Trustees adopted several district policy changes.
Described as minor changes intended primarily to be more in line with state and federal regulations, the second readings included nondiscrimination and access to equal educational opportunity, student privacy and parental access, nondiscrimination and equal employment opportunity, drug and alcohol testing of CDL license holders, substance abuse, and preparedness for toxic health and asbestos hazard.
In addition, the board adopted new guidelines for use of automatic external defibrilators, and passed first reading of a replacement policy on ‘control of non-casual contact communicable diseases.?
? Outgoing board President Kurt Shanks led the board through a review of the various leadership positions in preparation for the Monday, July 14 organizational meeting of the new board of education.
John Koval and Tony Miller will take their places at the board table, filling the vacancies of Shanks and Janet Thomas.
The new board must elect a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and the board must share a variety of committee assignments.
