The Board of Education convened on Thursday, September 5th, at 6 PM, with a focus on several key issues impacting the Lansing School District. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call confirming the presence of all board members.

During the session, board member Ms. Moore proposed adding a discussion on board norms to the agenda, which was accepted. The board discussed the possibility of voting on these norms during the meeting, contingent on the board's consensus.

A significant moment arose when board member Dr. Nevarez Martinez expressed frustration over the recent school shooting, stating, \"I am pissed that we are convening as a board after another act of violence.\" He emphasized the futility of a moment of silence in the face of ongoing violence, highlighting the emotional weight of the issue.

The meeting also included a presentation on health and wellness within the district, indicating ongoing efforts to address student and staff well-being. The board's discussions reflect a commitment to both governance and the pressing social issues affecting the school community.
