Penny (staff) told the board the amendment was requested by the title company to allow more time to resolve title concerns, particularly a drainage easement. She said the City of Midland and both parties to the sale had been cooperative, and that the sale price and purchaser remain unchanged.

Member Horowitz moved to support the Eastland Property Purchase Agreement amendment; Vice President McFarland supported the motion. Board members approved the extension by voice vote. During discussion the board confirmed that two prior amendments had previously extended dates on the agreement and that no other closing conditions or the purchase price had changed.

Penny said the title company requested the amendment to ensure “everything is in alignment for closing,” and that staff expects a closing in March once the drainage-easement and title concerns are resolved.

No additional contractual details, purchaser identity, or sale price were provided in the special meeting discussion. The board concluded the special meeting after approving the amendment and other listed items.

The amendment extends a previously amended purchase agreement; the board noted that earlier extensions (amendments one and two) had been approved at prior meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Midland Public Schools Special Board of Education Meeting - March 3 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Midland Public Schools Board of Education approved an amendment extending the closing date for the Eastland property purchase agreement by 30 days to March 24, citing title and drainage-easement issues; the price and purchaser remain unchanged, the board was told.","taxTitle","Midland Public Schools, School Boards, Michigan","taxId",38797,"location","Michigan","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6290726,"Midland Public Schools board confirms resignation of employee effective March 2",37,195000,232000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2530598-97b1529c3ddf53e0a9226a99d0ba55c3&start=195&end=232","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2530598-97b1529c3ddf53e0a9226a99d0ba55c3/thumbnail_195000.jpg","/articles/6290726/Michigan/Midland-Public-Schools-board-confirms-resignation-of-employee-effective-March-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6290726-d9beca305fa2348ffd91030d94c81130/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141873&Signature=KHiRHdt6lAsXUzBrNrDgtdtGAkfgt8v8Qp7bPjz59zIuWmtCMGyPeY3bXxUUdUNB5du8B8V1-k8HvcMWb~gYNkFJXaAdOUOfcZgoGXN9SP6TtJyE6ksWxDdsY-dR6-d6PmuYvFnpURNXdt5upmmu3F7m-KuJ8qatFSKKuPiSoYopEb-JIGnPTfv90RGxqn2Y4OnGTcNDcc0HDsteS3t0S8NcUujhS1ElEqPRD2zYMmmd8i-UfxvZHbWxmXZBHNyV46ohwxpkIgVqJ9Ps2xg6UHkFU3Ye69ULlzvXFWkM~wtT-n6D2Dct4zqJkaDLa5gKJcuMZyCAWIfPYif8IWks6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Midland Public Schools Board of Education on March 3 confirmed the superintendent’s acceptance of Karen Justin’s resignation from district employment, effective March 2, 2025.

After returning to open session, Vice President McFarland moved to confirm the superintendent’s acceptance; Member Horowitz supported the motion. The board then approved the motion by voice vote.

Board members did not detail the grounds of the closed-session discussion or provide additional comment about the resignation in open session. The motion approved by the board specified the effective date of employment separation as March 2, 2025.

No further personnel actions were recorded during the special meeting.
