Key outcomes

- Personnel recommendations (Resolution 1.13): The board approved the personnel recommendations by roll call (vote recorded as 7 yes, 0 no). A trustee asked about retirements and resignations; staff said those items were included in last week’s packet and agreed to resend the packet to trustees. Details on individual retirements and resignations were not specified on the record.

- Move Nethercutt to Freeman (Resolution 11.8): Approved by roll call (7 yes, 0 no) to authorize the relocation identified on the agenda as \"Nethercutt to Freeman.\" The agenda did not specify further program details in the meeting discussion.

- Move ALA to Southwestern (Resolution 11.9): Approved by roll call (7 yes, 0 no) to authorize relocation of ALA to the Southwestern site.

- Batch items 11.10 through 11.19: The board voted to approve the batch by roll call after a prior discussion during a committee call; trustees supported batching and the motion passed by roll call (7 yes, 0 no). Specifics for the individual items in the batch were not described on the record during the meeting.

- Consulting proposal for Dr. Wanda Cook Robinson (Item 21.2): Approved by roll call; see separate coverage. Vote recorded: 7 yes, 0 no.

- Authorization to implement the minor services policy through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services nurses grant FY25 (Resolution 25.3): Approved by roll call (7 yes, 0 no). The motion authorized the district to implement minor services policy as part of an MDHHS nursing grant for FY2025.

- Authorization to roll out lab testing policies (Resolution 25.4): The board approved the motion by roll call. During the roll call a trustee — recorded as Trustee Booth — said \"No\" when called; the final tally was announced as 7 yes, 0 no. The transcript therefore records a dissenting vote by Trustee Booth during roll call and an announced 7-0 result; the district's official minutes should be consulted for the final certified tally.

Votes were taken by roll call as the presiding officer called members' names. For items where packet materials were referenced but not read aloud, trustees requested staff to resend prior packets and to consider using a consent agenda for matters heavily vetted in committee calls.

Actions recorded above are taken from roll-call statements and the chair's announced tallies during the meeting. Where the transcript did not list detailed descriptions for an agenda item, the article notes that those specifics were not stated on the record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 21, 2025 at 6:30 PM - Regular Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its regular meeting the Flint Board of Education approved personnel recommendations, authorized school moves, approved a consulting contract and adopted two health-related policies tied to state grant funding and lab testing.

Board members framed the engagement as focused on executive coaching, a personalized plan and confidential support for the superintendent. Dr. Robinson said she will work with Superintendent Jones to assess his role and skills, develop a phased plan of work and identify areas where she can provide coaching and recommendations.

\"MLI provides coaches, executive coaches, and support for superintendents, but each program is unique,\" Dr. Robinson told trustees, describing the mentorship as a tailored process that will produce a phase 1 and phase 2 plan the superintendent can share with the board. She said that, if empowered by the superintendent, she will suggest streamlining or eliminating duplicative vendor work she identifies while working in the district.

Trustees asked about scope and authority. Dr. Robinson said she acts as a tool for the superintendent and will remain within boundaries set by Jones, but that she will offer candid recommendations in private sessions when appropriate. Board members praised her background. In the meeting Dr. Robinson summarized her education and experience, including degrees and prior superintendent roles; trustees characterized her as an experienced practitioner who can help the district pursue grants and programming.

The board approved the proposal by roll call (Treasurer Luna: yes; Trustee King: yes; Vice President McIntyre: yes; Trustee Relleford/Rutherford: yes; Trustee Booth/Boos: yes; Secretary Perkins: yes; President McNeal: yes). The motion passed on a 7-0 vote.

Action taken: Dr. Wanda Cook Robinson will begin a mentorship engagement with Superintendent Kevan Jones, develop a personalized phased plan and coordinate with the district’s academic and CIO teams to support programming, with reporting to the board as agreed.","The Flint Board of Education unanimously approved a consulting proposal to hire Dr. Wanda Cook Robinson to coach Superintendent Kevan Jones, produce a phased support plan and advise on district programming and leadership development.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6531980,"Flint board hears school-level enrollment, recruitment campaign; videos, radio and yard signs planned",474,853000,1327000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3430671-fa83a79e4ed89e3f0feefaaa99a13cba&start=853&end=1327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3430671-fa83a79e4ed89e3f0feefaaa99a13cba/thumbnail_853000.jpg","/articles/6531980/Michigan/Flint-board-hears-school-level-enrollment-recruitment-campaign-videos-radio-and-yard-signs-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6531980-73511d394d008a4ce8acc5db12bc5127/orig.mp4?Expires=1770444457&Signature=fNpLuI03BG4I9xNw9gOimNpHCi2MYc7qydQFJ0YLgJozueAlSXCZ3BJgs2Tbda9zzi61Pf8~D-LvTl7MXEUUPt~BA1bus3zjcLusvH3AoWNps9f1LC1ZDpufytICzpJjIsi6jENCEdGS5iQB9fyjReWP~SaserPGs9G5Xkq81LB5NZ040IxGDBQcoiUky0fia3j0sQ4xGztQ-RGyJV33BJtzTkctHKhCHvDjAXKCwh2rzKwXgKkx2PrAytBWjq9FfmjeXqhNuDWDCTqCZHUubU7wWCXg7rXeKaP612W310orC6O8UGoRCSnPCuzCRJVDjbWEbxAv0YTLq1LKUM-qaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Kevan Jones told the Flint Board of Education that the district is rolling out a school-focused enrollment and recruitment campaign that includes short videos for social platforms, radio appearances and yard signs, and that consultant Mr. Green will present a separate data briefing to the board in June per his contract.

Jones said the strategy centers on marketing individual schools rather than the district. \"Families don't join districts. They join schools,\" Jones said, adding the district will track views and engagement metrics and report results to the board.

The district said it already has three commercials ready and will produce at least one video for every school; platforms named for distribution include TikTok, Facebook, X and the district website. Jones said the district’s media staff has been filming in schools and that Kim Willis of the district media team has taken a lead role on production.

The board saw a draft principal video from Premier/Homestead Middle School Academy in which principal Donnetta Moore highlighted new classroom furniture, updated lighting, a new HVAC system, an updated gym and a secure front vestibule, and invited families to begin pre-enrollment online or in person. Moore identified the school’s recent National Junior Honor Society induction on May 14, 2025.

Board members asked that the videos be shared with trustees for posting on their own social channels; Jones agreed to distribute the files to the board. The superintendent also said the district will collect event lists so trustees can attend pop-up outreach events; principals, community school directors, attendance agents and central office staff will staff tables and outreach activities.

The campaign will include measurement of views and other engagement data, which the superintendent said the district will capture as it continues the rollout. Mr. Green’s presentation on recruitment analytics is scheduled for June; Jones said Mr. Green is available for earlier conversations if the board requests them.

Next steps: the district will continue filming school videos, distribute materials to the board for local sharing and report back to trustees with engagement metrics and event schedules.","Superintendent Jones updated the Flint Board of Education on a districtwide enrollment and recruitment initiative that centers school-level commercials, radio outreach and local events. The campaign will measure engagement and principals will lead school-specific messaging.","actionData","errors"]
