The Royal Oak School Board convened on June 26, 2025, for a meeting that marked a significant transition in leadership and addressed key policy updates. Superintendent's report highlighted that this would be the last meeting for the current superintendent, who will officially step down in July. Dr. Topolsky will take over the role, with a month-long transition period planned to ensure a smooth handover. The board welcomed Jennifer Perkins as the new executive assistant to the superintendent and board, marking her first official meeting.

In addition to leadership changes, the board conducted a first reading of revised policies and guidelines, which are set to be reviewed again in July. This process is part of the board's ongoing efforts to update and refine its policies with the assistance of Neola, a policy advisory service.

The meeting also included discussions on budget amendments for various funds, including the general fund and community service fund. These amendments represent the final adjustments for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, ensuring that the district's financial planning remains transparent and accountable.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to effective governance and community engagement as it prepares for new leadership and continues to refine its policies for the benefit of Royal Oak Schools. The next steps will involve finalizing the leadership transition and addressing the proposed policy changes in the upcoming meeting.
