Kyle Clement Appointed to Board of Education
At a special meeting held on July 29, 2025, the Caledonia Community Schools Board of Education appointed Kyle Clement to fill the trustee seat vacated earlier this summer. Mr. Clement will serve in this role through the remainder of the current term, ending December 31, 2026.
Mr. Clement previously served as a trustee on the Caledonia Board of Education from 2016 to 2022. During that time, he was involved in district financial planning, long-range strategy, and oversight of bond-related initiatives as a member of the Finance and Bond Committees. His familiarity with school operations and governance allows him to step in with continuity and experience. He also currently serves on the Caledonia Youth Sports Association (CYSA) Board and the Caledonia Township Planning Commission, further reflecting his strong commitment to the Caledonia community.
“Kyle brings a calm, collaborative approach and a deep commitment to doing what is best for all students,” said Board President Tim Morris.
The Board and administration thank all applicants for their interest and welcome Mr. Clement back to board service.
About the Board of Education
The Caledonia Community Schools Board of Education is dedicated to the success of our students and is guided by the district's mission, that in the pursuit of excellence, CCS will empower and equip all persons to achieve their best by ensuring the highest quality systems for learning. The seven school board members are elected for six-year terms in even year November elections by the residents of our school district.
Board members work collaboratively to accomplish district goals, to hire and evaluate the superintendent, to monitor and create the policies that govern our students and district and to oversee the financial operations of the district. Board members are not involved in the day-to-day operations of the district.
The school board is committed to transparent operations and considers effective communication with all stakeholders of the district to be of the utmost importance. Board members are the bridge between the school district and community. There is a time for public comment at all board meetings and board members are also available via email. If you have a student enrolled at CCS and have a specific complaint, we encourage you to start the conversation with your student’s teacher and principal.
Board of Education Meetings
Guided by four elected officers (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer), the school board members work closely with the superintendent to conduct their business during regular school board meetings held each month. It is during these meetings that official business will be brought to vote. All regular board meetings are open to the public and provide a time for public comment. There may be times when special board meetings or board workshops are scheduled. These are scheduled on an as-needed basis.
Additionally, all members of the board are on a Committee of the Whole. This committee discusses topics of importance before taking action at the regular meeting.
Minutes of Caledonia Community School board meetings are posted following board approval which occurs at the next scheduled board meeting. Below you will find minutes of the current academic year. In addition, the district archives the most recent two (2) academic years on our web page.
