Spring Lake approves safety and mental-health funding tied to attorney-client privilege waiver
What happened
The Board approved accepting 31aa funds designated for school safety and mental health, subject to a waiver of attorney-client privilege in the event of a mass casualty in the district. The minutes do not state the funding amount; the superintendent said legal counsel viewed the risk from the waiver as very slim.
Why it matters to families
The district can use the funds for safety and mental-health purposes, but the accepted condition could affect confidentiality of attorney-client communications if a mass-casualty event occurs.
The evidence
October 19, 2026 minutes record unanimous approval of the 31aa Funding Resolution. Superintendent Furton said the funds were designated for school safety and mental health, and that counsel advised the waiver risk was very slim in the event of a mass casualty; no funding amount is given.
