• Dexter's New Scoreboard needs a Back (thesuntimesnews.com) — Dexter Community Schools has approved funding to add a large Dexter-branded banner to the back of the new Al Ritt Stadium scoreboard, improving how it looks from the road. The board also greenlit a separate lighting project for the stadium, both paid through existing bond funds and aimed at upgrading the game-day experience for the community. 
• Dexter Community Schools are exploring adding a Peer to Peer Gym Class (thesuntimesnews.com) — Dexter High School may soon offer a new Peer-to-Peer Physical Education class designed to include students with autism and other disabilities alongside general education peers. With strong student interest and limited spots in the current Peer-to-Peer course, this gym-based option would expand access, promote inclusion, and be co-taught by general and special education teachers if approved by the school board.
• Webster Twp: Board Meeting Synopsis 12/16/25 (thesuntimesnews.com) — Webster Township’s board met at Webster Township Hall in Dexter on December 16, approving major spending for township renovations, new assessor office furniture, and budget line-item increases.
