Description:  This is a meeting of the Board of Education in public for the purpose of conducting the School District's business and is not to be considered a public community meeting.

Description:  This meeting was noticed by way of publication in the Waterford Post on Thursday, April 11, 2024, was posted at the District Office (Door #7) and at Entrance #19, and was published on the District's website.

Description:  To accommodate scheduling challenges related to student demand, the Art Department will reduce its total full-time equivalent (FTE) from 2.0 FTE to 1.8 FTE. Mrs. Lintner has agreed to work under a reduced contract of 0.80 FTE for the upcoming school year.

Description:  At this time the board would like to invite any member of the audience to stand with comments about items of interest or concern that do or do not appear on the agenda this evening. Please begin by stating your name and address. It would be appreciated if you would limit your comments to three minutes so that we can keep the meeting moving in a timely fashion and allow others an opportunity to speak. We ask that you remember that Wisconsin law prohibits us from discussing specific employees or their job performance. Thank you for your support of our school district.

Description:  The Student Council Sergeant at Arms will provide an update on the recent activities of various student co-curricular clubs. 

Description: 

The upcoming Board of Education meeting will include a critical discussion regarding the potential demolition of a four-plex unit located at 130 Field Drive. The building's current state poses challenges, as it requires substantial upgrades to meet code requirements for a public dwelling. These include the installation of an elevator, wheelchair-accessible restrooms, and dual entry and exit routes, which would entail significant expenses beyond the district's budget.

Gunderson Excavating has provided a quote for the complete removal of the structure at a total cost of $26,800. This expense would be covered by pooling resources from various budgets along with any end-of-year dollars remaining.

The meeting will also consider alternative actions should the demolition not proceed. In such a case, additional measures must be taken to secure the building, including repairs to the roof and windows, to maintain safety and structural integrity.

Board members will discuss the pros and cons of the proposed demolition and determine the most feasible option for the district. Their decision will aim to align with the district's financial resources, safety standards, and overall strategic goals.

Description:  The Human Growth and Development Committee recommends that the school board review and approve the findings and recommendations presented in the Human Growth and Development Committee Report Out. Approval of the proposed updates will ensure that our curriculum continues to meet the diverse needs of our students, fosters healthy development, and promotes informed decision-making regarding personal health and well-being.

Description:  In February, students registered for classes for the upcoming 2024-25 school year. Principal Dan Foster has been working with Student Services to establish the number of course sections based on student selections. He will present data on the proposed number of course sections and offerings in each department.

Description:  Reconvene in Executive Session under Wis. State Statutes 19.85 (1) (c) considering employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility.
