001is a regular meeting of the Winnan School Board. We are in the middle school library. It is 6:30 p.m. June 1st, 2026. Um meeting notices were sent to members of the press, members of the school board, and were posted on the front doors and or vestibules of district school buildings. This is a meeting of the board and public for the purpose of conducting the school district's business, and it is not to be considered a public hearing. There may be a time for public comment as indicated in the agenda. The meeting will also be available to watch live at www.youtube.com/wini. Um please stand and join me in the pledge of allegiance. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible,

002with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay, board members, roll call, please. Bar here. Fle here. Hansen >> here. A >> here. >> Kundi's here. Yep. >> And Gowards here. Okay. So, this is something new we added on here and it's just kind of a formality to adopt the agenda before each meeting. Um, so is there a motion or I would entertain a motion to adopt the agenda. >> I'll make the motion. I'll second. >> Okay. Um, motion by Kundi, second by Aman to adopt the agenda. All in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Any opposed. >> Okay. Motion is passed. Recognizing our administrative team. We have Mike Sippert, Carly Horvath, Lauren Dodd, Leam Mashad, David Jerbeck, um Joe Pitch, Mike Maner, and Dan Dner. Think we got everybody. [snorts] And visitors, if you

003haven't already, there's a sign up sheet in the back. If you could sign in, we would greatly appreciate that. >> Dr. Larson is also here tonight. >> Oh, of course. And do I'm so sorry. And Dr. Larson, I see you as like with us. So, and Dr. Larson. [laughter] >> Thank you, Jill. Okay. Um, now we will move into public comment. Um, first to speak we have Laura Aman. Thank you. I just want to say quick prayer if you want to join me you can bow your heads. Dear Lord, thank you for all the support of this entire school district in preparing our students that graduated over the weekend along with their parents. It is very joyful to celebrate this kind of a passing of moving from being a student into your next phase of

004life. We ask that you put your um arms around them and continue to guide them as they move into their next phase of adulthood. We ask this in your name. Amen. The other thing I just would like to bring up that [clears throat] Adam and I had an opportunity to join a a group on a small farm that we some farmers, some faith leaders, and Robert F. Kennedy today to talk about what they're doing both nationally and going to try to do in Wisconsin. And we're happy that they have changed um and milk will be coming back into the schools, real milk. So, we're very excited about that. They have flipped the food pyramid and we will be seeing a lot more in the near future on the changes that they have researched and done

005over the last 10 10 years. [cough and clears throat] Um, and the healthy food that they're going to start offering and that will also be starting to come out to the schools sometime shortly, probably next year or next uh semester. [clears throat] So, it was a great day, great conversations um and we're encouraged. So, thank you. Thank you. Um, next we have Kimberly Zeller. >> Good evening, school board members. Madame President, I have heard through members of our community allegations that I find concerning and would appreciate clarification on, not just as a parent of students in the strict district, but also as a school district employee. Is it true that you personally went to the home of an adult student, someone over the age of 18, and informed that student's parent, that they wish to

006be addressed by a preferred name during Sunday's graduation ceremony? If this occurred, I would like to understand the legal basis for such action. Specifically, how do you reconcile it with FURPA, which transfers educational privacy rights from parents to students once they reach the age of 18? I believe our community as a whole deserves transparency regarding all district policies and practices surrounding student privacy, particularly when those students are legal adults and are entitled to FURPA to exercise their own educational privacy rights. If the reported incident occurred, I respectfully request clarification regarding what district policy authorized you to do such a thing. If you received consent from the student, and um what safeguards are in place to ensure compliance with FURPA by schoolboard members who have access to extremely personal and sensitive information regarding students and also

007all of us district staff. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to your response. >> Um I will say I will respond briefly that the parent of that child contacted me and invited me to her home. So I went to the home of a constituent >> as a can I speak as a school board member or as you personally >> as a schoolboard member and that is my job to represent my constituents. If somebody reaches out to me with a concern, I'm allowed to go and listen to their concerns. That does not mean that I released information that was not allowed to to be released. Thank you. Um, next up I have Adam Arenss. >> I just want to say uh thank you to you and Heather for uh linking all

008the financials. Uh I actually just did a open record request a couple week uh months ago on the financials. So it's glad it's they're all here. Anyone in the community can look at them and transparency wise I don't know why it took so long but anyway that's awesome. Thank you. Um, it's going to save time for, you know, no one I wouldn't have to do open record class. Peggy wouldn't have to go find them. So, it's just a good a nice step. I'm appreciative of that. Uh, I also wanted to just give a shout out June 2nd annual Title 9 month. Uh, the Department of Education second annual title N month um to, you know, returning enforcement of Title 9 to biological reality. So, within the first two weeks of of Trump's presidency, the department

009returned uh enforcing the um the original 2020 title back to 2020 Title 9, reversing the Biden administration's illegal 2024 rewrite. This once again aligns with Title 9's sex-based protections with biological reality, not ideological fantasy. So, the Biden administration's distorted Title 9 sexbased protections contrary to the meaning that allow males to compete in women's sports and occupies women's intimate facilities based on self uh professed gender identity, not biological sex. So over the past 16 months, the Trump administration has taken historic action to reverse the Biden administration's immeasurable harm to women and girls by restoring Title 9 to the letter of the law and to its original intent protecting women and girls. So, I would also like to say I was not aware of uh what you were going to say, Kimberly, but all you had to

010do is write an email or ask or whatever it may be, but it's none of your business really what someone does and it's I can't even believe you come up with something like that. But I'm not surprised, not shocked. So, thank you. >> Okay, next we have Mr. Solomon Kitt. >> Um, I'd like to speak on number 11. on um agenda academic and career planning. Over the past year, I had the amazing opportunity. Um I took the opportunity to do early college credit program at W Oshkosh, which means um I was off campus all day, every day at W Oshkosh, taking classes there as a student there among the college students there. And over the past two semesters, I amassed 27 college credits. And it only costed me and my family $1,100. And I wish

011this program was talked about more because I think more people would take the opportunity to take this program like I did, even if it's not to the extent that I did, but just to get the opportunity. And the cost was amazing for my family. So, Thank you, Solomon. Um, next up we have Amanda Kat. And I just want to say that I appreciated graduation. It was really nice. And I just wanted to make an extra shout out to the choir. The choir gets me every time. So, really great uh selections and I just really loved it. So, great job. Okay, that should conclude public comment. Um, moving into consent agenda. Just grab my notes quick. Um, there were a couple revisions to the minutes. Um, you should have each received a slightly revised copy via

012email and you should have one at your spot. Um, so we will be voting on the amended version. Um, I also wanted to give a shout out to Heather for linking, if you notice, there's a different format for consent agenda. She linked all of that on the agenda hopefully to make it a little bit easier to read. Um, let me know what you guys think if if that's helpful. Um, any questions or comments from the board on anything in consent agenda? Okay. Then I would entertain a motion to approve consent agenda. >> So move. >> I'll [snorts] second. >> Okay. Motion by Kundi, second by Flag to approve consent agenda. Roll call, please. >> Hansen. >> Hi. >> Aman. Hi >> I can I just say it's it's Mark Pundy. >> I'm sorry. Okay. It

013was correct. >> Thank you. >> Can we please maintain decorum? It says the one who just lied to a a public member. Excuse me. >> [clears throat] >> I have always been respectful to everybody on this board and I'm I'm going to ask the same in return, please. >> A good example you're setting. >> Um, moving on to >> to number eight, we have Logan. We have Logan Fuller here tonight to present to the board some information on a possible new subdivision going up in the village. Um Logan is our village administrator. Um Logan, do you want to come up front or where are you? [laughter] >> I can flick the lights on and off really quick for me. >> You guys have the presentation. I'm going to try to get the the slides online

014here. >> Mr. Fuller, they have their pres the presentation too. So, but so everybody can see. >> Awesome. Um I think uh best way maybe is just kicking over to the side if that works for everybody. >> Sorry. >> No, I'm good. I've >> You seen it? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, while that's coming up, um I spoke with Peggy about I know that there's been a lot of talk about a lot of recent development that we have within the community. So, the slides that we prepared tonight were really mostly just kind of giving you an overlay of why these things need to happen. So, a little bit more flavor and atmospherics as it relates to uh some of the initiatives near-term and far-term that we have as a community as a whole. and then

015essentially how that impacts the school. I know um looking at your near and far range plans uh for the municipality, we've already begun the budgeting cycle. So, it's really imperative that anything that we're doing is going to have a a cause and effect around um any of our our other partners and one of one of which is the school. So, with that, here's a snapshot of our economic development. That was real quick. Do you need the next slide or do you want on this one? >> Go for it. >> Okay. >> All right. So, what we want to start out with was a uh net new construction outlook. Um Mike is here to really make sure that I don't forget anything. He's our he's our treasurer. He's our numbers guy. He runs our finance department.

016So, um he knows these numbers frontways and back ways. So, at any point if anybody has any questions, please feel free to ask. We wanted to break it out into three areas of what we have what's called, you know, kind of our [snorts] book of business, if you will. What is our economic development pipeline of what we already have commits for things that we know are are very probable to happen. Not just a forecast, but a projection. >> Can I ask a question quick before you go further? For those of us that don't know for sure, where is the location you're talking about this taking place? So, um, the old subdivision and and I'll preface this by saying that I was told that it was called the projects when I I took the role and

017I I looked at him like this is not the projects. Uh, so it's it's the old subdivision. So, where Calypso ends right now, um, that 80ish acres that abuds right into that subdivision, pass D, right, >> is uh, formerly owned at um, by uh, Mr. Protrats is now under land contract. Uh I just received the annexation documentation yesterday or correction Friday. So um my board's going to be reviewing that. Hopefully passing that. Um all signs point very positive to to annex that property in uh here in the next couple weeks. So that's just continuation of the the old [snorts] subdivision. >> So is that currently town of Winn County incident? >> That's correct. So with that, uh, our current subdivision, Wolf Run, uh, you can see year-over-year the numbers kind of increase. And part of

018that is because single family homes along with mixed use. So uh, behind Klein Ford, we've got a bunch of uh, twow units, call them twinos, but they're sidebyside condos, essentially town homes, if you will. uh [snorts] kind of have a little bit of mixed use amongst the the offerings that we're presenting to the public. Um, as the chair of the Industrial Development Board of the I can tell you I've been briefed a ton on this. We're roughly about a thousand homes shy per year of the demand. The microeconomic effects of that from a business standpoint is substantial. When businesses are looking at expanding, they're looking at their workforce housing and and their availability of the talent. If they don't have housing opportunities to match what some of those uh public job offerings exist, it's difficult

019to recruit and retain talent, which then drives them to look outside of our community for for potential um expansionary job opportunities that that kind of down trace to some of our recent recent high school grads to college grads and and so on and so forth, right? So workforce housing is really important, but a mix of that. I'll preface everything by saying that all of our net new construction is always forecasted based off of all the decisions that we make are based off of the norms, values, and beliefs, the community that we serve, right? So being very deliberate and decisive of the type of home offerings that we have, what we're putting out there, and ensuring that we have the demand to meet that is is real critical. For example, uh for Wolf Run, uh Eric

020has not had to advertise at all. Every one of his homes have gone to an open rolled family. if my numbers are roughly correct and ish I think you guys have about 349ish open enrolled students. So I don't know how many families that really equivalates to, but I would say that the majority of the homes that are going uh towards this new subdivision, I I would be very surprised if we didn't get a ton of open enrolled families committing into those those new homes in 2026. This is kind of the where we're we're targeting about five single family homes mostly to the new or the current subdivision pipelined its way out to 2028. At that point you see a very large ramp. That ramp is due to the fact that now we've set the conditions

021for net new construction to happen through getting the annexation of this new property, getting that builder online through the development process and capable of actually breaking ground and starting movement. Another um point of emphasis is industrial. So last March we sold 14 acres to uh Switch Gear, which is our biggest manufacturer. We're working with them. Uh but they have big plans, big ideas, and um we're we're going through a couple things with them right now to just solidify final um final pieces to the puzzle, if you will, for them to be able to be in a position to break ground relatively soon in the next year or so. And they're they're looking at a very large scale manufacturing uh facility. What that would do is it would take all of their manufacturing that they currently

022have within the Fox Valley and consolidate that into one global headquarters resulting in about two to 250 employees and so on. Um they're they've been growing at about 40% year-over-year which means those are from your entry level positions to your highly skilled uh positions. Once again having net new construction from a housing perspective gives them workforce housing. It's it's all hands washing hands at this point, right? And why is this even possible? It's because people understand our locality. We're 15 minutes away from Oshkosh in the Fox Valley. Phenomenal school. Uh I I know no school district is perfect, but I I promise you this much, ours is in in in the top tier. So, it's driving people to be here. Along with the fact that we we have a gorgeous community. You look at our

023waterways. Uh, we've stuck since I I took over. You're in a couple weeks. Three years already. Time flies. Um, about cumulative between Lake Winnie and what we're doing over at Marble, almost $5 million worth of investment within our parks. Just our parks. Meanwhile, every year we're doing infrastructure improvements, right? So business understands that our processes have improved to attract business to come in here and feel confident that they have a partner but a responsible one at that. Meanwhile, making sure that our public offerings are where they need to be. So people this this community is in high demand. It's not if it's when type thing. And so through that you can see year-over-year for the next five years. The fifth year being this year out to 2030 you see a rate of improvement um at

024our peak forecasting roughly 2028 that biggest increase. Mike's going to talk about uh net new construction that percentage why we highlight that which will go into our next slide. >> Yeah. So Logan had mentioned um all the public offerings. That percentage is important to us because our levy is based on the percentage of net new construction. So you see year-over-year the dollar amount that we're increasing to the village as a whole. Our levy only goes up by the percentage of construction. So that's what we are looking at. So when we think about our operating budget, to keep numbers super simple, call it a million dollars. That million dollars is meant to give you public works, police protection, [snorts] libraries, the everything in between, right? Call it a million dollars. All we're increasing by is is

025that percent. So if you see it's8 this year conservatively looking at 6 and then it goes up to 10 and then it kind of trails off right that's from that million dollars not the dollar amount that you see invested. So what happens when uh interest rates go up inflationary factors health care prices so on and so forth go up we stay at net zero if we don't grow. So then what ends up happening is that the market continues to climb. If we stay stagnant, how do we afford those same offerings? [snorts] We can't. So then we stagnate wages, which limits our ability to find good talent, which can cause a ton of problems. I found out about that when I took over, right? Um some of you really get that. Um but but the reality

026is right like if you're not if you're not growing with at least the inflationary impacts, you can't sustain your current services. So at some point you get to a place where I can't attract new talent. I can't sustain talent that I already have because I can't pay them what they're worth. And then we freeze and then we have to look at what do we cut and then that's dependent on who's on the board at that time and what's the most important thing. So that's the reason why growth is so important for us and we'll get into how how this really impacts you. Mike, did I miss anything else on this? >> Um, no. Well, kind of on that percentage. >> Yes. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> I was trying to be nice. Yeah. >> So, when

027we look at adding a hundred million in that new construction, we're not adding a h 100red million in tax dollars. our budget goes up maybe 3 to 400,000 and that's to keep up with the high demand and with the new value and and and the craziest part with that and he just looked at me and did one of those things is uh we we don't recognize that revenue until the year after. So we're always getting paid in the rears. >> Correct. >> So even though so so look at it from this standpoint. If you bought if you if you built a new home today and here we are in June, would you pay the last 6 months worth of property value of of what that brand new home is worth? No. Because it wasn't complete.

028You don't walk into it, it didn't have a market value yet. It was just dirt for a while. So until you see that, that's why you have to have that whole year in the rear to actually capture that growth. Does that make sense? clear as mud. Good. All right. Uh, next slide. All right. So, in part of this was just to give you a highlight of of who the developer we're working with is. And the big takeaway with this slide is just knowing this is the the website to go to. Uh, it's uh www.t as in tango, m as in mikebuilds.com. And in there he's already done subdivisions in Clintonville, um, [sighs and gasps] Hortonville, Fox Crossings, all throughout the Fox Valley. His scale is is measurable, meaning that he owns, um, the the supply

029chain connected to building the homes. He he has a great process and controls so that um, all of his subcontractors and whatnot are all pipelined and part of the the process. What ends up happening with a lot of smaller builders, for example, they might have three or four different framers, people that are going to frame all your walls, right? They they've got them locked in and then all of a sudden they're competing to get the same high performer because that person's deciding, okay, do I do five homes for you or do I do 50 for this person? I'm going to allocate my resources to do the 50 and it better be worth my time if I'm going to kick anybody over to you. Right? That happens habitually. That's why, you know, you you'll see homes

030that should take 6 to 8 months take a year and a half. It's because you're trying to fight to find the subs to come in and actually execute this work. Tom has been able to streamline all of those things and he's got a ton of different offerings that he can give to homeowners. But through that, when we say that this will be a three-phase approach, we're looking at about 40 to 50 homes per year. So, this isn't a drawn out process. Okay? So, this is we're we get through the annexation process uh and then the building process where pre-platin, if you're interested on all of that, come to a planning commission meeting, come to a board meeting. highly encourage you to go to our website where a ton of information is there and it's revamped.

031Um that's where you can learn more about Tom, but I can tell you uh the price ranges are going to be 330 to 450 and that's really dependent on the buyer. Um we've we've got a lot of opportunities there, but um that's kind of the high level uh for for the developer we're working with. We're very selective. I've been hit up by a numerous amount of of business uh developers and home um uh developers and uh I can tell you he was the one that had the best offering with the uh the timetable we were looking at along with results, things that we could go out and touch and actually see. I I I think everybody in this room might be a little surprised on how often I get hit up for a litany of

032of different things. And I can tell you it all goes back down to norms, values, and beliefs of the community. We're not going to accept a near-term win that's going to have devastating long-term effects, right? And I think that's been done previous administrations. I can tell you right now, this is an example of being super deliberate. Any questions on this right now? >> I have a couple questions. Yes, sir. >> When you say annexation, is it the states holding it up or the county or? >> Nope. Nope. So, we >> have to go through the county then? >> Uh, not not so much the county, but we do have to submit everything to the state. Usually, this process takes about 30 to 45 days. It it has to be initiated by the the land owner.

033Land owner submits the the petition with all the documentation. Uh, >> I serve on our land use planning committee. That's why I asked. >> Are you trying to trick me over here? >> No, I just want to know. I want to go the right direction. >> And my next question is I think what we're really concerned about here is where's your projections on children? >> Yep. Uh so next slide. >> All right. So why this matters to you currently? Um, [clears throat] we're we're I mean, if I was going to baseline anything, I would just look at what I've seen from actuals, from what we currently are seeing from the marketplace. Every home on Wolf Run who their evaluation to start is much greater from a price perspective than what we're going to be offering

034in in this subdivision. And I can tell you um every one of them have been open rolled families. So, I couldn't tell you how many I can only tell you that 50% of the clientele that Tom has typically seen are first-time home buyers. Uh, 25% are um that median age, like midyear or mid-career professionals, so sitting around 40 to 42 with with kids appropriate in age. And then, uh, the remainder are folks that want to downsize but not downgrade. I think that's a big misconception, right? you know, you've got a big beautiful place on the lake, but yet it's just you and your your partner. This is way too much to just have in general, a lot of upkeep and whatnot. You want to release that burden, get into something brand new that has a

035very smaller amount of um of uh maintenance and upkeep, right? So, that's about that other 25% that that they've seen. But um typically like right now our median age for a for our community is almost 44 years old, right? So with 50% [clears throat] of these folks typically based off the other um developments being at 30 to 40, that's going to bring our median average down. So I would imagine kids would follow that. [snorts] >> I simply asked that question because I was on the board when the development started west of Winnie County way back when it did. Sure. >> At that time, we got projected numbers that we would looked at to base some projections on if you ever at all could come with those other than what you're saying. What I'm hearing is

036a lot of open enrollment. Well, we've already got those students. >> Yeah. Now, they're not going to be open enrollment, >> right? But we're looking for capacity and building and so on for our facilities. So, that's really why I'm asking the question. Well, I I would defer you to look at any of the neighboring counties information as it relates to any any new subdivision. Typically, how many folks walk in there? I mean, the struggle is uh what what is considered affordable new housing today, 10 years ago, we're talking apples and oranges, right? I mean, on a $300,000 home, [snorts] if you're going to put 20% down and not pay PMI, you're looking at $60,000. So, a new college grad is going to have to make a lot of decisions early in life or or get

037fortunate by playing the lotto or doing something, right, to be able to ramp up and make that that savings available for them to be able to purchase. >> And see, here's this is where I'm I'm looking at this. You know, I'm seeing where we're looking at home price range 300,000 to 450,000. You know, talking to the community when we were out campaigning this year, >> um, a lot of people are suffering. You know, a lot of people are are just making it. They're just skirting by >> and the children that we have currently in our district right now. Um the people that are renting, the people that are, you know, living with, um, you know, grandparents or extended family and are hoping to try and find, you know, homes of their own, um, how are

038they going to be able to afford this? You know, we're looking to try and find homes for them. This is going to be out of their range or they're not going to be able to be able to meet what they need to meet to be able to apply for financing. What do we have options for them? So, I I do know Tom does financing of some sort. I don't want to advertise on his behalf, but that would be [snorts] the first step. The other thing I would say is if you look at rent prices and you look at mortgage prices, uh there's there's an increase there where they're almost at the same or actually sliding upwards. So, it's a it's a personal decision. if if it matters to you to to be able to afford

039that offering. I mean, the same way that I can't go and say, "Hey, I want to live in a $5 million place." Well, it's good to want if I'm not willing to put the time in to save the money and do the things, right? >> So, then you go and you make a choice and you say, "Okay, well then the $200,000 homes that were once good enough for our Winn County residents and that type of class of people, we no longer want that class of people in town. we're going to go and put the class of people that can afford the $340,000 homes in our town. [clears throat] >> That that that's that's a that's a reasonable observation, but what you see, this is the cause and effect. The same way somebody that's sitting on

040the lake is looking to downsize to take advantage of other opportunities. might be the same for that person that lives already in a $200,000 home that's looking to upgrade into a new build, which opens up and loosens up the the the strings on a lot of those lower, more affordable homes for those folks to be first-time home buyers, right? So, I mean, if you look at >> see how much they sell their homes for over there, that's not what they sell their homes. >> We're not unique then, right? like I mean the the litany of different um communities that are dealing with the same thing is is very preferable. >> I just don't see that what we're offering this type of um community is going to give us enough of a spread for the rest

041of the people. Let's just call it. I I I think we're pricing out. I think when you look at the square footage of a house today, >> whether it's a three-bedroom home or not, and you look at the cost per square footage, you're going to fall right within that range. >> I'm I'm very well aware of this. I I work in this industry, Mark. So, I'm very >> So, I think it comes back down to what's the median market price, right? So if you go to the north side of Oshkosh where I grew up, it's a lot different than what it was 20 some odd years ago. >> Sure, I understand that. You know, I would just like to see if we had some type of pricing that >> would help out the other people.

042>> Well, I can just tell you from the municipality standpoint, I'm here to brief what we have coming up. >> Thank you, Mr. You know, I would just like to present this new subdivision. I totally understand. I totally I just want to speak for everybody. And I don't want to let anybody be left out. >> Sure. No, I get that. Um, again, I You're speaking to the subdivision that's likely coming in. >> I'm speaking for everybody. I'm speaking for the people that voted for me. That's all. >> Um, Logan, I know I thought I saw it in here and now I just can't find it. Um, the number of lots and the proposed timeline. And >> Yep. Yep. So, that was probably in a previous slide. So, I I'll I'll just Yeah, great great point.

043Thank you. uh Peggy is uh so we're looking at 160. Now this is before delineations and we do pre-plat and postpone knows how that expands or constracts. Uh what what really that means is what you can build on what you can't build on for a gamut of different reasons. Right? So, um, we're targeting 160, but we we'll solidify that as we get closer to the fall time period and we get done with that pre-plat and we move into that that final plat. The final plat is essentially what delineates what lots are going to look like, where they're going to be spread out. Um, we do technical reviews up front, so working with the DOT, looking at all the traffic ability aspects, looking at the safety aspects. Uh, I promise you God and everybody's looking at

044this thing to make sure that we're trying to uncover every possible scenario as best as we can. Uh, I know that we are not interested in making Calypso a drag racing event. Uh, promise you that much. Uh, so there's there's a ton of considerations that we have within it. We'd be looking at in theory being um primed and ready to go by that November, early December time frame. Uh, and then >> this November. This November, December >> for like the first >> for the first section of of what we're we're putting out. >> How many houses is that? >> It depend. >> You can't say. >> Yeah. So, I I can just tell you we've got a total period of performance of roughly 3 years to do 160 ohms. >> Between 27 and 29, we're

045looking to add about 160 ohms. >> Oh, I knew. I thought I saw that in there someplace. Yeah. No, no, you're uh the new construction slide. >> Yep. >> How many are left to go in the one east of town? >> Uh so there we've got >> Well, actually, can you go back? >> Which one? How many? >> Uh just the pre uh next one or no, this one. >> Yep. >> That one right there. So if you look at the bottom, I'm getting old so I can't read it as good as I could have. So in 27 we're targeting 45 single family homes between both the old subdivision and the new subdivision along with 16 multifamily. So that 16 family is going to be that side by side uh twindo that I talked about

046that'll be going behind Klein Ford along with um some condo units as well uh kind of intersparsed over there as well. So, so when you say so the twinaminiums and then like a true condominium complex as well like how many home? Uh we're keeping it small like it's relative to because originally we were looking at apartment buildings but then again pulling back looking at what this community based off the norms values and beliefs what what matters most and what is more reflective of what the desire is because I'll tell you um I've I've had a lot of also on the other side a lot of folks talk about HUD housing and section 8 and things of that nature And I think those are great offerings for the right community, but I govern based off of

047the community I serve, not the one I I feel is is what I think is best. Right. So with that, um there's a gamut of different data and things out there for that. So based off of those factors, that's the reason why uh we felt like an apartment complex, the the rub with it is you fill it, but then the second you don't have it fully full, now what happens to your rate prices? And then that could potentially change and then, you know, have a lot of cause and effect that we didn't feel is a community our size is ready to kind of deal with when I look at our emergency management systems and so on and so forth. So this is why uh deliberate like 86 unit is is what we're looking at. >>

048Thanks. >> Yep. >> A quick question with your traffic uh impacts. >> Yeah. >> Um do you have to deal with the the uh >> DOT >> the DOT as far as flow like in and uh like rush hour? >> 100%. >> I'm trying to predict where the first traffic light would be. >> Well, stay tuned. I think we all are. Just tell me it'll be better than it has been with the onro traffic. >> Yeah. So, it's uh because we don't have jurisdiction over it, right? What we have to do is get, >> you know, I'm a I'm a huge proponent data drives decisions. >> So, if we don't collect data and we don't analyze it and we don't have those controls in place to feel confident that the information we have is good

049and solid, uh then it's not worth anything, right? But what we want to do is we want to be able to look and say use pace counts and use all kinds of different data that we need just to look at what 116 is going to be on that side of town just in general. And then um working with the DOT, they've been great partners so far, honestly, every time that we've we've talked to them. And uh the the intent is once we have a good scheme maneuver of how we plan on mitigating the traffic flow just from a safety perspective for the community that we're putting in and the already existing community then we have to really look at that that rate of travel over that bridge. Right? [snorts] So if we've influxed it by

050x amount of percent does that now cause the DOT to now put a roundabout in which some people are huge fans of or or not. right? Uh or a stoplight or some sort of preventative measure. So, that'll be kind of I'm hoping we get some reflections from the DOT when we start talking about entrance and like egress and uh ingress points within this new community to try to kind of parlay itself or like uh give us some foreshadowing what's to come. [snorts] >> Thanks, Mr. >> Yeah, >> appreciate your time. >> Absolutely. >> Go to our website totally refreshed. Check it out. Thanks. >> Thank you so much, Logan. Okay. Moving along to number nine is school safety conversation. Um, we have our school resource officer, Mr. Ben Honer, here as well as our chief

051of police, Mr. fencoral. Um, do you guys >> for having two of us? >> Do you want to come up or pull up a chair or >> a spot where you would rather have us be? Hey, over here. >> It doesn't matter. >> Doesn't matter. >> You Yeah. Or you can go here or where? Wherever. >> See? >> Make yourself comfy. >> I'm comfy. >> You guys comfy. >> We just showed you where to go. [laughter] I know trying to tell him. >> So, the main thing that we're going to discuss is your email that he gave Peggy. So, I'm going to read a form and that should hopefully answer and alleviate most of the questions and kind of educate the board and some of the people that are here. Okay. If you have any

052questions after, feel free to let us know. Okay. So, forgive me for my reading skills. I'm a rocket originally. Okay. >> [laughter] >> So you had a question about Alice training and staff preparation. Correct. So the school district follows nationally recognized Alice best practices with the primary focus on evacuation when possible and mitigation [clears throat] strategies while law enforcement responds. Law enforcement training is centered on quickly locating and stopping the threat while the school staff focus on safely evacuating and securing the students. So that means is we work with this as a partnership. If a incident occurs, an officer owner can speak to that. We'll respond what we do and then the school is going to do what they got to do and we work together as a team on that. Does that make sense

053so far? Any questions? Good. >> Okay. These trainings are are designed to improve um coordination and preparedness between school staff and law enforcement which includes some but not all the following. We got map overlays which denote rally points, exit and entrance points, emergency response hierarchy and contact information my skyward and everybody's internal information host and support agencies responding EMS local PD county and more communication protocols and equipment internal and external command and control law enforcement presence during drills. Law enforcement officers have been present during school related training activities and continue to maintain a close partnership with the district. Traffic control and emergency response coordination are an important considerations. Okay. So, we will set up traffic control and barricades and tracker direction if we have to because I believe the local rally point is Lake Winn

054County Park. Student education and age appropriate discussions. The Winn County PD will support discussions to better inform and educate upon requests from the district. Emergency response times. Winn County PD upon receipt of a dispatch call will respond as quickly as possible. All competing calls or requests are denied and all resources will immediately be directed to respond. What does that mean? We get a 911 call here for an emergency. That's it. We're coming hell on wheels. We're going to take care of the threat the best we can. And other agencies upon request are coming. Okay. School clearing procedures. I know you had a question about that. To ensure the effectiveness of the tactics, techniques, and procedures of mitigating these threats are most impactful. It is necessary to maintain confidentiality regarding these efforts. However, the one county

055PD conducts various collective and individual training which enhances their ability to respond. And we got a question about training with students present. Upon request, the Winn County PD may provide training and support depending on the scale, scope, and timing of the request along with the appropriate rationale. Note, the Winn County Police Department is funded solely by the village of Winn County, including the village's share of the school resource officers compensation and benefits. The school district is funded separately by the um communities within the district. As a result, requesting requests for training or professional development that fall outside the scope of the existing SRO agreement between the village and the school district require review of cost allocation and funding responsibility. If such training is requested at no additional cost of the school district, the request should

056be evaluated by the appropriate committee and forwarded to the village board for consideration and approval. Mutual aid and community safety. So I'll get into a little bit about our mutual aid with other partners. The Winn County Police Department works closely with mutual aid partners to ensure additional law enforcement resources are avail are available when needed consisting of sheriff's department PD. Note in the event of a situation of this nature occurs agencies from neighboring communities may you know support is available. An example of that it was a shooting 3 years ago [snorts] like county park. We had County, we had Armroll, we had State Patrol, um we had Westbend, we had Washington County, we had Quick Trip, you know, all the partners came together and to affect, you know, catching the guy that caused the shooting.

057Okay? So, I can just assure you if something occurs within the school, we're coming and we're in constant communication with the school and other agencies. We also have protocols within the village through Mr. Fuller's office to make sure everything is moving like a welloiled machine. Okay. >> So, the safety and students staff in the community. Yes. >> Just quick question going back to 3 years ago. >> Yeah. >> And I don't recall what happened, but the schools were then on a lockdown, right? >> Correct. And offic um was that you have anything more on that? I can help. >> No, I just wanted to make that's that's what would happen in that type of scenario in the village. And and I I just want to emphasize too um every situation is completely different on the

058facts of the case. That's why we have these certain protocols that are in place that are standard and there's not a lot of wiggle room, but sometimes there can be depending on the nature of the emergency and officer Mark can speak to those aspects if you have questions on that. Um students safety is our number one priority and we continue to be committed to that. And that's all I have. If you have any questions, just please let me know. Any questions for officer? Yep. So yeah, I can I can answer that. So on that day, um we had uh he was working patrol as the SRO and so um him and I got there fairly quickly to the scene. A man showed up to the dentist office on Main Street with several gunshot wounds. And

059so at that point started first aid. Um the next trying to get as much information out of him as he could talk. Um when we found that we had no idea who the shooter was, didn't know where he was, just went off of a vehicle description and that he had a scruffy face and was probably around 50s. Um I contacted the school. Um elementary school is the closest school to this and we initiated the the lockdown portion of Alice um so that no one comes in, no one leaves. business as usual on the inside the classrooms. Um, you know, I don't have to, the cool part about Alice is that I don't have to explain um to any outside agency either of what we're doing. Um, when the sheriff's department showed up, um, they already

060knew that our our school was on that and they knew what we're doing, what responding units are doing. Um, and it it was so fluid and quick. I think we were like 30 seconds from um me treating his wounds to making that call. Um, and that went in effect really quick and and I always bring that up to people who want to talk about it as it's like a real world training event. Um, so when and we kept it on lockdown and and it was right at the end of the day. So parents started showing up to pick up their kids from school. Uh we had the press was there really really fast. Um they were really quick and so it's like how do how do we court on that off that area? I know

061our village administrator was there um really fast and >> it was brand new so welcome to the village at that time. >> And so that's when we incorporate those other uh utilities like we had the um the street department come down and close off sections of those side streets so that no one in, no one out. Um when sheriff's deputies rolled up, you know, it was they already knew that they were going to place a couple deputies at the entrances and exits to the elementary school to ensure that no one goes in, no one goes out. And so there was an onslaught of parents trying to get into the school at that time cuz they had no idea what was going on. Um and same with with Amro. Um everyone is is familiar with Alice

062um in this whole area. I go to um th this yeah in the next next week is the SRO conference for the state of Wisconsin and they implement Alice I I think 90 some% of the state of Wisconsin uses it just because it's I would argue it's the most common sense approach um ever since uh the Sandy Hook school shooting in uh in Connecticut um in 2012 that kind of changed the dynamic of how we approach it. Um, that's where Alice originally kind of started with the run, hide, fight method. So, there's three options. Then there was also a fourth option. Three options is run, hide or fight in any situation. Fourth option is to freeze. We want to eliminate that, right? So when we teach kids the run, hide, fight method, it's more easily

063explained to high school kids, you know, like, hey, I can talk to high school kids pretty easily about, hey, this is the reality of we where we live and and what we're dealing with in 2026. So in that instance, you have three options. You hear gunshots over here. Well, let's book it that way. We know our reunification point. We rely on muscle memory from training from 4K all the way up to high school of bad things get up go the opposite way and it's all fluid because there's a lock down portion of Alice and it's like when do we do the huddle in the corner and lock it situational based um it all depends and and unfortunately you you can't predict any of that in the the Sandy Hook shooting they did just that they

064they huddled in their classrooms that was procedure they blocked off their door windows. Um some teachers barricaded, turned off the lights and they all huddled in the corner. True went room in room just gaining entry to those rooms and killing [snorts] students. So um that kind of made the the national view of this of let let's run fight. you know, it's more of a in Oshkosh West, the shooting um the the stabbing incident that happened there with their SRO, that was that was a a logistical nightmare, but at the same time, muscle memory from a young age, get the heck out of the building, go to the reunification point. And the one thing that the students and staff did right in that was exactly that. Um we don't have to train um students how to

065run out of a [snorts] building. It's super easy. We do it twice a year um with our drills and that's just the walk to the park, you know, and and so when we, you know, ingrain that walk to the park, this is where we go. Um and like I said, talking to high schoolers is way different than talking to 4K kids and kindergarteners. I never want to use the term bad guys with with little kids, you know, and I get it all the time. >> Wolf and the sheep. >> It's the wolf. Yeah. So, the curriculum that this school came up with is really cool. there's a book we read and and and so there's the wolf and the sheep and the protector of the the sheep and all of that. So, but as long

066as our our little ones still know, teachers still in charge of of their classroom and this is what we do and this is where we go. That's it. Um that I I think that that's the most logical approach to it. And and I think that you know the best thing I said before the best thing about Alice is that everyone's on the same page with it. Like I can throw out those terms in other agencies maybe officers from the state patrol I've never talked to in my life know exactly where I'm at what I want with without me having to overexlain that. So yeah any questions about that at all? I tend to ramble when I talk. >> This is this is perfect. Thank you. And just so you you both know um one of

067the the the big purpose here of having this is according to Wisconsin state statute 181 118.074E Wisconsin state law requires us in the public schools to submit an annual report to the state's office of school safety. The board us on the board are supposed to meet with you once a year to have this conversation. E right over here. I'm read this right over here. We're supposed to have this conversation with you, just talk about this kind of stuff and this is what I wanted to do. So, thank you so so much. This is exactly it. So, everything we just talked about here, I fulfilled it. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> I was going to add to our department does do trainings. Um, we do live fire or not live [snorts] fire but

068simulation fire exercises obviously >> not with this new building and um so we use simulation simunition rounds. Um with the last one we had um actors involved in it as well. Um obviously we do that when no one's in the building Saturdays or Sundays. Um and so we did our last one at the elementary school. >> Now here's a question. Um and maybe this will involve Dr. wor. When are we going to be able to do that here at the middle school for them with obviously the curtain walls that being very pertinent? When are we able to afford that for them to have that here at them for for them at this middle school for them with the curtain walls and this >> for them to come with >> simulated exercise? >> Um, probably [clears

069throat] not ever because I think for a middle school student that would be very >> No, no, not during the during hours. >> [laughter] >> Can I just say real quick is that one of the reasons we opted not doing it here right away is because we have a brand new building which the taxpayers are funding. We don't want to get paint rounds on [laughter] >> walls, right? Those things hurt. So they wanted to wait a little while until we get a little wear and tear. No. Yeah. [laughter] >> So I I said to clearing a room is clearing a room. It doesn't matter where that room is. When I when I train our officers on tactics on how to [sighs] stack a twoman team, a three-man team, or if you're alone, um how you

070enter a room, I looked at it as a room's a room, whether it's the middle school, elementary school, or high school. It's the tactics are the exact same. So, >> I just didn't want to put dents in the brand new drywall. It would be very important for them to do that with this particular dynamic of this building considering that we have the curtain walls >> and that is both a hindrance and a benefit to them >> and we can also do that without simunition rounds. We don't have to be okay >> um shooting at all. >> So >> Sure. Sure. >> But I can assure you that the PD is committed to the proper training um when things happen. You've got the right guy in the schools when something does happen. Okay. So Mr. Sure.

071>> We have the right people all of you. We really appreciate you all. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Yeah. Any more questions, comments, concerns? >> Is there any other questions from the board? >> Are you guys I'm very respectful of your time, but if there is a respectful question from the audience, are you guys okay with that? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Cuz we don't get you here too often. So, >> thank you. [laughter] >> Anybody? Okay. >> Tough crowd today, >> I guess. [laughter] >> It just goes to show what a great job you all do. Thank you. >> We appreciate it. Thank you guys so much. >> Thank you so much. >> Okay. Um, moving on to appointments and assignments. Um there's no motion needed on these as they're just appointed. Um for

072the WASBY delegate, I have Mark Kundi. For the CISA 6 delegate, I also have Mark Kundi. The Winn County Area Community Foundation representative, I have Donna Hansen. And moving into committees for policy, I have Carrie Flag, Mark Kundy, and myself. Um, I will chair it. And for HR finance, I have Jill Veric, Dean Aman, and Cindy Autton as chair. Um, I'm also have a few ideas for a potential another committee that I'm but I'm not comfortable forming it at this time cuz I want to see how some other districts run it. So, if you did not end up on one tonight, you will be on that one. I promise in the near future. Um, I think that is that. So, is that what would be PR marketing? Is that what you're considering or curious? >>

073Peggy and I talked about that and it hadn't met in I think like a year, right, Peggy? [laughter] >> Yeah. So, we thought if the need would arise for that, we could reform it at that time. Um, but I've been looking around at some other districts and it looks like a lot of them have like a curriculum/education committee which I'm very interested in, but I don't want to make a hasty decision on it. I want to make sure it's operates properly. So, I'd like to do some research on that. Um, so if anyone's interested in that, that's what I currently have in mind. Reach out and let me know. >> And finance was me and who? >> Jill. >> Yeah. and Jill Barage. Anything else on that? Good. >> Okay. Moving on to academic and

074career planning. Um, information is linked on the agenda for this. Um, ACP is meant to equip students and their families with tools to make informed choices about postsecary education, training, and careers after high school. It is DPI's goal for all students to graduate high school academically, socially, emotionally, and ready for life. Um, do you have anything you want to add to that, Peggy? Mr. >> Yeah. Yeah. So we uh Andrew Larson and I are two people that sit on the crew MSOD um are part of the group that we have here at the school district. Um so we just have the plan here in place there for you. This the things we um are currently doing this year and then also as you look there are pieces that we're looking to do next year and

075moving forward as well. So um we have the plan there. Uh once it's approved and pieces like that this is also on our website too. Um so the access to the public to have that as well. So, okay. Not sure if there's any specific questions or not, but >> I I move to approve the academic and career planning as planning uh tool as presented. >> I second that. >> Okay. Motion by Veric, second by Atten to approve the academic and career planning as presented. Can I make a comment, please? >> Yes. um just I've had almost five kids through this entire district and they do a fantastic job from elementary school um especially high school. They work tirelessly with these kids to to point them in the right direction and I think we heard from

076Solomon tonight that really solidified the work that they do. So I think this is a fantastic plan. >> Anything else from the board on that? [cough] All [clears throat] good. Okay. Roll call, please. Aman. >> Hi. >> Kundi. >> Hi. >> Faridge. >> Hi. >> Blake. I >> Hansen at I. And I'm sorry. >> Hi. I was recording. >> No, it's okay. Okay. Um, open enrollment out update. Um, I believe this needs approval. Did you have anything to add? >> Um, no. We really you don't you have to approve it. So, there's not a lot to to say about it. We have to approve it. Now, whether or not the students ultimately decide to attend or um they might uh not be [clears throat] eligible to attend based on the uh spaces available in the

077districts they apply to. So that comes into play later, but you have to attend their application to apply out. >> Can I just ask a quick question? >> Sure. >> Cuz this is a new format with the agenda and the documentation. This wasn't included. >> No, it accidentally got linked originally and thankfully somebody point that pointed that out to us, but I don't link that because it has kids names on it. >> I just wanted to make sure. Okay. Any other questions or comments from the board? >> Okay. So, we would need a motion to approve open enrollment out update for 2026 2027. >> So, moved. Second. Motion by Veridge, second by Flag. Um, roll call, please. Gundi. Hi >> Bar. >> Hi Le. >> Hi Hansen. >> I Aman. >> I >> Yeah, it

078works. I >> Okay. Um going down to just one meeting for the month of July. This would be July 13th. Um just make note it's not the first and third Monday like usual. I believe it was the second Monday. Correct. Um, so just with the holidays and stuff, we thought going down to one meeting with July in July would be nice. So we would need a motion to approve that. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Motion by Veric, second by Candi to go down to one meeting in July for July 13th. Roll call, please. Barrett I Lake I Hansen I Aman Aman >> I didn't hear a I >> okay admin reports um this should this was linked on the agenda um are there any questions from the board or does any admin here have
