001Okay, we should be good. Is that a good time? That'd be great. All right, so I'll call this meeting to order. This is the committee portion of the meeting. We'll start with curriculum and policy and start with discussing and setting a date and time for our 2026-2027 board goals. We usually try to do that here in June. In the past, we don't have a meeting. Are we positive looking for the end of June? I don't think we'll have to have a second meeting. We just want to use that date and time. The 24th date to have just a board meeting for going over our board goals. We'll run it by Matt. I'm pretty sure he'll be here. I know he's going to be gone today. Do we want to still use this room or do
002you want to go to the second? Well, we have done that in the past where we've rotated buildings. I mean, it's nice to have all that stuff here, but I guess for board goals, we aren't broadcasting them. So we could go to one of the other buildings if we want. I don't have a suggestion. I mean, we've done that at the library, we've done different things like that in the past. We can go here. It's one less thing. All right, so tentatively we'll set it for... You approve it later. I don't. You approve the meeting schedule. It's just agreed to a time now. And it'll be posted as a meeting to establish board rules. There's no formal agenda, no action necessarily. And then once those goals are developed, we can approve them in July. If
003you get them done that night. So the posting would be reflecting a different approach, which is what we want to do. Does the same time work? You want to go 530? I like consistency, personally, in case anyone. All right. So 515 on the 24th. We'll do our board goals. That was easy. Thank you. Next is the policy 528.1, staff communication with students. Yes, so as I mentioned in your board update, this is a new policy based off of the WASB draft for the benefit of Jess Milky. The school district works with or purchases a service from the Wisconsin Association of School Boards that provides draft policies for boards to review and update and incorporate as their own school district policy. The district still has unilateral authority to make modifications to those policies as they see
004fit, which as they're put together to review. But they're also, through that process, they are evaluated and Written in such a manner that would legally compliant with respect to what Wisconsin state statutes are federal guidelines or statutes with respect to policy So it's not as the districts don't have to use the service They can WSB provides one on the old as another one that districts in Wisconsin use The other option is that people kind of pull policies from other school districts that are publicly available meld them together to make their own kind of thing. So there's nothing that's, there's no requirement around how you develop policy, but there are in many cases state statutes that are new, as is in this case, and part of the statute requires school districts to develop policy. So that's
005where this 528.1 comes from, staff communication with students. So that was as a result of a recently approved Law that was signed into the act of the Senate law by Governor Evers with respect to how school staff members including volunteers communicate with students You've heard some things likely in the news about grooming and those sorts of behaviors. So Wisconsin is among many states that are adopting similar approaches and I thought I heard something similar happening in Minnesota too. So it's nothing that is It doesn't really change our practice in any way, shape, or form. One of the requirements is that we have a policy. It has to be explicit to staff and students. It has to outline what the potential consequences are for violating the policy, which, of course, is discipline up to and including
006termination. And it has to be, our staff members have to be made aware of it. Oh, and we have to have training. So when the policy is approved, Likely there will be updates to the handbook because you'll see a staff handbook update coming forward and there will be a couple of different things that are updated this year. And we will either include reference to this policy with a link or the policy in its entirety. I haven't determined yet what that's going to look like. But adding a new section to the staff handle to incorporate that. And then our principals will have conversations with staff members in their opening staff meetings to talk about the policy and what it means. And then, like I said, we have to have training. And as it stands, the DPI
007is in the process of developing that training. So it will just be incorporated into our opening in-service sort of activities. where staff members do mandatory child abuse reporting and bloodborne pathogens and all the other trains that we have to do. So we simply incorporate it into that and track in that capacity. As I said, we already have guidelines and directives that are out there with respect to how staff communicate with students and what the expectations are. This policy ensures that we're compliant with the new legislation. So it would be in addition to or over and above that. So is there any other, so we didn't have any of this in any policy. Like I know we communicate with, maybe it's more parents, right? The apps that the coaches use and different things. Is that directed
008towards parents more or do the kids get those too? Staff and students. Staff and students. And I'm pretty confident that there is references like in the high school handbook and other staff handbooks. And in the code with respect to what the proper communication approach would be. So there are expectations out there. The difference is or the caveat of this is that this policy makes sure that we're compliant with the new legislation. In reality, I don't see this as being any sort of change in behavior for any staff member. This isn't going to cause us to really do anything differently. It simply clarifies that there's certain things that we think, or we're telling you you can't do. They're explicitly spelled out and use district-approved sort of communication. Because what ends up happening, particularly with like coaching
009in, you know, youth sports or sports in general or theater or... You know not typically classroom based. It's not typically classroom based. It's usually extra and co-curricular based where it's like okay, we have a schedule change or a You know, I don't know. Well, storms coming in and people are traveling three hours to get to Ashland to watch a game. And once we get up there, it's canceled. How do I get word out? So it's not atypical in the past that somebody might have personal contact information for students and parents and use like Snapchat or Facebook Messenger or something like that. We've asked staff to steer away from that, but I'm saying in the past. So several years ago, it wasn't atypical for that sort of communication to take place. I don't say that that's
010inappropriate, right? Because you're saying, hey, the game's canceled. What this does is clarify the lines along what that communications will look like. You're correct, the athletic department did say, okay coaches, we would like you to use this app for communication. And that was more around accountability and record keeping so that we have admin and so forth have access to what communications are out there and what's going on. And it ensures that staff members aren't potentially communicating via other means with. with students where you're not aware of what might or might not be going on. So this isn't in response to anything that we think is inappropriate. It's in response to new legislation we're required to create the policy. So just to understand, so what I'm hearing is that right now how we're operating is not
011going to change. We're just establishing this framework. So like, I understand by example, so like next week with baseball, let's say down at State, a meet up time. Yeah, so now all of the coaches are using, is it called Teams? SportsU. SportsU. So they'll have SportsU as their communication interface. But if they didn't use that, texting is fine? Yes. So there are, the policy doesn't explicitly say staff members, these are the only mechanisms you can use to communicate. But what it does is direct staff to use, you know, approved or recommended methods of communication. It doesn't preclude folks from communicating, and there's not consequences for saying, you know, I'm in a crisis circumstance, so I'm going to send a text to this group of people that I have to say games canceled, right? It establishes
012parameters around what appropriate communication is, and that might... Time frame and you know anything so if you read through it word for word it does give some examples of And what it really comes down to is don't talk to kids on things that are not, you know, trackable or reproducible and that are outside of your work hours or requirements. You know, it's common sense sort of things, which is why when I say I don't anticipate any changes among staff, there really won't be. I mean, if you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. There is also an explanation in there because we do live in a small community where it doesn't include when you're communicating with a very close family friend or a relative. Those are different and have a card for that because there's
013going to be circumstances where a coach might coach their own kid or might coach... whatever, the neighbor kid who's basically part of your family, you know what I'm saying. So there's elements in the policy development that it's not incredibly restrictive, but it does meet the statutory guidelines that we have to meet. Yes. Correct. That makes sense. Okay. So, yeah, so I mean, we'd be very frank. Like, would a staff member be in trouble for texting kids and saying, hey, this is canceled? No. But what we'd likely do is go, look, for your own benefit, use the sports U app or use this interface instead for record keeping and accountability and our need to keep track of records in that regard and ensure that we have, you know, knowledge of what's going on. Which is for
014their own sake, too, protection for them. Correct. So I just fairly certain I know the answer to this is staff communications with students, the booster balls, the traveling teams, all that kind of stuff. That doesn't pertain to this. This is all volunteers typically. Well, this does pertain to volunteers associated with the school district, yes. So if they're a district-approved volunteer or a staff member, this information applies. So should those coaches that are doing those be notified of this to them? To me, the answer to that is yes. Do they use 4-2 for the booster clubs or for other? Well in that regard that aspect of ensuring that we have so those wouldn't be considered necessarily student records because it's not a school district adjacent, it's not a school district program as it were. What it
015would be is that they have knowledge of what appropriate communications with school-aged kids looks like and that's truly the focus of the policy not the mechanism in which you communicate. Does that make sense? Yeah. So it's about staff being in volunteers being aware of the policy and I would think it does apply. Yes So would they be required to use a specific interface? The answer that question is no. Any other questions? Hearing none we'll move on to the next one which is the use of security cameras in electronic monitoring equipment. Yeah, so this policy is also as a result of new legislation and we're obligated to have policy that's explicit about the use of security cameras and electronic monitoring equipment on school buses in particular. Okay? Everybody that's sitting here tonight and probably anybody that's
016listening or any student that we've had for the last many years, 20 plus, knows that we have surveillance cameras in pretty much all of our facilities. We have more probably than we did 10, 15 years ago, but this isn't a new development. And so in order to be compliant with the new state statute we needed explicit language with respect to surveillance on school buses. Now what's a little bit ironic is that that's the only location in which legal recommendation would be that we are allowed to capture audio. And this is all couched in student privacy and expectation of privacy. And the idea that we're capturing visual images is something that people are keenly aware of. I mean, you're pretty much recorded almost anywhere you go now. But the recommendation so far, legally speaking, is that
017you do not capture audio in those circumstances because of the expectation of privacy as well as multiple other potentially unlitigated things with respect to what free speech and so forth and so on. So across the board, all of our cameras capture video only. with the exception of school buses because the new statute does say that audio and or video recording is allowed on school buses and that's the only area in which it's allowed. The question that I asked and you're probably thinking too is, well haven't we had cameras on school buses for a long time? And the answer to that question is yes we have, but there just hasn't been Wisconsin state law that backs up to the degree this law does the fact that they are there and how they can be used. So
018it provides clarity or some more clarity around that. Why did I select this 731.3 that encumbers all surveillance and security use throughout the district? Upon review of policy, once again, cameras are referenced, but we didn't have a standalone that I could find. We didn't have a standalone policy with respect to security cameras and surveillance, and so that incorporates all of the security cameras and surveillance that we do, plus has information on the new updated... bus expectation, right? The other thing that we have to do, our admin team was supposed to meet today but that got changed to tomorrow because of some schedule issues so I haven't even had a chance to talk with our principals about it, but the other thing we have to do is post on the buses that they are being video
019and potentially audio recorded and we have to make parents aware of the policy, which of course it will be in the opening newsletter with the whatever. dozens of other policies and information that we share so we will do our notification of of parents and and we'll have the postings on the buses so those are also requirements that we're obligated to do but again here it's not really changing anything the backdrop is is the having the policy and being aligned with state statutes that that's the expectation so we have to develop policy in that regard and taking step by step and get those things taken care of i'm looking at the records management part of the mba It really doesn't say how long. It doesn't specify that we have to have it for 30 days. It's
020kind of up to the district. Yes, it's going to be based on what we're able to accommodate. So there's no statutory guideline about how long a district is to maintain video or audio records. The rub is going to be we want to keep it long enough to know that we can go back to determine if in fact something happened, right? But not so long as we are spending gobs and gobs of cash on storage because of course we're capturing tons of video now all the time. Many, all school districts are. Cities are. You know, everybody is basically. And if you kept all of our data for 30 days, we would have to probably have, I don't know, Brian Craig's not here, but we'd have to have more cloud storage and more servers and all of
021this nonsense. And that's just not a bar that's been established for school districts, largely because of the cost. When I connected with Brian on it, I want to say we keep like two weeks ish of information But that may be different based upon location and how much the camera is going to be used and so we do have a limit like if someone's like well that happened in September and now it's December we don't have, we're not going to have the data. Right? So, but we want to ensure that it's not overwritten in like 24 hours. You know what I mean? So try to find that happy medium in terms of data storage. Another thing that's interesting is that, and this policy does get into that with respect to maintenance of records, is if it's
022used in an investigation, it has to be then maintained as a student record. So then it falls under a different retention schedule than just your standard accumulated video data. So let's say there was an issue on bus two and we pull a three-minute video of a kid engaging in some kind of conduct. That video has to be then saved as a student record. And then it's not technically attached to the kid, but in your mind you can think of it as like, I've got a VHS tape and it's gonna go in that student's file or be attached to that student as a student record and follow the same retention schedule there. That's not how we do it because it's 2026, it's kept in a folder, but then it is a record and we would have
023to have access to it for whatever the... expectation is. And I say that because there's different record expectations, whether it's a student record, considered part of a personnel file, I mean, because there'd be multiple reasons why you might have access to the video. So, just a little tidbit of knowledge for you. Really related to the policy, does each bus have a DVR? I don't understand how it works. I don't know what, if it has a camera and it takes video and audio, it does not save for longer than two weeks, I don't think. I don't have the exact number, but it's so intensive for space that it just overwrites. And for buses, I think, because of the camera, I think it's a shorter time period. Yes, for buses it's much shorter because it just doesn't
024have the space. Do either of you guys know how it starts? Because I'm not sure. If we need to review video, we have to get it pulled and sent to us. Oh, from the bus? No, yeah, so Deb just... Are they pulling an SD card off of the camera, or is it automatically... That I don't know. I don't know how Deb... Deb is the queen of that, so I don't know. There's basically two different interfaces that I've seen. One interface is that each camera has an SD card that stores a certain amount of data. You have to physically pull that card off and stick it in a reader and then import it into a program. Or there's also cameras that automatically dump their data into a program. I don't think it automatically dumps it in
025because otherwise I wouldn't be able to access it. I always have to call Deb to pull it. Yeah. And since we say pull it, I think it's probably the SD card thing. I can check if you guys want to know. I'm just curious. Yeah. What does technology say? Oh, yeah. Well, not much up there. Sorry. Any other questions? It's continuous. Video it's not randomized like were they ever So it's not from my understanding it's not necessarily 100% surveillance 100% of the time because like there's cameras that will sit idle and not turn on until there's movement On the buses. I think it's on when you're driving Yeah, and so some cameras like the one in the high school middle school Commons is probably recording possible And when you go and look at a recording You'll
026see it's like black and then there'll be an area where you can see there's movement so you can you know at least refine This back in the old days. Yeah, you captured everything you just sat there And so you'd have to sit and watch all of you for you know, you can speed it up But even if you're looking through a day's worth of data that takes a long time So there are some trips that probably ticks tips and techniques that you can use now that make life a little bit easier. And frankly, when we get to a point for revamping or updating the security, surveillance and so forth, which arguably we're going to have to do in the foreseeable future, not tomorrow, but within probably the next five years. So here's, it's set up
027such that with AI incorporation, it's incredible. So like you can say, You can tell the program, like, find the kid in the red jacket, and then boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and pull the kid in the red jacket throughout the entire day, and just clips of that kid. You can say, like... Law enforcement has the ability to use AI to redact faces, whereas they used to have to go kind of frame by frame. Anytime they had a move, they'd have to redo the video and cover it again. As you can see, like on the news or other surveillance footage where people are blurred or blacked out, it's much easier to do those sorts of things now than it ever used to be. So there will be some different iterations, but generally now we're pretty... We're
028fairly basic. We've beefed up the system to a degree, found with Josh Tyler, like, where holes are where we could use additional surveillance, and so we've made some updates and some modifications, but it's pretty, it's fairly basic. And I think for the benefit of the board and the benefit of anybody that's paying attention, I would be remiss if I did not mention people are not allowed to have access to the video at all. So if a parent has a student that's involved in something, they can come in and view the video, but they cannot have a copy. The only way that we can turn over a copy by law is if you get a subpoena or a court order to turn over a video. So that's very clear. The reason being is that I'm going
029to say probably 100% and 99.99% of videos have other people's kids in them. And those are considered pupil records once you pull that and review a certain incident. And it's typically not just Craig sitting there doing something. And if it was, then that's a different story. There's one student, but that's very rare. And so that's why it's not accessible to anybody that requests it. But parents can ask to view, and we always let parents view a video if they are making that request. But they can't have a copy. of having cameras in the classroom, are we? No, there's no cameras in classrooms. In common areas, hallways, buses, as I mentioned. No, no, of course not bathrooms. Child care classrooms. Child care. There are districts, I'm not sure about Wisconsin, but I just heard the other
030day that there was surveillance cameras in classrooms, which if we get to that point, it's going to be a dark day, to be honest with you. Any other questions or comments? All right, we'll move on to the OT-PT contract that's in our package. Yep, so you see this every year. It's the same OT-PT contract that we've had for a very long time at the St. Croix Regional Medical Center for the benefit of Jess and... and Dawn perhaps. We contract out for occupational therapy and some of our physical therapy. Working with St. Croix Regional has been a good relationship. It's been Lisa... Shebo, thank you. I couldn't think of her last name. She actually went to OT school with my wife. there was a connection there from way back in the day but she's been the
031ot here and pt i think is is much less used but we have some ability to access their pt services as well as that's called for ieps this circumstance is the only other option really is to employ our own occupational therapist and i don't believe it's a full-time sort of contract and trying to find an ot that's less than full-time or for you know 50,000 bucks a year in the case may be is going to be next to impossible. So it's a decent relationship and I would recommend we approve it. Did the per hour rates, did they increase from the last time we had a contract? I think so. I don't know if they did, yes. I'm not certain what that total difference is. What we're being billed for is always going to be the
032employee's total package compensation and then some administrative costs. I don't know what percentage it went up. I didn't connect with Shelly on what the increase was. But typically that's going to be encumbered in like a salary or a wage adjustment. So it's not atypical that's going to be like 3 to 5% increase on an annual basis. We paid for that one person's full-time... No, we paid for the hours that we get. Just for hours. Yep. Hours that is. I'm assuming, you know, if it's PT, that's one thing, right? That's usually injury related or something. But OT, are those services kind of consistent throughout the year? They are, yeah. And so I want to say that Lisa's probably a day a week, maybe two. She may come two days a week, but it's not for the
033full day each time. And it does vary depending on what's in people's IEPs. So some years a little less, some years a little more. We almost never use the PT, almost never. And that's the other thing that's nice about having it be a contracted service is the fact that we would be inconsistent. So we might have a 60% this year and 30% two years later. And it's always the same OT. It has been. But that's not guaranteed. So we're just talking that it's... Lisa has great relationships with staff and kids. She does a nice job. And having her around for now 20 years, that's a definite asset. But that doesn't mean that it has to be her now. That's it. Let's start with the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
034United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Roll call. Matt Bryce. Tashina Rager. Here. Don Mielke. Here. Jessica Mielke. Here. Brent McCurdy. Here. All right. Jessica, would you mind reading the mission statement and the rules of the meeting? Yeah. Our mission statement is the mission of the school district of St. Gret falls is to provide a supportive student-centered learning environment that cultivates character fosters academic excellence and embraces diversity The board meeting rules are focus on the mission vision statements of the district, come prepared, be respectful of others and open accepting of ideas, actively participate, avoid side conversations, and remember board meetings are open forum. Thank you, Jessica. We'll move on to principal comments, and we'll start with you, Mr. Law.
035Our school year wrapped up with a lot of fun. Last couple of days, we had community service in the morning on Thursday, and then Danny Hutton and Frankie Torres put together just kind of a wild carnival atmosphere for the afternoon. A lot of fun. They did a heck of a lot of work in organizing that stuff. I will say the dunk tank water was real, real cold. It was fun. It was real, real cold. Actually, how many times did you get dunked? Oh, I lost track. It was a lot. Kids represented us well at Wild Mountain the next day. No snafu's or issues there. We always get compliments about our students out in public. Never have to worry about any kind of issues when our kids are out and about and going places. And then
036we started summer school this week. So middle school A-Wing is full of classes and fun activities. Great start to the summer and off and running. Thank you. Ms. Platt. Well, we are also off to a good start with summer school. We have about 138 kids registered, though the number that show up on any given day is... Can be plus or minus up to 20 kids But really that number hundred three days 64% of regular school year kids. That's pretty amazing that they come Tons of fun. Thanks to the star foundation. We have The bug guy came today and kids got the whole cockroaches and millipedes. It was really really really cool And we have a snake guy coming. Do you guys want to come to summer school? I can see Dawn. I heard about the
037tarantula today. Yeah. Your kids loved it. She loves it. A snake guy coming, a zoo guy coming, a magician coming, 4-H is coming. We have a cartoonist. Just all kinds of fun stuff. So we do, you know, hardcore reading and math, but tons of fun, too. Nurse Holly and I are working on a plan to ensure that all staff is CPR certified and I think we got it nailed down today and we're excited to get that rolled out. Shelly trained nine of our elementary school teachers and six Little Saints teachers in non-violent crisis intervention which offers teachers skills to de-escalate when kids are having meltdowns or losing their cool and also shows teachers. how to safely support kids if they're in danger of hurting themselves with physical restraints that are safe and appropriate for the
038grade level. New kindergarten playground is in and they mulched it today so we're going to plan it tomorrow and the new used bus will be delivered on Monday. The playground that's on the west side, right? No. No more west. If you go, yes. Towards the big hill. To the home. Towards the room. The one out by Fokesteads. That's how we do directions. Yeah. Fokesteads House. Oh, sure. Yeah. I was wondering when it was going to open because we were there the other night and it was taped. I know, but it's so exciting. Do I remove the tape? No, you do not. I'm hoping we get to play in it tomorrow. Mr. Wells. Summer school offerings in the high school, pretty simple. We've got a government class, an online government class. It's got about 30 kids
039in it. And then we've got about 10 kids that are here for credit remediation. Obviously in the high school world you have to earn your credits to earn your diploma. And if a kid falls behind or fails a class, they can come and enjoy three weeks of summer school. Have you thought about bringing in the bug guy? It would be so much more exciting. It might be a motivator. It could draw some more people in. It could. I don't know if we want more people in for credit remediation. Tell them if they don't do their work, you will bring the bug guy in. They went and enjoyed it for real. But weight room, we got over 130 kids signed up for weight room this summer, so that facility is being used. often and it's such
040a busy place and such a great area. Phenomenal. Wonderful to see. Ms. Baumann, Ms. Imhoff and Ms. Eisenman will be taking 22 students on their educational tour this summer to Panama. So they'll be taking off on the 16th and back on the 23rd. So wish them luck and it should be a blast. It'll be a little hotter down there than here. Warm and steamy. Update on athletics as we end the school year track. Track girls had their 4x200 meter relay placed sixth and their 4x100 placed seventh. So one of the two teams got to stand on the podium. Top six place getters get to stand on the podium and receive their medals. At that level, it's a goal to make podium versus win. It's pretty tough to win. So making podium is a pretty important
041thing, so that's cool. And then baseball team, as we've talked about, undefeated conference champs, regional champs, sectional champs as of yesterday, and heading to state next week. So two games left in their checklist of goals. Yeah, it's pretty good. We've got a lot of success. That way we're going to have something new. There's no doubt about it. Is that just high school kids or does that include some middle school age kids too? Both. I mean the number that you're talking about. Yeah, it includes some middle school as well. Thank you. So there's still no deal on the surplus. Last meeting I reported to you that I wasn't clear on why, because there was agreement from both sides of the aisle. But it failed to pass. And the most recent thing that I heard is that
042it was too expensive for some of our elected officials' tastes. And there's a possibility that they may still get some action on that potential surplus deal. In other news that's not related to the capital, but it's going to be, I'd say, capital adjacent, is that John Bales, I think it's been nine or ten years, he's been the executive director of Wausda, which is my professional organization, is retiring. And now Damon LaCroix is going to be replacing him as the Wausda executive director, effective July 1st. And Damian was a superintendent for many years at the Howard-Slawico School District, so just a suburb of Green Bay, as it were. So that'll be an interesting change as that leadership has been the same for probably 10 years, I think. And our principal's already mentioned summer school started, so
043it's been a lot of fun around here. It's from around 8 o'clock until shortly after noon, so you can mess with some kids and there's some fun stuff going on. Bowling and fishing and remediation, of course, which is fun. But, yeah, so things are going well. I can't believe it's June 10th. And when Chris opened and said, yep, we just wrapped up the school year, I'm like, God, this seems like so long ago. And it was, I mean, a week and a half or so. But the end of the school year was great. Those days were a lot of fun. And the kids, of course, did an outstanding job. It's a good place to be. Very good. All right. Next, the board representation. Or the student, if you don't have one. But so I didn't
044go to the CESA meeting last Monday or a week ago Monday. It's basically, you know, to kind of do the advertisement for what CESA is and what they do and the services that they offer, which we see a copy of every year when we approve that contract. If anybody's interested, we did get the annual report for 2026, some other information about Head Start. They kind of talked to us about that and what they kind of do. And then the Most of the meeting was spent on, you know, it's not the one where they bring in guest speakers or anything. It's just business type stuff. We have different clusters throughout C-City 11, which goes from, what, up to Ashland, down to Prescott or something like that. Yeah, not as far up as Ashland because there's C-City
04512. So they end Grantsburg-ish, maybe, as far north as it goes. Is Webster above Grantsburg? Is Webster in there? The new Webster siren? I think that's the northern end. And then it does go all the way down to Duran, actually. Frederick, what does that say? That's what I'm saying. Webster. Webster's the northernmost district. Okay. So we want to look at that stuff. It's very small. So the cluster piece was, you know, so we have representation within the clusters. We're in Cluster 1, which is Amory, Clayton, Clear Lake, Frederick, Locke, Osceola, St. Croix, and Unity. Fortunately, we have Unity and Osceola in our clusters because they always want to be on the... governing board so we don't really have to worry about getting nominated or anything like that. There was a couple of elections for who
046was going to go on. One was for the at-large bid and then the other for one of the cluster four, I think, yeah, with Prescott. bring value so they have to vote on who's going to be that representation and then the other piece is if something happens right it's a three-year term if the person drops off the school board uh it's up to the district to either fill that position or if they don't want to like that we have a ring i think st corey maybe we're number one if something happens you know we would be the first one up for that option to do that moving forward. They just, every other year, every year they move it. Like, you know, if you were one, you'd go to six, you know, vice versa. And the
047fourth year, you're back out. So, not a whole lot, but yeah, definitely. It's always good to go talk to the other board members and stuff and sit with your plus four and see how things are going. And I did learn that Deb Peterson has been doing this for 42 years. That's a long time. Yep. All right, we'll move on. Why did anybody else attend any trainings online? We don't have any public here, no presentation or awards. So we'll go on to the consent agenda. So I'll look for a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll make the motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. We'll have a motion by Don. I'll second. Second by Jessica. Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. We're going to move down to
048curriculum and policy. And we're looking at the 2026-2027 board meeting schedule, which we talked about last meeting. Yep. Pretty much the same as this year. Yeah, except for the little board reorganization. I'll take a motion to approve that. I'll go ahead and make that motion to approve the 2026-27 board meeting schedule. Next we have a motion by Tichina. Second. Second by Dom. Any further discussion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. Next is a vote on the OT-PT service contract for the 2026-27 school year, which is what we just reviewed. I'll take a motion for that. I will make a motion to approve the OT PT services contract for the 2026-2027 school year. I'll make a motion by Jess. I'll second. Second by Tashina. Any further discussion? Do we have to roll
049call that? No, we probably can. Roll call vote. Matt Brace. Tashina Rager. Yes. Don Mielke. Yes. Jessica Mielke. Yes. Brett McCurdy. Yes. That was approved. We don't have any announcements or anything. Alright, upcoming events. We decided earlier in the meeting, in the committee meeting, that we would have our board goal development meeting on the 24th. And then our next scheduled meeting will be July 8th here. So then, if needed, we'll have a second meeting in July. Yeah, we got the odd coming up. July, I'm sure Marie is once again excited for that. She's always talking about how she looks forward to it. She's got a countdown calendar. It's like Christmas. All right, Jess, would you please review the rules of the meeting? Yes. So we focus on the mission of the district we came prepared
050we were respectful of others and Open accepting of ideas we actively participated we avoided side conversations I say the last one remember board meetings are open forum I'll take a motion to adjourn to executive closed session for the section 19.851 F of Wisconsin Statutes. I'll make that motion to adjourn to executive closed session. Motion by Tashina. I'll second. Second by Don. Any further discussion? Roll call vote. I'm embraced. Tashina Rager. Yes. Don Mielke. Yes. Jessica Mielke. Yes. Brett McCurdy. Yes. We are in the closed session.
