001All right. Okay. I'd like to call to order tonight's uh Burlington Area School District Board of Education meeting to order at 6:31 p.m. First thing is if we can go ahead and stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, please. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. Next up is roll call. So Aaron, if you could help us out with that, please. >> Kate here. >> Roseanne >> here. Paul >> Taylor >> here. >> Marlo >> here. >> Peter >> here. >> Noah >> here. >> Okay. And um just for the record, Paul is um at home sick and Kate also is feeling under the weather but is joining us
002over the phone. Uh next up is citizen comments. District citizens are allowed to comment for up to three minutes. Do we have any comments? We do not. Next up is no. Next up is reports. Uh first up is board members report on workshops or meetings attended and we'll turn it over to Rosanne. >> Yeah, last Friday and Saturday this last one I attended some meetings in Madison and um there it's the board of directors for the state and I'm the head of region 13 which is kind of fun. I includes Burlington, my favorite district, you know, school board of course, but it also includes Jainsville, Kenosha, Rine. So I represent a lot of different I think there are 20ome school districts. So it's a lot of responsibility but I like it. So we got there
003and greeted each other. We're all good friends now because we got to know each other. And the first thing they did was a personality compass and I wish that we could try that sometime. You're a north,sou, east or west person and you read the you probably done some of you have probably done it but you read the um characteristics of a personality and you choose which one you're closest to and then you get together with people that thought the same way you did and we discussed it and it all based on what what of our traits would make us a better school board member and be better with kids. And boy, we had some some people came up with some really good ideas. We had a lot of fun doing that and learned a lot.
004Um, it kind of had you have to think about the essence of your personality and just how you can use that essence to work with kids and work with other people and work with boards and so forth. Very very well done. It was conducted by two of the members of the staff up there. And then we talked about all the different services that are offered by the WSSB. And right now a lot of them are searching for superintendents. So don't think you're going anywhere, Joe, because they they are really searching. There are a lot of them out there and so many of them they were talking that they only can keep a superintendent for a year >> and you know in a year you hardly I think hardly get used to the s you know
005to the district but that's happening and we also talked a little bit of business honor role which Furlington has um and uh and then a lot about the convention. and I hope we all make it to the convention because boy they're going to be some excellent speakers and even for the breakfast and lunch but especially the main speakers. Um and then we talked about WRS and I think this week the Senate is voting on whether retired people can come back and teach and not lose their retirement >> and districts need that even if it's temporary. We need people that are retired to come back if we can't get anybody. I mean they're, you know, and they obviously did a pretty good job. So, um, if you could all reach out to your senators, I think
006it's going to happen this week sometime and today's Monday, so probably not till Wednesday or Thursday, but if you want to reach out to the any of your senators, do that. And uh, because, you know, the more they hear, the more they'll think about it. And then a lot has been talked about consolidation. We don't have to worry about that in Burlington, but a lot of the small schools do. they're not making it just this, you know, the attendance is going down and the schools are getting smaller and they need to consolidate, but again that could mean a long drive for the kids and so forth. So that was discussed and then they talked about testing and a lot of people think we're testing the kids to death, but a problem in a lot of
007districts is that we are testing the kids but not in their native language. M >> so they're not going to do well if they speak Spanish or French or something and then we do it in English. So they're they've been talking about that. Also act 20 >> that gives us the big picture and I think maybe we wouldn't hurt us to just review a little bit sometime of act 20 and what what it involves. Uh the regional meeting will be here in Burlington on the 23rd. I'm coming back from vacation to be there. It should be nice. Um the theme is they can't learn if they're not there. So the special workshop before will be all on truency and how to get kids excited about coming to school and some are even thinking about because
008we have people that live way up north from Madison alone it can be six hours maybe getting some buses to come to the convention from there working on that. talked a little about teched and the great things they're doing. And I love to brag on Burlington because boy, we certainly have a good tech um policies and so forth. And also they said, "How many of you send stories real often to newspapers? Always include a picture." Said 99% of them will get in if there's a picture. They will not if there's not. So always include a picture. I thought that was interesting. So coming up would be the superintendent which you'll be attending. uh sub superintendent thing and we also talked on vouchers but the whole focus of this group is what's best for kids and
009I like that. So thank you. >> All right. Excellent. Um I'll just say as a side comment Jill is staying here and not going anywhere. So um perfect segue. Next up is the superintendent report. So thank you Jill. I don't want to speak incorrectly, but I I thought it was over a hundred new superintendents this year across the state. That's that's a lot. >> Yeah. All right. So, yes, superintendent report. So, there's a few things that I want to review that relate to this summer and then kind of going into the start of the school year. As you know, we're entering week two now of the start of the school year. So, we made it through week one. That's kind of a big deal because there was a lot of staggered starts and uh acclimating
010to school and getting on the bus, right? Like a lot of things to work out usually within the first week of school and we made it. It's always a success when our admin team we all text each other at the end and like woo week one done, right? So that was great. It's so good to see staff and students back in the buildings. Um, item number one here that I wanted to just review though is in relation to BHS has our HOSA team. Remember that's that new group. Don't ask me what the letters stand for. Um, but this is that um health services uh students who want to go into health career pathway and um it's it's a it's a club that is really uh recognized at the state and national level. So this summer
011we had Liam Piccolo, Ryan Demoon, Brandon Piccolo, and Cody Nelson who are all students at BHS that represented at the HOSA International Leadership Conference that was in Nashville. And they were joined by over 14,000 students worldwide. They competed, attended workshops, and connected with future healthc care leaders all in the first official year of the HOSA uh chapter. So really cool that they um engaged in that. Then additionally, this is also in alignment with HOSA. From July 28th to August 1st, four BHS HOSA members attended the Moridge uh Institute of Research summer science camp that was chaproned by Mr. Kelly. Students experienced college life, attended lectures, and explored advanced labs. They also were able to in engage in testing for GMOs, studying caffeine effects on hard cells cells and using high-tech tools like electron microscopes and
012gel electrophoresis. What is that Noah? >> It's like a a way that you can like separate like strands of DNA or different like molecules because like based on the size they move through the gel >> slower or faster. Yeah. Hm. Pretty cool. >> Yeah. >> Well, our students got to do that. Isn't that pretty cool? That's an awesome experience for our hostess students this summer. So, pretty cool stuff happening after just one year of that club starting at BHS. Additionally, this summer, our FFA was um always doing something over the summer. They're kind of a yearround club. um from June 9th to the 12th. They were part of the Future Farmers of America and had a great time and a worthwhile experience at the Wisconsin State FFA Convention and also at the Expo Center in
013Madison, which is led by advisor Troy Everson. And when it comes to athletics, this is kind of something cool that happened this summer as well. In baseball, there was the second annual senior showcase that was held held at the historic Simmons Field in Kenosha. Does that Has anyone been there? No, it's historic everybody. You have. Okay. So, it's cool field and uh it's in Kenosha. It took place this summer where there were students from the class of 2025 that were picked uh within Rine in Kenosha County that were selected to play. Three of our seniors, Carter, um, Bowmeister, Weston Caris, and Jack Seagodall, Becky's son, were selected, uh, as was coach Scott Strowy to be the coach for the Rine All-Star team. It was a really great event, and Carter Bowmeister, who pitched two shout
014shutout innings, was also selected as the games MVP. So kudos to the the students and to uh coach Saudi for being able to engage in that this summer. Pretty cool. Additionally, just wanted to focus on sharing what's all underway uh now that the ski school year is here. So these are all the fall sports that we have going on right now. So at at BHS we have cheer, dance, football, girls swim, girls golf, girls tennis, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls volleyball, boys soccer, all taking place at the high school. And then also at Carter, we have boys and girls cross country and girls basketball taking place right now in uh the health services department. Uh just so you're aware, this is kind of cool. uh director of health services Jill Dreger is
015now a certified CPR instructor. As you know, over time, we've tried to have more and more of our staff uh be able to do the internal training ourselves. It really saves us a lot of money, but also allows for a lot more flexibility when our own staff can engage in the trainings. So, she is now a certified CPR instructor and is able to offer more CPR certification classes for staff throughout the year. Additionally, this month, health services provided annual training for all of our staff. And when it comes to EpiPens, stop the bleed, bloodborne pathogens, and sudden cardiac arrest along with a new training on Nephi and Narcan. We also had a guest speaker during our inservice, George Moore, who highlighted the importance of having Narcan available at all of our schools. When it comes
016to pupil services, we did have our second annual Hispanic family engagement night that took place at Carter Middle School. This is for our m multilingual learner team and students and families to be able to have a celebration of back to school for all of our Spanish-sp speakaking families. It was an evening full of food, fun, and community connections. families received dental kits, backpacks, and access to local resources like books and medical contacts. We want to thank all the businesses and partners that supported the event and made it possible. Additionally, we really want to give a kudos and shout out to our bilingual family engagement coordin coordinator, Diana Sheay, as she did a great job putting it all together and leading the event. when it comes to teaching and learning and simply welcoming all of our
017staff back. We did welcome all staff back in the last week of August. We had four days of inservice with everyone um where staff engaged in district in school trainings, student and family open houses and engaged in collaborative time together in order to prepare for the start of the school year. We also held what I have coined our third annual demon Olympics where staff have engaged in fun activities in in teams. That was a competitive uh activity uh to remind all of us that though we really hold high expectations to all of our staff and students. We also believe it is super important to have fun along the way. So these are some pictures from the Demon Olympics during inservice. Overall, it was a really great week and staff were able to ensure that they
018were ready to meet all of their new students come the start of the the school year. Um, additionally, this week is now the week where all students are in attendance because as I mentioned, we had stagger starts and things like that last week. So, we are in the full swing now as of today. Um, and it is really cool to see uh all the great relationships being established and learning already taking place in our schools. Last but not least is in relation to the technology department. Our technology team wrapped up the phone updates at the high school. As you know, we've been working Dave's team has been working to change over all of our phones to the new voice over IP and happy to report that all of our schools and buildings are now switched
019over to the new phone system. It's nice because it allows more friendly features. It's more reliable and it's much more stable overall for the school district. Additionally, a new PA system was also upgraded at the high school. The old one was outdated and it was also run through our old phone system. So, this too needed to have updates, which is an important component for safety and security at the high school. The 496 building, which is the gateway building next to the roundabout, um is now part of our network. The technology team also installed new switches, uh a few wireless access points and new phones so that we can uh monitor that building and be able to use it uh when we need. But we also now have uh monitoring access to all the building HVAC
020systems as well. One of our new building engineers join that joined our team also was a gateway engineer and he was one that took care of the gateway building. So, he's now um on our team here, which is which is pretty nice. And then last but not least with technology, as part of our security training, we also are in the second year of having all staff complete an email and messaging safety man uh module as part of our staff training through Vector Solutions. And we have seen an improvement in staff being more cautious when it comes to suspicious emails that come through as that is always something that is happening. Taylor just mentioned to me one that might be a good heads up to staff uh that he heard about. So that is it for
021my superintendent report. We are off and running everybody in the 2526 school year. >> Awesome. Thank you Jill. Okay. Next up is consent agenda items. This includes meeting minutes from August 11th and 25th. Bank statement and bills, appointments, resignations, retirements and terminations, donations, and policy updates for second reading. Uh just real quick, uh we had for donation highlights, we had over $2,585 worth of donations towards ESL programs, football, school supplies, and playground equipment. So, I'm looking for a motion to approve the consent agenda items as presented. >> So moved. >> Second. >> All right. All those in favor say I. >> I. I. >> Opposed. All right. Next up is items for discussion or information. So, first up is the Carter therapy dog. Mr. Breesitz will come and talk to us about Jordy. >> And
022you the mic might not be on. Steve, >> you can go home and leave the dog here. >> She actually probably will want to say hi. >> Um, hi everybody. This is >> and and just a reminder, make sure you hold the mic because in order for it to be heard on the live stream, we have to use the mics. Sorry. >> All right. Good evening. Um years ago, um Mr. Everson and I and my family picked up Jordy and Trig together on the same day. >> Um so they're half siblings and Troy Everson has been bugging me to try to get time to have Jordy trained because obviously we see the benefits of Trigg at the high school. um it just wasn't quite in our family's time frame um with busy kids and busy
023family. Um but this last year as we were close to being empty nesters, I thought it was it was time. So I spent all last year getting her trained through um the same program that Troy went through. I had a little bit of a a little bit of a struggle for the testing because the group that Troy went through went under. They they were defunct. So as far as I got, I hit a roadblock. So, I had to kind of start with a new program. So, Alliance of Therapy Dogs took over and um she just passed her test in July. Um I did share some pictures. I don't know if if they're we're able to get them or not, but um I sent those last week, but um she is >> they were they were
024in the notes to the board on Friday. >> Okay. >> One of them was community ed when I was supposed to be coaching at camp. She had the kids were supposed to be participating, but they were enjoying the presence of Jordy. And that's what I learned. It's uh there's a big difference between a service dog and a therapy dog. A therapy dog is to make the kids happy. And she's got the best demeanor to do that. Much like Trigg, 60 pounds lighter than Trigg. Trig's a lion. Uh they share the same dad and she did not get the dad's qualities. But um Nick's been more than accommodating to get ours trained because she did need some time um at school to to get trained and be observed. Um but we're excited to have her go.
025probably three to five or three to four days a week. 5 days is a lot. That's they get pretty tired. Um but probably three to four times. So the times that we were she was there and she was present. Um it was it's amazing just to have an animal present, especially at the middle school. We're excited to to have her there. So we appreciate your openness and willingness to allow this to happen. She's obviously excited. Um and we're uh we're ready to get rolling. Any questions? I just have a comment. Yeah. >> I wish that you and uh Troy would get together and plan something for the convention next year on therapy dogs because I think a lot of schools are interested in that and you could give a presentation and >> Yeah, actually that's
026what got me interested because there was somebody that called us about um they wanted to to bring their dog in and I'm like well we have a dog I can do that. So just kind of you know just I just I'm glad I took the the jump. It was a little tough to try to find uh weekly meeting, weekly trainings, but it was was well worth it. >> Awesome. >> Thank you. Any other questions for Stephen? >> Otherwise, just really wanted him to be able to bring her uh here to the board so that you knew that we had a second therapy dog meet her so that if asked you kind of understand, know what she looks like and whose whose dog it is and all that good stuff so that you hear about that.
027Thank you, Steve, for doing all the work to have >> part of our team. >> All right. Thank you again, Braz. Uh, next up is Community Education Department for a 2024 2025 recap, and that will be presented by Director Sagodall. >> Thank you, Steve. >> I didn't know I had to hang on to the microphone. >> Yep. It is It is kind of the rule there, Becky. I got All right. >> All right. So, I am Becky Seagall, the director of the community education department. I think most of you know that. Um, we are a department of two, Trisha Skyles and myself. Trisha is beginning her seventh year with the district and I am starting my 14th. Together we wear a lot of hats in our office, that's for sure. But one of our most
028rewarding, I would say, is the management of the community education department, which we refer to as CED. Um, CED offers a wide range of classes and camps. Some are just single day classes, others, um, last for several weeks. We offer to youth and adults. Uh we offer youth and adult enrichment, indoor and outdoor sports, specialized workshops. Um it's a wide variety of opportunities that are um everyone is welcome to attend. We are especially proud of our introductory classes like give it a try classes which lets participants explore brand new opportunities that they may not have access to um with a small financial commitment and a small time commitment. Um, these courses provide a chance to discover something brand new or maybe deepen an existing interest. Each year we strive to balance returning favorites and also
029find brand new classes to offer. Here is an example of some of the flyers um that have recently of classes have recently been offered. Um, flyers are created for almost everything we offer. Uh not only are they a wonderful way to advertise what we're offering, but our instructors appreciate them because they too can use them on their social media platforms for advertising. Um flyers are also posted on our Facebook page and our community website. Um Facebook, uh we started about 10 years ago, but in the last five years it has taken off. Um, it's how we spread the word on new camps. Years ago, we only um we only with before Facebook, we would we would print three booklets and we were only able to offer new classes based on when the booklets were being
030printed. Now, we have the ability if an instructor reaches out and says, "I'd like to do this within a week or two," we can have it advertised and running. So, um it's given us the ability to to truly expand our offerings. Um families love Facebook because we're really really good at posting pictures, which keeps families engaged and get to see what their kids are doing. Um I I'm very grateful for Patricia because she really um owns the Facebook page and does a great job with it. So, we strive to make class registration as user friendly and straightforward as possible. We still have our old school paper registration form. There's definitely a generation that appreciates paper still. So, those paper copies are available in our summer booklet. They're in our office. They're on our website. Um,
031and then there's also those who appreciate the simplicity of the online registration. All of our flyers have the QR code um that take you directly to the website which is on the right side there or you can you know type in our website address. But from the website you then choose the category you're interested in and find the class or camp you want add it to your shopping cart and if you're an existing member it's a couple clicks and you're paid and registered. If you're a new user or a new registrant, you obviously create an account like anything and um and sign up and you receive confirmation emails. You can opt in to receive emails that are sent 24 hours before classes as reminders. The confirmation emails give you all the information you need. It
032cuts down on a lot of phone calls to us. We try to make it as um informative as possible so so the user has what they need. Um, one of our biggest outreach um, outreaches is our 28page summer activity guide. This was our largest booklet I've had since I've been there. Um, usually they're 22 to 24 pages. This is mailed directly to all households. Um, it gets mailed about in about April. Each issue features photos, program details, and a combination of returning favorites, and brand new opportunities. Um, the booklet has become a staple in the community for sure. if it's not in their hands by beginning of April, they people are calling and emailing a lot. >> Um families families wait for the booklet to come out to plan their summer for sure. Um preparation
033begins in January. That's when I start reaching out to coaches and instructors and it takes about 8 to 10 weeks to pull this off. It's a lot of coordinating of fields and gyms and classrooms and schedules and a lot goes into it. Um, so once we finally send it to the publisher, it's a it's a really nice day. And you know what? It's a crazy when it when it's get gets published, all the mistakes you still find, but that is how it is. Um, so here are just uh a couple pictures of of classes, you know, that we've offered this summer. There's science, there's sports, there's health and fitness, bucket drumming, Lego coding, baking. um which is fun to see see all the kids and pictures are always on Facebook. So of course for I
034don't know well I don't know if you know this but summer wreck is is definitely where my heart is. Um when I came to Burlington 14 years ago my my it's where my sent my children so I could work. Um uh Summerre is available to children ages 5 through 12. We provide a healthy, interactive and fun-filled day for eight and a half hours a day. Uh each day follows a structured schedule. Um we offer activities based on age, interest level, small group, large group. And then we also set time aside for choice time where the kids can choose who they may want to play with um whether they want to do board games or you know what interests them. Cell phones are not allowed by our campers or our staff, which helps everyone stay engaged
035and present. This year, we were thrilled to see so many returning families. I felt it was a true testament to the quality of our program and the relationships we've built over the years. We also welcomed a lot of families um obviously from Burlington, but families came from Waterford, Kenosha, Genoa City, Kansasville, Union Grove, Rine. It was kind of crazy that they they came to summer recreck with their kids and I think it is just a testament to um probably the staff that we have in place. Our highest attendance was 88 kids which is a lot. Um daily averages ranged around 60 to 70 and families tell us they value the flexibility of summer wreck. Um but they most appreciate our dedicated staff who who make it a pretty special day for them. So this summer
036I had a team of 20 staff members. 13 were returning and seven were brand new. Among those 20, we brought 46 years of combined experience. So it's really great when we have staff that are so familiar with the program that I can trust wholeheartedly and then you bring in new staff um that freshen it up. And um I can honestly say this was probably the best group, the best team I have ever I've ever had. Um they all got along. It's so cool to see that kid. I had staff from LOA, Waterford, mostly Burlington, but they um bond quite quickly and it's really neat. Really, really neat. But I will tell you, at the end of the day, they're ready to go home. Um but they always show back up at 7:30 ready to go.
037So, when I'm hiring staff, there are certain characteristics I focus on. Qualities that will help ensure the experience our campers have is a special one. One of the greatest um compliments we received on the last day of summer was when a mother walked up to me and with tears in her eyes, and I'll get them told me that our male staff had been the strongest role models her son had ever had while he grew up. And uh it was it's moments like that re that reaffirm the impact of this program and the importance of the people we choose to lead it. Um, so our days are filled with creativity and fun. We're coloring, we're drawing, we're playing board games, science projects, themed weeks, competitive games. There are lots of opportunities to make new friendships. Um,
038in the middle of the summer, we took a walking trip to Dairy Queen. Uh, every camper had to line up and use their manners, please and thank you, to make their order, either a cone or a dish. Um, that was pretty cool. Uh, it was crazy to see the expressions as people drove by as we led 70 kids across the roads. I didn't breathe until we got back to the high school. That's for sure. Uh, yep. Uh, we also celebrate Lost Teeth. Uh, we have scavenger hunts, nature walks, puzzles, and Lego contests. Olympic week, STEM week. Tuesdays and Thursdays involve trips to Bushnell Park. And on Friday, we post anywhere from 100 to 200 pictures in an album on Facebook so families can see truly what their kids did all week long. So, another key
039component of community education is our pee-wee camps. And I'm not sure if you're aware, but all of the pee-wee camps that we offer to ages three through five, which are volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer, arts and crafts, dance, are also taught by community or summer rec staff. So, not only are they watching 60 or 70 kids, but they're also responsible for teaching these these little pee-wee classes. And so, that's why I have to have a really reliable staff of 20 because there are days where I have to pull six to nine staff over to teach peewes while the others are taking care of the summer wreck heads. Um, during the last last week of summer wreck, we went to the Milwaukee County Zoo. That was the first time we have ever done anything like that in
040summer. But um it was amazing. It was crazy how many or how many kids it was their first time to the zoo. And it just made me really happy that some of these kids who came to Summerre every single day and don't have the ability to go on family trips or whatever, they at least could go back to school and say they did get to the zoo over the summer. Um so that that was a pretty special day for us. So, uh, the community education department also runs a Saturday youth basketball league for boys and girls in grades one through one through six. It's a recreational league that focuses on teamwork and sportsmanship and, you know, basic fundamentals. Our intent is to provide an opportunity to learn and improve on basketball. Um, but it's especially
041for the families who may want may not have children who want to compete super competitively or travel um and want something a little bit um not quite as high price as some of the programs in town. So last year we had almost almost 200 participants in it. I'm super lucky to get 45 adult volunteers to help with this league because we couldn't run it without the the parents and the grandparents and the high schoolers that help. Um, but it's it's a pretty amazing program that runs for December through February. Um, and also most of you, I'm sure, know about Star Stuff Theater, another program I'm super proud of, formerly known as Carter Theater. Um, this program has flourished over the past decade. We Paula and I think there's probably been 3 350 kids that have
042maybe gone through the program in the last 10 years, maybe more. Um, I can't say enough about Paula, JJ, and Renee. The time and dedication and commitment they put into that program is next to none. Truly remarkable. We are so lucky to have this in our community and I still am grateful for the board for um giving us a space space at Dyer School for sure. Um let's see. So these kids um they practice you know six hours a week. They give shows in the fall and the spring. We just had um tryyous for the fall performance. I shared a couple testimonials on the screen here. I get I get families who just voluntarily email me um thank yous for offering this program for their children. Um I don't I won't read them, but if
043you want, you know, they're there for you. Um if you've never had that chance to attend, I I highly recommend you come because it's quite amazing what they can pull off of children of that age in a short amount of time. I'm I'm I'm blown away by it. So, I hope you guys can attend sometime. Brand new this year for community ed is our Burlington Youth Dance Club. Ashley Schillman approached me last spring with the idea of offering this club uh to middle schoolers to grow both as dancers and teammates. Um it's a great way for them to come into high school and um grow our high school program. There's currently 13 members in this program. They're going to be competing locally. Um it's it's a neat opportunity. And now we're offering cheer open gyms
044also um for with the same intent of growing our high school program in in cheer. So the cheer open gyms are are super flexible. Come twice a month if you want to. No big obligation, but it provides an opportunity to for families. So I um I would like to think community offers something for everyone. I love that we can provide opportunities. I'm grateful for the instructors that give their time. You know, they have jobs, they have coaching coaching commitments, family commitments, and I'm super grateful for the time they give to CED. Um, in the last year, our programs have recorded almost 2,600 participants. Obviously, some are, you know, duplicates, but um they're taking care or they're taking part in in our offerings. and we have had over $220,000 in revenue while we deliver these high
045uh quality experiences. I just feel that CD is more than just classes and camps. It's a it's a bridge between our district and the community. Thank you for having me here tonight. I probably went longer than I was supposed to. If you have any questions, please ask. >> Um just a couple comments. One, um great presentation. I think it was the best one I've seen. >> No, really. really and two um it's really evident that we have the right person in that role. So, thank you for what you do. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. >> I enjoy my role. >> Yeah. Thank you. Becky, you mentioned uh the uh the kids come from all over for the summer wreck. Are there any resident restrictions on any of the other CD? Okay. >> No, community
046is open to anybody in any surrounding communities. I get that question all the time because people see our booklet are like, "Can we come?" >> Yes. >> If someone wanted to put on a program, too, they don't need to be a Burlington resident. >> No. No. We just ask that. So, I'm careful in I get I get local businesses who ask about can they can they offer something, but you don't want to do like free advertising for them. So, you have to be careful on on what that relationship was is with them. and they have to offer it in our facilities and I do the advertising and they can't do marketing or share their their promotional materials. So, lots of conversations when it's something like that. But I will say this summer was awesome. We
047had multiple staff members that taught something. Teresa Forsuff taught a quilting class this summer for us and we had 30ome adults come to basic quilting classes and I think it was Jill because you mentioned something at an inservice inservice or something and it was like Teresa reached out. So, it's it's pretty it's pretty cool. But yeah, anybody's welcome and summer wreck is so great because a lot of other summer programs require you to sign up for in advance to get commit to three to five days and we are so flexible that you can decide that morning if you want to come or go or come, you know, so families appreciate that. >> Anything else? >> Anyone else? >> All right. Thank you again. >> Thank you, Becky. >> All right, next up is policy review.
048So, these are quite a few under first reading. Um, since Paul is not here, we'll have Jill go through it and I'm sure it'll be a lot more condensed. >> I thought you were going to go through it. >> That's That was That was the communication there. I thought you were going through that. >> No. No. >> Oh man. Um >> let me see if I can pull up board notes. Actually, if you want me to. I can do it. It's fine. Um okay, that's fine. I can do it. >> I have to pull up parents >> the Okay, so I'll just go through it real quick. Um policy 1100 district organization which was this was a revised policy. policy had been clarified in previous option language regarding consultants has been moved to a new
049policy under policy 8125 consultants and a reference to this policy is added to policy 6320 for purchasing. Next is policy 2464 advanced learning instruction for gifted and talented. This is a replacement policy replaces the existing policy to account for significant revisions. Uh, next up is policy 3214 and policy 4214. Staff gifts. Again, this is a replacement. These policies have been updated and restructured to present a more common scenario involving gifts to or from staff. >> Uh, next up is policy 3281, personal property of staff members. This was revised. The language has been added to this policy authorizing uh administration to require removal of inappropriate personal property from district premises which is good. Uh next is policy 4124 notice of reasonable assurance of employment. This was a revision. Um this language in this policy has been
050modified to be more consistent with state statute. Next uh policy 5113 open enrollment program. This is for inner district. Again a revision policy is revised to incorporate verbiage regarding requirements to review a special education students IEP to determine both space and serviceability. Next is policy 5136.01 technology resources and other electronic equipment. This is a new policy. Um, next is policy 5330, administration of med medication emergency care. This was a revision. This policy option is added pursuant to 2023 Wisconsin Act 195 effective March 2024, which permits a school to develop a plan to have available to use the use of >> bronchio. >> Thank you. And yeah, bronco dilators. Thank you diilators. >> You're That's why we have you here. Uh provided by prescription to uh the school. Uh next up is policy 5341 emergency medical
051authorization. So this one was rescended. Uh next up is policy use of tobacco and nicotine by students. This was a revision. uh policy revisions are offered in consult consultation with representatives from the American Lung Association to provide options for incorporating smoking secession programs into the student intervention process. Next is policy 5611 due process rights. This was rescended. Um this policy was rescended because its contents are already included in the a more applicable policy which is policy 5610 uh suspension and expulsion. Uh next is 57 policy 5710 student complaints. This was also rescended. The policy is rescended to avoid confusion regarding resources of student opportunities to raise concerns or complaints through the appropriate channels. Uh next is policy 6231 budget implementation. This was a revision. Policy is revised to clarify language regarding fund balance expenditures consistent
052with current practices. Next is policy 6235. Again, fund balance revision. U or did I I did that one, didn't I? Um okay, >> you're good. You're on the right one. >> All right. Uh policy was up. Yep. Okay. Uh, next is policy 6620, petty cash. This was a revision, something probably long overdue. So, thank you Jill for working on this one. Uh, policy has been updated and simplified and provides an option for petty cash for a petty cash fund limit. Next is policy 74. >> That limits $250. >> Thank you. >> Next is policy 7410 maintenance revision. Uh, technology in this policy has been updated and clarified. Uh let's see policy 7430 safety standards. Again this is a revision policy had been revised to clarify what information is required to be reported to the board.
053Recommendation for consistency with statutory requirements. Policy 7440 facility. This is a revision. Revisions to this policy clarify law enforcement contact and remove optional language recommended for clarity in application. Policy 7440.02, smart sensor and monitoring technology. This is a revision. The revision updates the title to better describe current technology and adds a definition corresponding to the same uh policy 7540.03 student technology acceptable use and safety. This was a revision. This policy has been updated to reflect new requirements by the FCC in a district's uh acceptable use policy. And then we just have a few more. So, please bear with me. those and just just all the ones that Taylor just went through are the policies that were up for revision because NEOA sends us policies on a quarterly basis saying, "Hey, you might want to update
054these policies based on uh legal uh or statutory changes that are happening across the state. So, all of those were policies in that regard. Now, Taylor's going to go over the seven that we always review. Um, andor policies that board members on the policy committee wanted us to review. Um, is that next section, okay, >> that we're going to talk about now. >> All right. First up is policy 1460, physical examination. This policy was was reviewed and language was changed to match policies 3160 and 4160, which were reviewed and updated on August 26th, 2024. Policy 1619.01, privacy protections of self-funded group healthcare plans. Policy is being adopted as a district is already self-funded for dental insurance. Policy 1619.02 privacy protections for fully insured group health plans. This policy removed dental as it is now covered
055under policy 1619.01 above. Policies 3419.01 and 4419.01. 01 privacy protections of self-funded group health plans and related benefits. These policies are being updated to reflect the district being self-funded for dental insurance. Policy 7540.04 staff technology acceptable use and safety. This was a revision. This policy has been updated to reflect new requirements by the FCC in the district's acceptable use policy. Uh policy 7540.07 7 district issued student email accounts. This was a revision. This policy is revised to include optional language regarding the use of district issued email addresses on other media accounts. Uh policy 8120 volunteers. This is a revision. Policy is revised to clarify options regarding volunteer background checks and statutory requirements to conduct background checks on board members who volunteer. >> Uh I think this is a good time to elaborate too. the policy
056um committee did think we should do background checks on all seven board members so that in the event when you're in your schools es especially with your adopt a school or something like that you're going in and you're reading with students. So technically you're coming in as a volunteer to read. So we will be conducting background checks on all seven board members just to be in compliance with that too. >> Perfect. uh policy 8305 uh information security. This was a revision. This policy revision provides cross references to related policies and includes additional language regarding limitations on public discussion of cyber security um measures. Next is policy 8395 student mental and physical health services. This was revised. The policy is revised to reflect the provision of both mental and physical health services in school. both through
057school resources. Um, let's see. Policy 8531, free and reduced meal, I'm sorry, free and reduced priced meals. This was a revision. The policy revision is provided to allow for circumstances where a district may have one or more of its schools qualify for the C program, but others that do not. Um, policy 8600, transportation. This was a revision. And the last one, uh, this policy revision clarifies transportation obligations of a student with a disability as defined in their indivi individualized education program or an IEP. And that is it. So, thank you for allowing me to do that. And additionally too when you're looking at the policies um policy for example physical examination um I had a conversation with Nora uh and then uh with Aaron in relation to this. So this covers admin there's the administrative
058section then their certified staff and then their support staff. So, we are going to try to make sure anytime that we're wanting to revise one of them, we'll be bringing all three of them at the same time so that we don't have uh where we're coming back with just one of them. Like this is a good example of that where it was like, "Oh, shoot. We forgot to update the admin ones, but we did do the um support staff and and certified staff." So, we'll try to make sure anytime that happens that we're bringing all three of them together at the same time. So that's why you might notice sometimes with the seven that there's it's not just seven because we're trying to make sure we're covering all three staff areas. >> Okay. Uh and
059again, I just want to thank you for your time spending with the committee uh a couple weeks ago when we did this. I know it was a long meeting, but we appreciated your time. >> Yeah, appreciate yours, too. That was it was it was good. It was a lot. >> It was It was fun, though. We had a good time. >> We had a good time. So, it was good. >> Uh All right. Next up is items for action. Uh, first item is Waller playground equipment. >> Kind of said that like Tom Sawyer is no, we do not want to help you paint. >> Yeah. >> Uh, next we have uh, principal Ann Phillips and PTO president Anna Abbott. >> Good evening everyone. I'm going to pop this on here. Before I do, I just
060want to give a little bit of background information. So, we had um Jess Warren had Lee Recreation part of the audit that we're doing on our facilities and our buildings buildings and grounds. Uh went to all of the schools, noticed that there is a piece at Waller that needs to be uh sunsetted. This is a really nice way to say it. Um I'm going to show you what that piece looks like. Uh what we found also is that sleeping on roofs and getting stuff thrown at you uh really does benefit. So our PTO has been able to raise um enough money and our vending our um our uh fundraising has also given us a whole bunch of money as well. So all of the uh proposals that I'm show talking to you about is all
061100% um fundraised. So it's not coming out of our budget or anything like that. It's going to be done through our PTO. Just want to make sure you know that before we even begin. But yeah, sleeping on the roof. Apparently that'll get you a couple, you know, things to play on, which is real nice. >> It was a hot day, too. >> It was a hot You drove by like time honked and yelled at you. >> You honked at me. You were like, "Let's go." >> And if any board members want to start uh sleeping on the roof to raise dollars, you are welcome to do that. We know how to do it. We've been through the process. Annie will mentor you. No problem. I got you. Whatever you want. You You're in the This
062This U um >> We can do that. >> This last time it was actually uh getting food thrown at me. >> Oh, >> food. >> Expired food from the carter cupboard. >> Yes. Thank you very It was We went to the cartridge cupboard. I was like, "Give me all of the >> stuff that's almost going to get thrown away. I'll let people throw it at me." Was pretty gross, not going to lie. But we did get like $9,000 from it, so we'll do it. Um, so as I was saying, this is the piece that we're sunsetting. I just took this this morning. So if you're familiar with Waller at all, this is the playground that's off of the kindergarten wing. So right on the corner there, that's Randolph Street that you're looking at. And then
063Market Street right in the background there. Uh, this piece, uh, not only is it the oldest piece on the Waller property, but it also has like 8 foot monkey bars. and um Jill Dreger and Jess Warren are going to be very appreciative that there aren't 8 foot monkey bars there anymore. Um so that is wonderful. Um where we're planning on putting it is actually if you're familiar with Waller and you are old school, you know that there used to be a merry ground in the kindergarten section. So it's going in this vacant space right in between here. Uh we decided to move it from this location because our goal is to get some pretend and imaginary play sets like Do you want to talk about it? >> Uh I saw it at a park in
064Kenosha and they're essentially imaginary play area that I think would be great for our elementary side uh or the younger elementary side. Uh there are facades of buildings. There's another equipment on our park that playground that looks almost it's a musical instrument. I don't think it's in the picture. H you can kind of see it. There's like bars under the swing right there. The kids will sit there and sell you wood chips all day long at recess. Um so the idea was the we're hoping that the crew over at the high school can just build these facads for us. They're essentially just the front of a house. They'll go right into the ground. We can do a storefront, a school, and a house. And the kids can imaginary play all day long. And it'll be
065much more cost-effective than playground equipment through commercial. >> Yeah, that that is for sure. And uh I talked to the other elementary principles as well. We had a meeting today and I said we were planning on looking into this. Um I know that Dyer is very interested with our 4K program there. They would love to have the same thing. So we will be talking to the ACE Academy and also the art department about wanting to make sure that they can potentially do that if they can. We would love if they can. If they can't, we'll figure it out, right, Anna? Yeah, we'll figure it out. Um, so, uh, you in your notes have the proposal from Lee Recreation. Just know that, um, every year they'll send out like the 50% off catalog. So, this is
066that this was actually 35% off the piece that we, um, looked at. It had a couple of features that we thought were really important. We did look at a couple of other we have three other companies that we looked at there. Lee Recreation is in Cambridge, Wisconsin. So, right by Madison. We have um Jeff Thompson is our guy. He's the one who has done a lot of our playgrounds and stuff like that. Um but just because it is a big purchase, we do have those other prices. This is the lowest because the the other pieces that we were looking at for the amount of children that can be on it and the um installation was going to be double what that cost is. So um we have the ability to go somewhere else. I know
067that that's a a possibility but we felt really comfortable with Lee because we have the established relationship with them. So what we are proposing not in these colors. So just letting you know uh the colors are actually going to match what's there right now. And these are also Burke is the name of the company that Lee Recreation goes through. So this is the same Burke stuff. It's going to be the same colors. So um it's this playground that has uh two slides on it along with um some other monkey bars and um some climbing features. This is just the opposite of that. So, flip the little girl in the um pink sweater over to the other side. And you can kind of see that it's just the other side of that. Um the other really
068big part of it that Anna and I had conversations about, if you see the black slide, um that's not actually a slide. It is an ADA scoot ramp. So, uh we have the commitment that we want to make sure we have the ADA opportunity at Waller. it is something we're moving forward with. So, we wanted to make sure that there every piece that we're buying from now on, we are really intentional about having that ADA feature to it. So, um that this little guy right here, you sit right down and then you can scoot yourself up and then slide down. Now, Anna said, >> "It is my favorite part of this is when we got the catalog, I said, I wonder if it has that feature in it because it is my favorite feature because
069anybody that does recess duty with any child knows that the first thing that they all do is climb directly up the slides and then we spend the entire recess reminding them we don't do that." This gives them the opportunity to climb up the slide. >> Yes. >> And it is so exciting. >> If you look, it actually has handlebars to go up as well. So any abled person is able to use uh the piece in any way, shape or form if they want to. Um so the proposal that you have Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. Sorry, Joel. So um yeah, so any abled person is able to use the equipment. So the proposal you have is the cost plus installation plus shipping. Um that entire uh piece would go into the spot that I showed you
070right here. Uh Jess Warren has already committed to demoing the older piece and getting rid of that. So that he felt uh could be part of the uh buildings and grounds budget. It was under $5,000. So he just said yes, we can absolutely take care of that portion of it. Um and then we would do the installation through Lee Recreation. this price that they gave us in the quote is good through December of this year. So, if there's any questions or conversation you need to have about this, we do have some time yet that we don't have to sign on the deadline just yet. Um, we do have until November for that pricing. So, >> but if you're all okay with it, you can do board action tonight for approval. >> Absolutely. I just wanted
071to make sure because this is the first time everybody's seeing it that if you have any questions, we can get those answered for you. So, yeah. Do you have any questions about any of it? Looks like fun, >> right? It does have monkey bars on it. So, >> but they're much lower. >> They're much lower. So, that I did want to say that they're they're a lot smaller. They're not 8 feet off the ground and they're kind of looped. So, it's not like the big bars. A little bit safer. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Um I guess no other questions or comments then. Um, I'll look for a motion then to approve the purchase of the playground equipment for Waller Elementary School not to exceed $37,317 as presented. >> So moved. >> Okay. Is there
072a second? >> Second. >> All right. And we'll do a roll call vote. Uh, we'll start with uh Kate. >> I. >> Okay. Rosanne, >> I. >> Okay. I vote yes. Uh, Paul is absent. Marlo >> I. >> Okay. Peter, >> yes. Noah >> I Excellent Motion passes. >> Okay. Thank you both. >> Thank you so much. Appreciate >> you guys. >> Once it's installed, you have to share a picture and then I can share it forward with the board. >> Heck yeah. I was swinging on the swings were for the first things that we had. So I guess I'm going to be crawling up that little ramp thing. So stay tuned. It's going to be this fall actually. They they said they if we get it within the next couple of weeks, they'll have
073it >> um shipped and hopefully we'll do it before the uh ground is all frozen. So >> stay tuned. Thank you everyone. >> Thank you both. >> Appreciate it. >> Okay. Next up is uh the 2025 2026 programs for students with disabilities. So we'll turn that over to Jill. >> Yep. This is uh a simple ask for board approval. This is something that's required annually. um kind of learned that in the last couple uh in the last year. But this is very similar to you know how we use DPI's academic standards for our curriculum that has to have annual approval. You approve that in July. Um we moving forward we'll line this up to be the same meeting as that one. This one is just saying yes uh as a school board you realize that
074we use DPI special education model forms policies and procedure manuals uh for the 2526 school year. So just looking for uh a motion to board approve that. That is indeed what we follow. >> Okay. Any comments or questions? Okay. Looking then for a motion again to use DPI special education model forms, policies, and procedures manual for 2526 school year. >> So moved. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> All right. Okay. We'll do roll call vote. Kate, >> I. >> All right. Rosanne, >> yes. >> Okay. I vote yes. Uh, Marlo, >> yes. >> Peter, >> yes. >> Right. Noah, >> yes. >> Excellent. Right. Next up is the WB legislative delegate position. Uh, the school board will appoint a member to serve as the WASBA delegate for the 2526 school year to
075attend the delegate assembly at the Wisconsin State uh, education convention on Wednesday, January 2021st. Um, I'll just say real quick, uh, Paul did express interest in being the delegate this year. Um, if anybody else has interest, um, of course nominations are open. Um, again, he would have been here, but he has confirmed that he is able to make this work and he will be attending >> because it's more than just that one meeting. >> Correct. >> Because I I have done it and I I have to be there anyway, but if he wants to do it, fine. >> Yeah. I think >> I've done it in past years. >> Yeah. >> So, I vote twice. They vote one for our board and then once for the >> right >> national or the state board. >>
076What else does it entail, Rosanne? What's the >> Well, it has to do with all the um things that are going to come before the policy and resolution committee and it's was last year was pretty hairy. They really got into it over certain things. But um so it's been a real interesting committee, but it it does take time. And I think one of the is one of the meetings in Steven's point. Anyway, the meetings are in different areas. It's not just one meeting and then you have to be there at the convention to vote >> on this c on Wednesday on that certain day. So, >> I didn't So, you go to Steven's point before the >> and then do you bring the policies back to or the uh um >> policies resolutions back to
077the board for >> Right. And I always do that. You always get a copy of them and then we talk about if you want to talk about them, we can. And then I vote the way you want me to vote. And uh it's it's fun. It's interesting. >> Is the one this year? >> Is the one in Stevens Point virtual too or No. >> No. >> And do all the school districts go to that too though? >> Well, the ones that Yeah. >> Okay. >> They all have like I've appointed two people from my from my group of school boards to be on that. So they they'll go and I'll go and then um so we'll see. >> Yeah, they it's a good turnout. >> And I know Paul's not here, but Taylor can Did
078he confirm that he could do that meeting also? >> He did. Yes. >> To the state school board. >> Mhm. >> Well, if he can make it, that's fine, but I just want to make sure he's going to be there. >> Yep. Absolutely. Okay. Is there any other nominations? Okay. Um then motion to approve uh Paul Cobberernick as uh the 2025 2026 school year delegate. >> So moved. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Okay. This one we'll just do uh all those in favor say I. >> I. >> All right. Motion passes. All right. Next up is uh appointment of deputy clerk uh or school board secretary. So with that, we'll nominate um Aaron Warbble Warl. Okay. Thank you so much. Um as you know, Aaron is uh our Norah's replacement. So
079we look forward to working with you and we thank you for for coming into that role. So from your other role with us. >> So um looking for a motion to approve the >> so moved. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> I. I. opposed. All right. Motion passes. Next up is uh resolution authorizing temporary borrowing for not to exceed 2.6 million issuance of a tax revenue anticipation promisary notes and participation in the PMA levy and aid uh anticipation notes program. So Ruth, there you are. Yes. >> Hi. Um so this is something we do every year. I think a couple years we were magically were able to not have to but uh far back as I can remember we've done this every year. Um
080it has to do with because um it's uh short-term cash flow borrowing there are usually November and January we don't have sufficient cash on hand to pay our bills. Um so a couple reasons for this have to do with the timing of when we get our um major sources of revenue. So the state aid we get quarterly September, December, January and March. Um so November is right before we get that December payment is usually a low spot. And then the tax levy uh we don't even get our first uh tax collections for the school year. It's due to us on January 20th. Um, so January, February, and the final payment is in August after the end of the school year. So we have a January 15th payroll is due before we get that January 20th
081tax settlement. So that's why January is also a low spot. Um, the other reason then is we kind of talked about trying to build up our fund balance. um to try to avoid short-term browing, you probably need to be pretty close to 25%, maybe 22 23 you could we could escape this, but um if you're kind of less than 20 that's another reason that we have to do this. Um so last year uh for the first time I chose to uh participate in it was called uh the company's PMA. So PMA is the company that helped us invest our bond proceeds from the 2018 referendum. They do a group um poolled borrowing with other school districts. So you can get a really good rate with that and uh I thought it was very successful last
082year. So I'm recommending we do that again this year. Um this year there are 10 schools participating. I think they have a couple different issues. is the one um we would participate in as an October 23rd issue. I think there there's 10 schools participating in that >> including us. >> 10 including us, correct? Um so again recommending we do that uh group uh borrowing again. Um but because of that with the timing of everything, they have us do what's called a parameters resolution, which is what we're bringing to you tonight. um just saying that they're because we're still fine-tuning all the the details and the bidding and everything that we just say not to exceed. Um so 2.6 million we might be able to get it down a little bit less than that. Um the
083other thing that is in there is the interest rate will not exceed 6%. Last year we were at like 3.79 so I don't think it will be anywhere close to that. Um but again just trying to say it won't exceed that. Um the resolution is saying we would participate in that programming in the grouped pooling and then it authorizes district administration to sign the excuse me um the final paperwork when it um has all the final pricing and bidding. Um, final payment would be due in September of 2026 after we get that first state aid payment. >> So, any questions? >> No. Okay. >> Otherwise, we do need a roll call vote, please. >> Yep. Okay. All right. Uh, looking for a motion then to approve I'm sorry to authorize temporary borrowing in the amount
084not to exceed 2.6 million. Do I have a motion? So moved. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> Okay. All right. Uh Kate, how do you vote? >> I. >> Okay. Rosanne, >> yes. >> All right. Vote yes. Marlo, >> yes. >> Peter, >> yes. >> Noah, >> yes. >> Excellent. Okay. Motion passes. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you, Ruth. Appreciate it. >> Need to catch your signature tonight, please. >> Yep. Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Next up is schoolboard committee updates. Um, we'll start with building and grounds. Marlo. Um, no updates as of yet. >> Still waiting for Mckinstry to finish up their assessment. >> They're getting close. >> Can you just do a brief like what is this again? What are they doing? >> Remember McKinstry is the company that
085we went with in order for them to assess all of our equipment across the district and then putting the barcodes on everything and knowing like the expected lifespan of everything and how much each of the items cost. Okay. So it it takes a while to do that, but there then it's going to be nice because we'll know within a year you're going to need to replace this much. How does that cost? We can make strategic planning goals off of that. So >> that's good. >> And they were going to be coming back to do a returning like presentation. Yes, they can. Their fin. Okay. >> Yeah, that'd be really good. >> Okay. Uh next we'll go to finance. Mr. Turk. >> Uh yeah, we haven't met uh since July. We're meeting next week. Um so
086we'll go through u continue our discussion about the referendum planning uh tax levy and um also talk insurance. >> Okay. Uh personnel, Noah. >> Uh yeah, personnel, we met this past uh Wednesday, September 3rd, in close session. Um reviewed appointments, resignations, retirements, and terminations um that were brought up this evening and then um we'll be meeting again in October. Um that should be Wednesday, I believe. Yeah. >> Okay. Next up is policy. Um I'll just be brief. Uh we met to review policies 1422 through 1619.03 along with technical updates and revisions suggested by the uh Neola board. Um next meeting we have is uh forthcoming. Uh next up would be board governance, communications and legislative. Okay. >> Um, we will be attending the SWSA membership meeting virtually tomorrow morning. Um, all board members are welcome
