001[music] land and the sacred lands of all indigenous peoples. Will the secretary please call the role? >> Mr. Alberts >> here. >> Mr. Magneski >> here. >> Miss FS >> here. >> Dr. Garcia >> excused. >> Mr. Jackson >> here. >> Mr. Ma >> here. >> Mr. Newmeister >> here. >> He he said here very faintly remotely. >> Dr. >> Miss Sna here. We have a cor of the board of educations present. So the regularly scheduled meeting of March 16th. We will now have the pledge of allegiance. Please stand. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America [laughter] and the stand indivisible with liberty and justice for all. [clears throat] I do have to say this is the first time that while I've ever been on school board that I
002could look out a window in daylight and see our beautiful bluffs. So, um we moved here in the fall when it was dark and so this is very nice. So, um that's awesome. >> Good daylight saving time. >> Yeah. Yeah. Thank goodness for daylight savings time. Tonight's agenda has been previously distributed to the board. I would entertain at this time a motion with a second to approve the agenda as submitted unless there is a motion to amend. >> Like to make a motion to approve the agenda as presented. >> Seconded. >> Give it to mom. >> We have a motion to second. Any further discussion. >> All those in favor of the motion signify by saying I. >> I. >> Those opposed? Motion carries. >> Yep. A roll call vote. >> We're going to need
003roll call on everything. Yeah. >> Good. Thank you. >> Thank you, Laura. We'll do a roll call vote. >> All right. Mr. Alberts. >> Hi. >> Mr. Vineski. >> Hi. >> Miss Fuks. >> Hi. >> Dr. Garcia. >> Excuse me. I am sorry. Mr. Jackson. >> I. >> Mr. Ma. >> I. >> Mr. Newster. >> Dr. Sprag. >> I. >> Miss Sukla. >> I. Motion carries. We'll then move on to public speakers. It is the policy of the board to provide at its public meetings an opportunity for individuals to address the board. Comments about individual staff or personnel are will not be allowed. Open meeting law prohibits the board um from engaging in discussion and responding to matters that are not included on the agenda. All speakers are reminded that this uh same policy limits
004your time to speak to five minutes. This limit will be strictly enforced. May I ask the superintendent to keep track of the times and to notify the speaker when the time is running out? >> I will. >> Thank you. You are also asked to give your name in the school district or where you reside at the beginning of your comments um of your and your time to speak for our public record. Our first speaker tonight is Greg Shamps. Okay, thank you for allowing me to speak here tonight. Uh, my name is Greg Shams. I live in the school district. I'm at 2110 Redfield Street. U, I'm a taxpayer and parent of two students in the district. Um, I'm also a proud public educator in the district. I'm teaching social studies here at Central for 20
005years. Um, I am not on social media. I prefer to avoid that garbage. Uh, but a friend of mine forwarded a Facebook post to me yesterday from Andy Parish, which is posted on Saturday, and I learned that Andy is a conservative opinion writer for WISM News. In his post, which I'm not going to elaborate on, uh, it's misleading, and that's not the main purpose of my arguments, he basically says that voucher schools in our area, such as Luther, have better test results than public schools, and they also spend fewer dollars per pupil than the school district. and his argument was accompanied by a very colorful infographic. Now, his arguments have many flaws. I don't want to get into it in detail, but it lacks corroborating evidence. He omits important facts, context, and nuances between voucher
006schools and our public schools, but that's for another time. I'm concerned tonight by the response to this post by board member Adam Ma. Adam, I had you as a student in my class and I remember you as a very intelligent young man, but the response you made to this post, which is forwarded to me, shows a glaring lapse of intelligence and a lapse of common sense. Mr. Manka responded to Parish's post by saying, quote, I support the voucher program and quote, I'm very tired of hearing public educators speak as if they own children. What an offensive comment to make about the teachers in this district. Now, his comments about vulture vouchers, excuse me, are also concerning to me for a number of reasons. Uh, the board policies state that it is the job of the
007board to quote, "Ensure resources are available to provide excellence in education." Mr. Ma, by promoting vouchers undermines this policy because vouchers take funding from public schools which serve over 90% of students, including those in Lacrosse. Furthermore, school board governance and c culture section number one states, quote, "The school district of the Lacrosse Board of Education, supporting the welfare of students, the interest of the community, and the work of the staff, represents, leads, and serves the citizens, and holds itself accountable to them by committing to act in their best interest. Private school vouchers are not in the interests of the community, nor do they support the welfare of students. In fact, they detract from it by pulling money away from public schools and giving it to unaccountable private schools. So, by promoting this voucher system, Mr.
008Ma is not supporting our students nor the broader community. Governance and C culture section number three, subsection two states, the board will quote advocate for the district and the students it serves at a local, state, and national level. Promoting voucher programs is the antithesis of advocating for our public schools. It's advocating for private voucher schools instead. This is akin to Packers coach Matt Laflur wearing a Vikings hat and giving Green Bay's plays away to the Chicago Bears. Governance and culture section 7 states that the board and its members will conduct themselves lawfully with integrity and high ethical standards in order to model the behaviors expected of staff and students and to build public confidence and credibility. Mr. Ma has not conducted himself with integrity as he is working against the interest of our schools and
009students while at the same time being an elected board member. His credibility as a representative of the school district is tarnished because of of his promotion of vouchers and it shines a bad light on the entire board harming public trust. In summary, Mr. Ma, you obviously have your opinions and your First Amendment rights, but you are also an elected official and we hold our officials to higher standards of conduct. Your comments promoting unaccountable private voucher schools while a sitting member on the Lacrosse School Board are a disgrace and your behavior has betrayed the public trust. For these reasons and those I've already mentioned, I strongly urge you to resign your post and allow someone else to serve out the remainder of your term, someone who has the best interest of the Cross's children at heart.
010Barring that, I exhort Board President Sukla and the board to publicly censure Mr. MA for his advocacy of voucher policies that directly harm our students. I referred to the board to governance and culture section 9 subsection D. Are our public schools perfect? No. But are they great? Yes. And our collective goal as board, staff, parents, and community must be to strengthen our already great schools and not to undermine them in favor of unaccountable vouchers which leech funding away from the majority of our children. Thank you for your time and consideration. >> We'll now move on to our school showcase. Um, the first item has been cancelled because of the weather. Um, do are we doing the second one on the public education? Awesome. >> Oh, there you are. >> I didn't see you. I'm sorry
011about that. Lacrosse Public Education Foundation is going to present to us short. Hello. It is always good to be here. Uh when I attend or tune into the board meeting from home, I often hear conversation around your table about how much our community cares about public education and about how great and important our staff are. I'm glad to share um have a chance to share even more evidence of our community support and our staff's excellence with you through these updates about LPF's programs in 2025. During the 2025 calendar year, LPF played a role in directing over $470,000 to support students, educators, and schools in the school district of Lacrosse. Uh this represents one of our most impactful years to date, which is also what I was able to say last year. So, it's great to
012be able to say that again. even more impactful and it's an honor for me and my colleague Judy and the members of the LPF board to play a role in putting community resources to action in um into action in our schools. I want to give a special shout out to Patty and Dvita um and the whole business office team. Every single dollar well not every never not every single one of those dollars but nearly all of those dollars flow through the business office and they take such great care and attention and making sure that they end up in the exact right spot. Um, and so I'm very grateful for them. Uh, LPF mainly does four things, as you most likely [clears throat] know. We celebrate educators and staff. We support the needs of students and
013families experiencing financial challenges through random acts of kindness. We fund educator ideas for creative classroom projects through Goldstar grants. And through a variety of pathways, we connect community generosity to other priority needs in the district. Uh this year we've been excited to continue partnering with the district and LEA on the Golden Apple recognition program which was highlighted at last meeting. And just a quick reminder, spring round of nominations are open until April 2nd and we'll be announcing this um year's Golden Apple awardies shortly after and details are available on the district homepage. Um that's maybe just for the public shout out for everybody listening online. LPF also plans to celebrate thank a teacher day on Tuesday May 5th and you're all invited to join us that morning to deliver breakfast at each school and this
014is made possible the by the Carol Table thank teacher fund of the Lacrosse Area Community Foundation and I will share details about that with you over email but we are honored as always to lift up staff and celebrate their dedication and hard work. Funding for our random acts of kindness program is stronger than ever uh thanks to the Random Acts of Kindness Forever Fund, our endowment, and generous community giving that continues. As you know, random acts of kindness helps kids get to school, be ready to learn, and able to participate participate fully. With such strong community giving for this program this year, we've been able to support a collaboration that energy and transportation manager Jeff Ellson has built with MTU to build to more efficiently make bus passes available for students. Um, our community services
015staff has been able to continue supporting family level needs to help students maintain stability at home and staff in every school are able to flexibly remove barriers that students are facing. Uh 2025 was also a really strong year for our gold star grants and you heard about let's recycle last meeting um from the Longfellow Middle School and 39 other projects also received uh a total of $95,000 in 2025. I want to take a moment to specially shout out um Nick Maru for the excellent job he does highlighting um wonderful things that happen in schools every day and in particular his partnership in showcasing gold star grants. Um, if you don't already, I really encourage you to follow the district on any of your favorite platforms. There are so many amazing things that are highlighted there.
016We are really, really grateful that oftentimes they are gold star grants projects. Um, it's just a great way to see the enthusiasm for educators and um, bringing these ideas to life and also the experience that students are getting to have in our classrooms. Um, 2025 marked the conclusion of our fiscal sponsorship of solar on lacrosse schools. I think this also came up at last meeting. Um, through volunteer community fundraising from 2020 to 2026, Souls was able to raise $548,000 for solar projects on Hamilton North Side Polytenic Summit and Southern Bluffs. Uh, LPF was honored to facilitate this community investment and sustainability as a fiscal sponsor. And through Soul's efforts, Souls's efforts, the district was able to pursue Solar Solutions funded solely through private donations and public rebates. I'd like to amend that. Um, of course,
017the staff time on the part of Joe and all of his staff to make those projects happen um was covered by the district. So, that's not solely private donations, but the energy savings from these arrays going forward mean that more dollars are available for other critical needs. and we're really grateful that we played a small role in that effort. Um, in 2025, community supporters also gave over $175 thou dollars through LPF to fund specific needs in a variety of areas like literacy, music, physical education, mental health, field trips, and performing arts. When we connect with donors, we're always aiming to elevate the most significant needs that district staff and administrators have identified. And when we encounter new opportunities, ideas, and funding sources, we are first and foremost concerned with making sure those efforts serve the
018needs of students and align with district goals and priorities. We aim to be a stable and responsive funding partner for the district. To that end, we incorporate the district's mission, instructional goals, and strategic visioning into our understanding of how we can best support you and and the district's work. And we're really grateful for the productive and collaborative relationships with many administrators and educators who help us get better and better at this every year. Specifically, we're fortunate to have district staff Darcy Lens of Southern Bluffs and Sang Lee of Longfellow Middle School and um Scott, we will have a north a north side person next year. No worries. Um who serve on our board of directors and then also Dr. angle and of course your representative Meredith Garcia who serve in the exeicio capacity. So our
019successes in 2025 really truly demonstrate both the generosity of our community and the excellence of our staff and I'll also say the belief in what is possible for our kids. So, it's just really such an honor to be sitting here and I thank all of you. In conclusion, by um for those what you do serving on the board, your time and attention in service to public education and the strength of our district make our community stronger. Thank you. >> I just want to say thank you very much to the foundation. I'm always impressed at the innovative ideas that come um from the awards that that you give out and and if it weren't for you, there wouldn't there wouldn't be a place for those ideas to come to life as you said. And um again,
020and it's so cool to see the kids owning something and and saying this is what we want to do and and they're part of making it happen. and how you're teaching um I think of our um results about citizenship and and for them to own something and own a public process that way I think is so important. So, thank you for all the work that you and the foundation do and I know other board members have comments as well. >> Jim, I also would like to thank you and then go on and expound a little bit on random acts of kindness. When I was the principal at Hamilton Elementary School, I just can't believe how valuable that program was to help any number of families almost on a daily if a weekly if not daily
021basis. So, thank you. >> Adam, >> want to join the bandwagon as well as a thank you as well, even just personally when it came to getting the scholarship. I mean, I know you're a strong organization. You had former board members at that social comp over there and I got to meet quite a lot of them, too. just seeing how they support the district and how like you guys really are passionate about serving the district, it really does show every time I walk in and have a chance to talk with you all. >> Thank you. >> Any other comments? >> Well, thank you. Thank you so much. >> Thank you guys. >> Thanks. >> Okay, we'll move along on our agenda. We'll move to the approval of superintendent's consent agenda. Uh superintendent's consent agenda is
022a mechanism used by the board to deal with routine business that must come before the body. Are there any items that members would like to remove from the superintendent's consent agenda? >> Jim, >> I have a question on the certified staff. >> Go ahead. >> So, uh, my question is it it says Central High School activities director [clears throat] and yet I know that person. Most people know that person and yet there's no resignation. So, it just seems like it didn't come across well to me. And then the other one is uh the Logan Middle and Logan High School. It says a grade 6 through 12 Agra Science educator. Is that for this year? And if it is, what are the students in that program doing if they don't have an a teacher, an educator?
023>> Yeah. So, this is a list pulled for this year and for next year. So, positions even starting [clears throat] July 1st. And so, uh Mr. Ambrose retired with his uh in our last meeting. And so congratulations to him. Uh excited for that for him. Uh sad for us because he did a great job. Uh but we'll be looking for a new uh activities director in this following year. So >> [clears throat] >> um I can um talk to the HR folks to see if we can clarify if these are still existing for this year or you know posted for the following year. That'll help create some more clarity there. We'll take care of that. >> Thank you. [clears throat] >> Thanks. >> Yes, absolutely. >> Are there any items that members would like to
024remove? Otherwise I look for a motion to approve. like make motion to approve the items in the superintendent consent agenda as presented. >> Second. >> Thank you. Thank you. Any further discussion? >> We'll do a roll call vote. >> Okay. Mr. Alberts. >> Hi. >> Mr. Bneski. >> Hi. >> Miss Fuks. >> Hi. >> Mr. Jackson. >> Hi. >> Mr. Banka. >> Hi. >> Mr. Newmeister. >> I >> Dr. Sprag. >> Hi. [laughter] >> Loud and clear. >> Oh, good. I'm sorry. I didn't want to make sure you could [laughter] hear me. I almost scared us. >> On you. >> I said I. I'm sorry I interrupted. >> I Thank you. >> Motion carries. We'll then move on to the uh board consent agenda. Get my pages flipped around here. Um this includes the March
0252nd, 2026 minutes. The board consent agenda is a mechanism used by the board to deal with routine business [clears throat] that must come before the body. Are there any items that u members would like to remove from the board consent agenda? >> If none, I'd look for a motion to approve. >> So move. >> Motion >> seconded. >> Motion in a second. >> Roll [snorts] call vote, please. >> Mr. Alberts. >> Hi. >> Mr. Beski. >> Hi. >> Miss Fuks. >> I. >> Mr. Jackson. >> I. >> Mr. Ma. >> I. >> Mr. Newmeister. >> I. >> Dr. Sprag. >> I. >> Miss Zucla. >> I. Motion carries. We'll then move on to matters reserved for board action starting with operational expectation monitoring report OEE10 learning environment. >> This is a part of our monitoring
026process. Um OE10 comes up every year and we have Miss Carrie Huth here to present. >> Good evening. Um as Dr. Engel said, I'm here to uh present the operational expectation um 10 learning environment. The superintendent shall establish and maintain a learning environment that is physically, socially, and emotionally safe, welcoming, inclusive, respectful, and conducive to effective learning. On the front page, you'll notice some highlights. Um, the comprehensive student services program that supports the whole child. Um, uh, one of our survey results from last year to this year made a solid increase. We are at 88% of students feel safe at school, up from 83% last year. That is a survey that is sent out and the data was just collected um within the last few weeks and being reported tonight and those students um are
027K 3 through 12 that were tested um or surveyed um and 100% of significant behavioral responses were resolved following the district established criteria which we'll note in um a later part of the presentation with respect to the results of OE10 learning. environment. The superintendent certifies that the following information is accurate and complete and the school board is and the school district is in compliance with exceptions noted and we'll go specifically into that. So OE10 indicator one. Um this is where we look more closely at our student climate survey results. There are three questions that we specifically look at based on safety, belonging, and support at school. All three of those increased. If you look at the evidence for indicator one, all three of those responses increased um from last year. Overall responses for um I
028feel safe at school. We're at 83 last 83% last year at 88% this year as noted on the highlighted page of the indicator or the OE. The next question I like I feel like I belong at school. overall results went from 81% last year to 83% this year. The other question that we review is there is an adult at my school who will help me if I need it and last year we were at sorry some of this numbers are a little small um 95% last year and again at 95% this year. You can look more closely at that data for our reference groups and how it is broken down, but overall it is a very positive response to our um to our data. And that survey indicator 2 looks more um broadly at the
029district's comprehensive effectively staffed pupil services program and is reviewed annually. This report was put together by Miss Ammy Zabrowski, our director of student services, and goes more specifically into staffing and racials for student school counselors, school social workers, school psychologists, and school nurses. And that is the indicator 2 of 10.1 our school counselors, school social workers, and school psych school psychologists. there is a recommended ratio and we are um close to or near that ratio for each one of those categories. Nurses there is not a recommended ratio. If we move on to 10.3 code of rights and responsibilities is re reviewed annually and provided to the school board for review. Uh the two pieces of evidence here are um the school board's annual work plan GC6E and then the code of rights and responsibilities. The
030code of rights and responsibilities is reviewed on a yearly basis and taken to our stakeholders for feedback. Mr. Kurt T uh director of current community services has been working closely with our code of rights and responsibilities as we look for revisions and feedback for the upcoming year. And that is indicator 2 and indicator three and we're compliant there. Indicator four is the percentage of office discipline offenses and suspensions ISS and OSS is proportionate for students of color and students identified as having a disability. >> Do you want to say what ISS and OSS are for the public? >> Sure. In school suspension is ISS and OSS is out of school suspension. Thank you. the evidence as being reported for the 2425 discipline data. So lagging data um notes that um the Lacrosse School District served
0316,000 students in the 2425 school year. 23.9% of students had a discipline incident with 8.3 experiences experiencing either ISS or OSS suspension. significant disparities remain with our students of color as well as 36.3% of students with disabilities also have faced disciplinary actions. That is noted that um we are not in compliance there and we continue to work on this area with key initiatives um including our district discipline committee, our strategic plan of educational equity, a restorative circles at the secondary level and cultural humility training alongside a variety of fund 80 community efforts to create safe schools and monitor discipline removals. Indicator five of that same 10.2, the use of significant behavioral responses are appropriately resolved based on criteria outlined in the code of rights and responsibilities. There is a snapshot of data that was reviewed
032from November of 2024 and there was 40 um out of school suspensions in that time frame and all 40 were deemed appropriate. So in compliance for that indicator for 10.3 the superintendent will appropriately collect use and protect confidential student information. There are pieces of evidence that show our compliance that there including our district data data directory form for indicator one as well as for indicator 2, our school district of lacrosse research and development investigators guidelines. Those documents are included um as evidence. And indicator three, the district meets expectations for each indicator of OE3.1, which was presented in February of this year. Um, and we were identified as meeting expectations. OE 10.4. This superintendent may not tolerate any behaviors, actions, discrimination, or attitudes by adults who have contact with students that hinder the academic performance or
033the well-being of students. There have been no formal um reports of misconduct by adults during this previous year. And finally, OE10.5. The superintendent may not tolerate unruly behaviors on school property and at school sponsored events by students or by adults that disrupt learning or that are disrespectful, discriminatory, or dangerous. We are in compliance there. And as noted at by the piece of evidence, we have the code of rights and responsibilities. Uh under OE 10.2 indicator 4 uh I look at the percentages there. Have they changed from last year? Uh are they improving? Are they staying the same? Uh it says 23.9% of the students had a discipline incident. Um do you know how that was the previous year? If you don't have it, we can look check. >> We might have to look that up
034for you. >> Yep. And then under [clears throat and cough] uh indicator five, the last point, a snapshot review of the discipline incidents for November 1 through 15. Of the 540 564 incidents, there were 564. Is is that pretty typical? In a in what, a 14-day period >> across the full district? Yeah. Highly likely. >> Yep. because they could be any anywhere from minors to majors in regards to behavior. >> I was just surprised with that number, but I don't know what it was previously. So, it just uh just I didn't I I I thought that was a little much, but I don't know what it was previous years. So, thank you. >> Can you get that for us? Just send us an email or something just so we have that information. I think on
035the last page of the attachment it shows that we had a similar number of incidents from last year to this year but we had about a 13% decline in the number of suspensions and across all student groups the suspensions flat or declining almost all declining. >> Thank you. >> You have more Jim. Well, and the only other one was the the background as far as the student nationality culture. Uh it says for instance, significant disparency disparies remain between students of color as well as students with disability. [clears throat] Uh what are the other ones? Do you know what they are? And maybe you don't know, but for instance, of the Asian students, the white students or Caucasian students or whatever, what are those percentages? Is this up or down from previous years? >> I think
036if I'll print we'll get the a copy of the statistics [clears throat] for you so that you can see those. We have disparities pretty much across all groups. You know, suspension is one of those areas where life circumstances dramatically impact your experience at school. >> Thank you. >> And I looked at the 564 incidents, you know, over 10 days, that's about 56 a day. about 5500 students. It's about 1% of students a day have a disciplinary issue. Pretty small. >> Dr. [clears throat] >> um thanks for that additional context. Um because it kind of gets to what my question is is is essentially the the statistics are great and I'm glad to see consistency year-over-year and improvement in important areas. But specific with with regard to the disparities that we continue to see, I think
037the acknowledgment that students bring with them a host of things that are outside of our control that obviously show up in schools. I don't think anybody, you know, has any um doubt about that. What are we doing, you know, proactively to to address those differences, to address those disparities, to to review our encounters with students um in in the disciplinary procedures to ensure, you know, that we're we're checking our biases, right? >> Yeah. I think that indicator five is that snapshot. So, it specifically looks at [clears throat] those incidents and knowing that we're going to have suspensions from time to time to keep students safe. We want to make sure that they're used for the appropriate things regardless of of race or gender or disability. And so, that's what that snapshot is uh the purpose
038of them. So, there were 40 out of school suspensions during that period of time and we wanted to make sure that it aligns with our discipline continuum. So, does this meet the criteria of a out of school suspension? is it a legitimate safety issue that we would need time to plan for that student to come back into school? Uh and in this case, we found that they were um appropriate based on our internal review of those uh incidents. I think additionally, you know, we have any number of things that help tackle um, you know, the potential um, misuse of discipline. Uh, an emphasis on restorative justice uh, and many different ways that that can be accomplished through, you know, visits with counselors, uh, restorative conversations with students and staff, circles, uh, to bring students together
039uh, around uh, uh, the issue and repair harm. Um and then you know additionally we have um any number of efforts to increase belonging and a sense of security at school so that things don't happen in the first place and then as we address kind of the underlying causes in our society that might filter into schools walk-in issues and other things that gets to our work in the Huber homes and Shoe Mullen homes our community schools efforts to create stronger neighborhoods. Uh it speaks to our early childhood impact work, which we'll have an update on soon. Uh our partnership with school resource officers to create kind of the highest quality um law enforcement program that we can in schools uh to limit the use of uh uh kind of punitive measures through the development of
040relationships. So I think it's ongoing stuff almost too numerous to count and the impact of extraneous and external factors are so pervasive that it's really hard to shift the needle on our own. Um and over time we hope to continue to to see some mitigation there. I will say that as a result of our last disciplinary committee hearing um which involves community members, we identified, you know, this continued um um gap uh in terms of our outcomes for black students in particular. And so that's an area that we're going to convene a group of uh community members and staff members around to specifically think about what strategies we can use to tackle um that particular um disparity. uh and are there specific strategies we can use that specifically speak to the black experience here in
041Lacrosse uh so that we can uh mitigate uh that gap >> just a second chip we did you have any further questions Dr. No, that got to my question. Thank you. Okay. >> And then on the first page that you shared, feel safe at school, I think that's pretty good that 88% [clears throat] say that. Is that in comparison to other years? >> Yep. If you look at um the [clears throat] the table um on uh 10.1 indicator one, there is the multi-year starting back from 2022 up to 2026 of of this year that you can see the growth. So, in 2022, we had 76% of our students respond that they uh hold on, let me go to safe. Um, they had we had 76% of our students respond um in the affirmative. Uh 23
0422023, we had 80% of our students um that felt safe. 2024, 83% 2025, 83%. And then 2026 was the 88% that they feel safe. And then the next one as far as there's adult at my school who will help me if I need it. 96% I think that's pretty good. I mean 96% of the students say yes I can talk to somebody at school. And then I feel like I belong. There's almost 13% that say I don't feel like I belong. So that's how is that in comparison to previous years. I don't necessarily have that chart. >> That is up from previous years in the past too. We had 76% in 22, 76% 23. Last year was 81%. So up there as well. >> I think it's noteworthy that the the disparities in the other
043data do not show up in the student reported information in the survey results, which is great. Meaning, in other words, even individuals with disciplinary incidents and suspensions are nevertheless engaging with school in positive ways. >> So good. comments. >> Um, we might want to talk about having as one of our showcases that restorative justice. I think >> absolutely. >> Um, I think that's really meaningful work at some point and and I don't know if the public really has any idea of what goes on and what a difference it makes for those kids and for for the whole student community because as you say, it's about repairing the harm. >> Absolutely. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Uh, unless there's any other questions, we look for a motion. um to approve uh in compliance with exceptions noted.
044>> I'll make a motion in regard to the monitoring report policy OE10 learning environment and with respect to the provisions of pol of policy BSR5 superintendent accountability the board of education concludes that the superintendent and district are in compliance with exceptions noted. >> I'll second it. [laughter] >> Doing for the second who didn't have it. Okay, sounds good. [laughter] >> Okay, we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? >> We'll do a roll call vote. >> Mr. Alberts, >> I. >> Mr. Bowski, >> I. >> Miss Books, >> I. >> Mr. Jackson, >> I. >> Mr. Banka, >> I. >> Mr. Newmeister, >> I. >> Dr. Sprag, >> I. >> Missla, >> I. Motion carries. [clears throat and cough] Next item for action um are the linkage summaries. And you have the Logan
045and Central High School linkage summary reports um attached. Um >> the Poly one has been added as well. >> And the Poly one. Thank you. >> Apologies for my slow transcription. >> I had to do it last year and it took me about a month and a half. So >> I didn't get a chance to view Polytech. >> Um so uh you look over I don't know if any people anybody wants to start. I've got Go ahead Jim because I've got some summary notes too. So >> well I don't know if I have summary notes. I just was impressed with the Logan student senate showing up. They all had very good input to share. Uh Central High School had a mixed group and some of them had to leave early, but it would be nice
046to have a a more of a cross mixture of students or whatever. Maybe the student senate again would be a good representative group. I don't think I learned as much from the central group as I did from the Logan High School group. >> Oh, really? I wasn't able to go to the Logan one, but I thought the central conversation was eye opening. >> Yeah. >> I I'll make my comments and I'll call on you, Mr. Ma. Um I again very impressed with the students actually. I thought the central group um had more diversity in terms of uh students all across the board in terms of achievement and everything. Um when we asked what students like, they really like their teachers and they really like the breadth of the programs um that are there. Later on,
047they did complain both schools about the scheduling because they want to be able to take everything >> um which is exciting to hear. Um uh one of the comments from Logan specifically is uh regarding the staff, everyone here wants you to succeed and wants to help you. So that was really nice to hear. Um but the same sentiment came through from Central. Um both schools really talked about liking the community of students and the inclusivity. People felt connected. Um although there's uh got a few comments when I get to central. Um see um uh one of the uh Logan had there this is their first year with the digital pass system. We heard a lot last year from Central. Uh we didn't hear anything from Central this year but Logan students had a lot to
048share about that. Um both schools talked about the lunch program in terms of liking they would like to have more nutritional information. both groups commented that there aren't a lot of options for vegan and vegetarian students which was interesting. Um it's a it's a different group of student like when I was in school they started pizza and we thought that was pretty cool and we didn't even care what was on it. I mean it's just a but a lot of >> it hasn't changed. [laughter] >> A lot of the students talk about health issues that they have and again it's a different generation. Students that might not have been in school a few generations ago because of medical issues or other things. Um they talked about health issues and food sensitivities and all. I mean
049these are real serious things for our students. Um the thing that concerned me the most and I think folks that heard it um both schools talked about there isn't enough food at the end of second lunch. Um because first lunch can they can have seconds. We just have hungry kids and um how we I don't know how we budget for that. Um but that would be something I would want to think about. I mean, both schools commented there's like three leaves of lettuce left in the bowl in the lett in the salad bar. And um it was both schools had very similar sentiments about the later lunches and there not being much for choice. >> Um Central again talked about the respect in their community. They talked about um lacrosse and there were several lacrosse
050kids there. um they didn't feel as included and um they are they said they're not in the yearbook there isn't a lot of interaction they feel like they shouldn't be here and e even when the teachers from central come into their classrooms they feel there's a different mindset I don't know what's behind that but there were several of the students who shared that I thought that was noteworthy central's big issue was parking um I loved it tonight but that's um [laughter] uh there uh both schools talked about wanting more vape detectors. And I think we need to talk about that when we look at the capital improvements budget. And the big issue that both schools talked about was not being happy with standardsbased grading that they felt it was inconsistent. They felt that they didn't
051know where their grades were. Um they felt the teachers are trying. Um and to be honest with you, my feeling is administration's trying, teachers are trying, students are trying. Um we've made progress. We aren't there yet. Um, and um, I think we there's more work to be done. Central actually talked about some teachers that went to training that they felt they handled it really well and [snorts] they liked how they did it. So, that seems to be a good direction for us on how we can improve. So, those are some comments that I had. I I'll let others speak to. Oh, Mr. M, you were next. Sorry. >> Yeah, you you kind of stole off what I was going to say, though. Um, I uh missed out on the Logan linkage. I felt so bad.
052I got a last minute work trip. I had a duo a little bit up north there, so I didn't have time to come back here. But the central linkage, maybe it's just my background having come up here from high school. It was really, it was um probably the most productive linkage I've been to in quite a long time right there. It was very helpful to see that, too. I remember talking to those students who came talk about the um parking thing. There's four other students. It kind of reminded me of me when I was in sophomore year actually in a way just by how active they were and like they were very impressive to talk to. They're going up to city hall going for um trying to see if they can get more parking for
053lacrosse central students. And that's something put on your radar, Scott and Tim, of the city council. And then >> yeah, they're talking about the fines that the students have to deal with for this the street parking, >> right? Which I I made the point to them like you shouldn't have to be able to pay you shouldn't have to pay fines. You know, you're already strapped up on cash. You're trying to work already part-time. Like your full-time job is a student. You're supposed to be here. should be >> they're required to be here. >> Yeah, exactly. >> And on time. >> And that's something I actually offered to help them out with too. And they actually reached out to me later. And I'm I'm very impressed with that group right there. And they they I'm hoping
054they get their success. Would love to help them out for it, too. >> Um the food was nutrition is also something to do more research on. Um Erin, I believe I sent you an email a couple days ago. Maybe you might have been busy, but I was kind of curious here if there's anything we can hear more about that. That's always something in case it comes to the budget. Um, but I mean the one that's probably most gonna get me in trouble with the standard based grading. We were promised to see results, but we're not seeing them yet. I do think something needs to be heard or discussed for it as well. But I do I did like to hear there was progress at the Mrano training. But I'm largely concerned by that. But I'm
055going to save that for another time here. Just something put on a radar for. But other than that, like I want to say this was for me probably one of the most productive linkages I've been to. I was very impressed by everybody there as well. And like they said, it was a very much by diverse group of students who were very mature. And I'd say there was a lot of wisdom to be gained from hearing and listening to them there too. >> Yeah, >> I I'd continue to talk about the um the school nutrition issue. Um I think I've I brought it up in our facilities um workshop and some times before that even at the elementary schools uh the experiences that my kids have had with at state road where because they don't have
056a production kitchen if students are allowed to switch their lunch choice after everything has already been set and then students end up not you know getting their choice in the later in the later sections. And so I think um if I have the opportunity to continue for the next year, I'm going to be a thorn in your side about school nutrition. So I will look forward to hearing more about it and to exploring um how we can maybe prioritize some some changes in the district if if that's a direction that the board feels they want to go. And then the parking issue really weighed heavily on my mind as well. Um, you know, like we just said, the fact that students are required to be here by law. Um, it's it's an issue with our
057lots. We've talked about opportunities to maybe expand on it and hopefully we can realize some of those things. Um, yeah, Scott and Tim, I think working with the city, like why not a high school student city parking pass, right? like why can't the city partner with us on something like that to to ease that pressure uh on students um while we work on building more parking lots [laughter] something some again food for thought. So >> yeah, >> it's a good idea. >> Yeah, I mean I definitely want to understand it more >> because it seems to me you know enrollments down when we parked we had plenty of parking but I don't know if kids are driving more or what's going on. >> I think that's part of it. definitely something to dig into and
058find out. >> He had a lot more neighborhoods to park in also than they are allowed to now. So yeah, >> u a smaller sub concern of the parking issue is specific to like the health science academy um and the students who have transit time for their schoolwork um and and the difficulties that they experience with getting back and getting in on time and and if there's things that can be done to more productively manage that um for students in those in thosemies. And then previously, I believe there were just juniors and seniors that were allowed to come and then they were there was a lottery as far as who was able to park here. You got a lottery this quarter or semester or whatever. But so they limited who got passes to park in
059the in the parking lot. >> Yeah. >> Um anything else? We gave you a long list of things that were here and I think we [clears throat] the students really well there were a few things that got into um operational things again how lunch is served and all that is operational but is there enough money to pay so there's adequate amount of food that's that's at our level and so I think u we were able to glean things that are beyond operational um but >> yeah especially once we have the summaries of the the linkages at the end of each year. We take those and we evaluate them to see what the highest priority issues are and attempt to tackle those to the best of our ability. Our students have submitted their responses. So, these
060will go to the principles and to our district office for review. And um we're seeing um school nutrition come up in our code of conduct uh discussions as well [clears throat] kind of more consistently. And so that is something that we'll look at. Um you know, it's something that bubbles up to the surface every few years. um probably since they started serving school lunch >> [snorts] >> uh in the 1920s, you know, so uh it's not a new issue by any means and one we can certainly look into. Um generally speaking, school lunch is just a matter of how much money you want to lose. Uh and so that is the challenge with school lunch. Um we're trying to meet federal requirements and guidelines on a shoestring budget. And so that makes it difficult to
061meet everyone's needs. And so we try and meet most people's needs to the best of our ability, but we're always interested in seeing if we can uh make more accommodations for students and meet the everchanging needs of our community. >> Yeah. And um I will say we left the uh workshop on standardbased grading. We heard a lot of really good things and we kind of said we'll hear what the linkages say. And so, um, there's work more work to be done and I think we as a board can talk about that at a future meeting about, um, hearing from administration what direction to go with that. >> Scott has his hands up. >> Oh, hello. Hi, Scott. What you got? >> Hello. Thank you. Um, just a few things I just wanted to quickly bring
062up. Obviously, standard-based grading was a topic, but I also was impressed on how they brought up how they may not care for standard-based grading, but they are a believer in standard-based learning. So, maybe that's something maybe we can look at a little bit further. Um, because they understand they don't want to leave anybody behind and they were pretty adamant about that, which I thought was very respectful. And I was so impressed with our students as I always am. Uh that the love and the care they have for both their community and their school and more than anything there's the staff uh makes your heart warm because it we obviously are doing a lot right. Are we perfect? No. But we have done a great job and we continue to work on um things that need
063to be worked on and it just proves with our surveys and we're heading in the right direction. And one thing on the school nutrition. Um, yes, again, we're not perfect, but I'll tell you what, we're much better than we ever have been. And obviously, we have a little bit of work to do, but I think Dr. Engel brought it up. The hardest thing is budget. I mean, it's a it's a losing battle. Um, we we don't make money obviously on lunch. We lose a lot, but we want to make sure everyone's fed. So, where do we where do we find the the happy medium where people are getting what they need, but you know, we're we're not letting second and thirds and whatever need be. But we also realize some for some kids this may
064be the only meal they get for the day. So, we're in a tough uh tough spot there. But, I just want to bring that up on how proud I am of our staff and our administrators, especially school-wise. Um, you can see it by the surveys and talking to those kids and linkages. >> Sure. >> Yeah. >> Sorry, I I we talked a lot about Logan and Central and and because I was >> Thank you, >> Tardy and getting the the transcription of the notes for PY. I didn't want to leave them out. Um Jim and I were in attendance at that meeting and had quite a long discussion with the Poly students um on a variety of topics. Um, but two that really stood out to me, um, I think the the challenges that they
065experienced with the closure of Cameron Park, um, for for a while and then general, um, kind of need for for review of safety and security around their site in particular for young women. Um, some pretty troubling accounts of of interactions with non-school affiliated uh, local residents. Um, certainly a concern with the unhoused population. um in in their area as well. Um but things that have have impacted them significantly. Um and um well Jim, do you want to bring up anything from that? >> Well, the other thing is that they felt like they didn't have as many choices as they had in previous years. And so then I talked to the principal of the school and he indicated to me that they're trying to make sure that they cover the core responsibilities which maybe in the
066past they didn't always cover as well as they should. So, they've seen to try to pull it in a little bit more. >> Thank you. And thank you for making sure we add that important group of students. Thank you. >> Um, with that, we need a motion to approve the linkage summaries as presented. >> So moved. >> Seconded. >> A motion and a second. Any further discussion on the linkage summaries? >> We'll look for a roll call vote. Mr. Alberts. >> Hi. >> Mr. Vagneski. >> I. >> Miss Fuks. >> Hi. >> Mr. Jackson. >> Hi, >> Mr. Ma. >> I. Mr. Newmeister >> I. >> Dr. Sprag >> I, >> Miss Suga, >> I, >> excuse me. [clears throat] >> Thank you. Uh, [snorts] we will then move on to information items and the
067only one we have this evening is referendum construction plan update. >> Um, construction moves ahead. Even with the snow at State Road, they were able to cover up uh the first floor and so they were able to do interior walls today and they're working on mechanicals and the ground. Uh so the masons were still busy and the plumbers were still busy. So uh good stuff going on there. Um they're doing site prep at the Hogan site right now and they are on their way um towards putting in footings as soon as next week. So moving very quickly. Um in service of the geothermal that will be going in at uh the Hogan site. I think there's like 130 wells that will be drilled uh in order to facilitate the the piping that that requires. Uh
068>> 130 >> I think. Yeah, something like 90 at North Side and like 130 here. Uh the net result between the uh the the solar panels and the geothermal though is that um it's almost a net zero cost for HVAC for the building which is incredible. [snorts] >> Um and uh very sustainable for the future, easy to maintain. Uh so very exciting uh to get started on that work. >> Thank you. That's just a lot of holes. >> Reminds me of ice fishing and you got to watch where you walk. tip ups everywhere. [laughter] >> Um, any questions? Okay, we'll move on then to uh announcements. The student representatives of course are not here this evening because of the weather and school being closed. So, um, Mr. Bagneski, CISA 4 board of control. uh there
069was only the only thing that I think we could talk about here is the uh career technical education or youth apprenticeships and I guess I was unaware and maybe some other people would also like for instance when we talk about agriculture in lacrosse I didn't understand that there were necessarily like 10 different pathways underneath that and then which pathway do you follow and all the other youth apprenticeship programs have the same thing as far as the pathway and then so how is a decision made on the pathway and uh if you hire a is it you only h say okay I'm going to follow one pathway with this career technical education program or do we try to follow all 11 depending upon the background of the instructor I don't know how that works >> yeah
070we support all pathways for youth apprenticeships and so um we have teachers that can support all of those um different opportunities for kids. >> That's amazing. >> It really is. >> Um thank you. Uh Dr. Garcia isn't here, but we already received a great report on the Lacrosse Public Education Foundation. Um Mr. Alberts and Mr. Newer, any update on the city school consortium? >> Um yeah, there's been a there's been a few more meetings. Uh the discussion of of location of the pool um has been a discussion. Um and then the construction of a survey to get out to um uh the parks board, the council um just kind of to see their thoughts on the whole process uh and how to move forward. So that's about it. >> Is there any city involvement in
071terms of turning the north side library into a community center? Is there support that way or >> that that hasn't been in discussion. It's primarily about the the pool. >> Any questions? Mr. Newmeister, anything to add? >> Uh Mr. Newmeister was on a vacation run there, so [laughter] I'm afraid he wasn't present and I apologize for that, but I was in nice warm weather at the time. >> That's all right. You got to enjoy life. Okay. Uh we will then move on to board president announcements. Um the linkage that uh was supposed to be this evening was canceled because of weather uh with the cultural community partners. Uh there are tentative reschedule dates of May 4th or May 18th. So please look on your calendars and keep those open so we could uh again have
072that uh at 5:00 pm >> um as uh hopefully the same place. >> Yes, ideally. the nature place discovery room. So, um the 24th is the linkage that we as a board added this year with the Lacrosse Education Association Student Services Committee. That will be here in this room. >> Actually, I'll make an edit to that. We did have to do some shuffling. Sorry, I had this pre-baked in the agenda. Um so, it will actually now be at the crew offices on French Island. >> Oh, okay. >> And what time again? >> Um 4:30 still. >> 4:30. Okay. get that written down. Um, April 6th, we have, which is our next meeting, we have a workshop and we are going to discuss the board self assessment. So, they need to get in. We need everybody
073to do their assessments and that includes the board president. So, she's going to work on that. Um, so please get those in. I I know last year several board members didn't respond and it just it kind of skews the whole result and so it's really important that that you take time and do that. So please mark your that down that you do that. Um I also want to add that um last week uh Mr. Begneski and I were invited as president and vice president of the board to uh a meeting uh in Holman with the president and some vice presidents of the school districts of Holman an Alaska and West Salem. and just to kind of talk about issues that board presidents might want to talk about. Um, being new to this role, I was
074kind I thought it was very interesting. Most of the folks there have been president for 20 years, some of them. And so, um, uh, it was kind of interesting to see the difference of the things that we discussed. Uh, we're going to bring some of it back to the next meeting. I didn't have the materials to add to the agenda for this meeting, so we'll um bring these uh to the next meeting. Um there was a long discussion um about putting together a a letter to uh state legislators about the need for taking getting increased funding for public education. Um Columbia, I think it was Columbia County. >> Yes. >> Uh wrote a letter and it was all the districts in that county got together and wrote a letter. And I think if if we
075do that and um we're going to invite Bangor schools. they weren't in attendance but uh we want to invite them you know if we write a letter together about the need in terms of uh the growth in um um special ed students in as compared to the our student population which is declining the number of special ed students population is increasing and the and the demand on our resources for that um there's a conversation there's a comment in there about um the operating referendums if we added up all the operating referendums in Lacrosse County, what is that costing Lacrosse County taxpayers and how can the state help us out? So, I think that could be a really impactful letter. So, we'll bring that back to the board to discuss. Um, also some um recommendations on
076advocacy around uh vouchers uh included in that. Uh we also talked about we learned from each other about different things that we do. Uh, one of the things that Jim and I were very interested in, uh, was, and we'll bring back again for, uh, discussion at a future meeting, um, is how those boards use committees. And I, and we were the only coherent governance policy board there, um, but how they use, uh, committees seemed really, uh, interesting and I thought worth worth discussion. I think Jim and I both like that. Did I miss anything? >> No, that was pretty good. Um, so we're meeting again in June. Well, maybe me, maybe not me. We'll see what see how that goes. Uh, somebody will be from this district and we're meeting [laughter] in June. Um, and
077but it's it was a I just really appreciate uh an Alaska and Homeman uh presidents for uh organizing this and getting this off the ground. I think it can really do some some great things. I I know that you as uh superintendents talk, but we as uh board members uh view thing have just have a different view on things and so it was just nice for us to get together and and uh connect. So it was a great meeting and we'll bring some information back to you um at the next meeting. That's all I have. Dr. Engel, >> um we didn't have school today. Um so that's a little bit late. emailed me last night and asked if there'd be school and I said they always have school. So, >> we were going to have
078school right until 4:45 a.m. when my car ran a drift of [laughter] a snow drift on mm. Uh it took me about 15 minutes with my snow shovel to dig myself out, proceeded on my way, and I thought to myself, if I get stuck, I don't know if uh I want to put our high school juniors and buses on the road in the same conditions. And while in town it seemed relatively mild up on the ridges and in the back roads it was quite windy. I too received uh an email from a student or two. Um [laughter] I'll bet I was at a chamber of commerce uh forum today uh for public education or for education in general and uh one of the framings of the questions was you know kids these days um don't
079have the same interpersonal skills that they used to. what are you doing about it? I offered to be the contrarian and say I think their personal interpersonal skills are pretty darn good. We've got 50% of our kids in the workforce. Uh we've got 25% youth apprenticeships. I just watched the show choir perform and they are clearly have some interpersonal skills. Uh I've seen DECA FBLA forensics kids um in the hallways. They're polite and kind. They hold doors. My experience is a little bit different. And here's one of the emails I got last night. Uh, I'm from Longfellow Middle School and if you've recently seen the weather, you'll be able to tell it's not in its best condition. [laughter] In fact, it's very unsafe and I would like you to consider all the kids that have
080to walk to school in these blizzard-like conditions. The roads are hardly safe either. The constant snow blocks a person's view and does not allow them to see in front of them, which is highly dangerous. Please do see that I understand the amount of snow days we've already had. Although it's not only for the safety of the children but of the teachers. So you should have us let us have a snow day. It will protect those students and give teachers a moment to settle before state testing later on this week. I'm simply asking that you consider my reasonings sincerely. >> Can we get that printed off and like stapled on the wall or something? >> I've got about 30 of these from over the years. Uh some of them are a little cheekier or short. This
081one was very professionally written for a middle school student. Uh, and so to me, it just speaks to the the level of interpersonal communication our students do have. And so I I reject some of those the kids these days arguments uh when I hear them. >> Mr. Beeski, >> uh, I noticed on TV today that many of the schools that were closed said they had virtual learning going on and lacrosse doesn't or does. And what what what's the difference as far as extra day of not missing school? I mean, >> yeah. Uh we don't uh have virtual learning. Um I've seen it enacted in a number of places. I personally believe it's of dubious value both for the teachers and the students. It allows especially more rural schools to avoid having to go to like
082June 15th, you know, given the weather conditions in those rural communities. So, I think in some situations it's it's totally [snorts] um uh viable and especially if you've got good strong plans in advance in order to be able to do that. Uh here in Lacrosse, we don't have a ton of snow days each year, you know, and um you know, the ability of parents or guardians to monitor their children, for teachers to arrange that sort of instruction, I just personally and I think collectively we don't find it super valuable. Uh and um our solution to you know excessive uh snow days isn't to add days on to the end of the year. It's to add minutes on to the end of the days that remain. And so I think we'll have six or seven minutes
083uh that we add on to the end of the school day from here until the end of the year. So we're able to accommodate that. >> I might suggest that that become part of the lunch period. [laughter] >> Uh I'm in favor of that. I will leave it to principles who have to manage days and supervisions and duties and whatnot uh to to figure out. >> Good point. >> Thank you. Um we'll then move on to agenda planning. Um the proposed agenda for April 6th is in front of you. Um, I would like to add that uh we include uh uh under action, although it might be just discussion uh the items um from the county uh board chairs meeting that I referenced. Mr. Ma, >> may I also suggest adding I'm curious to see
084if we can have an information session about the training that was done for the um standardbased grading that the students did praise. I'm kind of curious if we can hear more about what's training opportunities are being provided for teachers for standard based grading. We could provide a report or an email. We could absolutely send that out. Okay. >> Is that okay if we do it by email or do you want are you recommending a an agenda item? >> I I think I'm more in favor of a report, but I can definitely do an email. Just I want to hear more about that and >> see how that works and if we need more, we can follow up. >> We'll do that. >> Yeah, I think we'll start with that and if you we do need
085more, we'll follow up. Um, so with that said, we'd look for a motion to approve the agenda with the addition um of the uh uh information from the county board chairs meeting or um or anything else anybody wants to add. >> So moved. >> Seconded. >> Okay. Motion and a second um for the agenda planning for April 6th. Any further discussion? Roll call vote, please. >> Mr. Alberts. >> I. >> Mr. Beeski. >> Hi. Miss Fuks. >> Hi. >> Mr. Jackson. >> Hi. >> Mr. Ma. >> I. >> Mr. Newmeister. >> I. >> Dr. Sprag. >> I. [laughter] >> Miss Sucla. >> I. >> Motion carries. >> Uh, board debriefing this evening is to Dr. Sprag. >> All right. I feel like I haven't gone in in an age here. Um, pretty pretty quick meeting
086all all told with with the monitoring report and everything. Um, always great to hear from LPF and everyone. So, um, all around I think, yeah, good questions. Staying focused, um, pointing pointing questions towards information that we want to see more of. Um, hoping to get more responsiveness as I think it's as we have seen and and continue to. So, I'm I have no complaints about tonight's meeting. >> It was I really liked the linkage report as well. Hearing from our students is important to us. Yeah, those are the ones I think I I particularly like dwelling on, but yeah. >> All right. Anybody have anything to add to the debriefing? Okay. Then the Lacrosse Board of Education will consider a motion to move into close session Monday, March 16th, 2026, immediately following the board of
087education meeting uh central high school room 232 pursuant Wisconsin statute 19.85 85 PN1 PNF F for the purposes of considering Oh, we weren't adding that piece of it. The data the we're not including uh student medical history. >> Okay. Uh let me say let me start over. Lacrosse Board of Education will consider a motion to move into close session on Monday, March 16th, 2026 immediately following the board of education meeting in Central High School room 232 pursuant to Wisconsin statute 19.85 85 PN1 PN F um nope PN 1 PN C for the purpose of considering employment promotion compensation or performance evaluation of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or performs uh or has jurisdiction exercises responsibility to with the uh superintendent evaluation. >> So moved. >> Thank you. >> Seconded. >>
