Letter A, request for Miss Mr. Hessel, volleyball coach for 10 through 10 to 14 varsity players to attend a two-day volleyball tournament in an Alaska, Wisconsin on August 26th through 28th, 2025. Florida, Lady. Hi, I'm Shelby Hel. I'm a junior. I'm Philly Peterson and I'm a sophomore and we are members of the Northwestern volleyball team and we would like to ask for your permission to attend a two-day volleyball tournament in an Alaska on August 27th through the 28th. This tournament would require a two night stay. We will travel to an
013Alaska on August 26th at our as our first match will be at noon on the 27th. It is a 4-hour drive and with our schedule for our health, we feel it would be best to go down the night before we play. We plan to stay at the Stony Creek Inn, which is in Alaska. There will be 24 teams in the tournament which is held at the Omni Center in On Alaska High School. Um we've been in this tournament since it started in 2017 and it accounts for up to a quarter of our varsity matches this season. In the past, we've played teams from Middleton, West Salem, Mineral Point, Sparta, Augusta, Bosville, Cuba City, and Stratford, as well as local teams in our conference like Cumberland and Lady Smith and also Webster. Um last year we
014went 1 and six at the tournament but it was still very beneficial to us um as we got to see great competition. So yeah, all the matches were close. The exact cost to attend the tournament is unknown at this time. It will depend on the number of players on the varsity team, though we estimate the cost for lodging and meals will be around $2,700. We will be fundraising for the first two weeks of our season in order to pay for our hotel and food. In addition to asking permission to spend two nights, we are also asking the district to cover transport transportation costs as it has in the past. We plan to travel using two school vans which have total estimated costs of about 6550. Thank you for considering our request. Do you have any
015questions? Are you still intending on getting about seven games in down there? Yes. Um it's we've had as many as 10 and I think the last few years it's been seven or eight that we've been um you mentioned you were planning to do some fundraisers. Do you have an idea in mind of what that's going to look like? Is it just our Well, last year we just did like a donation thing through what's called I don't know what leading edge, but yeah, just donations last year and then we for every donator we gave like a little sticker that says quarter of Northwestern volaw we typically raise between four to $7,000 for our fundraiser. Appreciate that. Any other questions? Then I would request a motion. Second. All in favor? I opposed. Have a good time. Thank
016you. Thank you, ladies. Uh B, request for Mr. and IUS for six FFA members to attend the 96th Wisconsin State FFA Convention in Madison, Wisconsin on June 9th through 12th, 2025. Hello, my name is Abig Anderson and I'm a junior in Northwestern High School and I was just elected um vice president in FFA. We are here to ask permission to go to the FFA state convention in Madison. We will be gone June 9th through June 12th and we have four members including our advisor, Mr. tonight is going and we are pumping ourselves. Hi, my name is Mandolin Mshack and I'm a junior and I am the treasure in FFA. When we get to the convention, we were planning on doing many community service events. Within the days, we'll be doing many leadership seminars. We are
017also doing individual and group career building workshops. On top of all of that, it I fully believe as I went last year, it is a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and uh other FFA members who want to share um share our values and our goals of FFA. We will we'll also be attending a college and career fair. There's um every career that you can think of from uh all the armed services will be there. veterinary hospitals, uh, mechanics, uh, from CAP to John Deere, Case International, um, a lot of the colleges like, um, Wisconsin, like, uh, University of Wisconsin, Northwood Tech, uh, University of Stevens Point, and me and Abby are also members of the this year's delegate team for uh FFA voting. He will decide on the matters of the future matters of
018FFA uh sorry matters concerning the ne uh next year's state officer team how we can better um grow FFA and how uh how to help FFA as a whole. There's also an art competition that mult uh three out of the four members who are uh going will be submitting artwork to go to the cost. What's the cost? I'm not sure on the on the cost but we are who's paying for it? We are we are we have through our own fundraising we have through our own fundraising with football concessions and other fundraisers we are able to fund ourselves. Yeah. Uh this is the the last little bit of the FFA uh school year here. And so um we got enough funds here to to selfund our four students go down to the state convention down
019there, participate in the leadership skills, uh the community service piece and the career connection down there. And so right before we get to the summer months or the true summer months and then look forward to our fundraising next fall again. Any questions? Yeah, based on the uh you have here you're talking about from a transportation perspective, I assume you're just taking a school vehicle as well, but covering the cost. Y any other questions? I feel like I see Mr. N at almost every board meeting for one request or the other. There'll be a break from me now until like September, October, till school. very active group. If nothing more, I would entertain a motion. I'll make a motion to approve uh six FFA members to travel to the FFA convention medicine. It is actually we
020we have up to six members who can go, but we have four members who are going. One is not present today. Okay. Four. I'll second it. There's a second. All in favor? I opposed. Have a good time. Thank you. Thank you. Authorize authorization of the electronic signature block letter hit change. I assume because we have new officers. That's the ordeal here. So we need a motion for that. Anybody making a motion to approve the electronic signature blocking letter? I make a motion to approve the electronic signature block. I'll second that. All those in favor say I. Opposed. Motion passes. Cruz underneath. All right. The 202425 C2 shared services contract. All right. in your um your packet you uh could see the um shared service uh contract with C12. We went through it as an admin
021team actually took out um a few things that were not needed and um and we're looking for approval. I didn't see that. Did that come through? It came late on today. Today I missed it. So could you give me a second to We just look at this and what I'd be interested in is the highlights of major changes in this. Sure. To answer your question, there's not any real major changes from what we've had in the past with their shares. This is your contract with CISA. Did the total price go up or down? We found some things in there that um um services to help um either principles or staff that we can't do on our own and we do needs so we took those out. Um, we do use CES to support some of
022our specialty needs in the world of special education, death, heart of hearing services, stuff like that that we still have needs, but not necessarily enough needs to staff a full-time person. Is the general admin line new? It shows like it's new or a new cost. That one's been in there for many, many years. It's the the pack group. what that stands for. So, um the packed meetings are monthly meetings that superintendents go to. We get um we get trainings, we get certain things that come up with super and then general administration. Is that the you're talking about? That's that. Yes. Isn't there some uh I don't want to over speak because I like Isn't there a uh is that the flat? Is that the fee that's that's that general administrative one that's in there? So,
023yep. Is that the one that they take all the schools and divide it out over a certain dollar amount and everybody gets to pay that as a minimum or is that a different that's a different car? A little know more about the pack than I do. So, these are paid these are services that they're providing to us. Nothing on here is the [Music] the right word. Extra. No. Well, the you know privilege to be part of CISA 12 fees. That's not these are these are everything on here is something that we get in return whether it be support for our staff, professional development, um specialy services like I talked about from from their folks. This has been paired back over the years quite a bit. We're trying to bring as much in-house as we can,
024but you do want to we need CIA for some of the smaller things that just we're big enough to have the need, but not big enough to have the FTE to handle it in house. Yeah. I mean, you know, the smaller districts rely on C more than we do because they just they they need the services that we have or able to provide and we need those. So, we some sponsors they're there every day. Oh, yeah. They're um I mean they like at one of my former schools we um you know my my special ed budget was 1.6 mill because of the teachers and staff that I had was all was all season not ours at home. Um, but like I said, we went through this um with a fine tooth comb today just to
025make sure we weren't overheating and and and weren't um using certain things and we took it out and um and so the the bottom line estimate for 2526 is 34,447,000. I think if memory serves me correctly, Dr. Crony had come in, we were well into the six figures with CI said she did a good job of bringing a bunch in house, you know, and you guys have continued that. So, appreciate that. I mean, if there's things we need through CISA, we're going to we'll get it. But, um, but I I feel really comfortable with um where we are and only only use them, you know, because why have it if we don't put ourselves? I would agree. With that being the case, any other questions, comments? Then I would ask for a motion to approve
026the shared service. I'll make a motion to approve the 12 shared services contract here. I'll second. All those in favor, please say I. I. Opposed. roll. It's a roll call vote. So, uh, let's let's get that going. We'll start with uh, Mr. Johnson. Okay. Mr. Hirsh, y Mr. Propes, yes. M. Bett, yes. Mr. Cow, yes. Mr. Yes. And I would also vote yes. Motion passes. Thank you all. Thank you. Uh, next, Tiger Tiger's Den Fes. I would assume this is a combination of Mr. Carl and Well, we've got um Casey Alex here to go over um the new fees for the upcoming school year. So, the floor is yours if you want to come up. The floor is mine. I thought you were taking care of I'll help you. I wanted to test you to
027see if you can get um so we're looking to adjust Tiger's dead rates is that the bottom line is to be I guess more competitive with the increased cost of daycare. Um when the program was started under Dr. Crony the intent was not to undercut our daycarees by any stretch. It was to be another resource for our families to use and um much of their in the cost of doing business does not go down. So, this would be for the fall of 2026 or excuse me, 2025 for the 2526 school year. Um, and more of a I'll say a straightforward pricing configuration there. There is things called dropins where parents can I'm assuming just get a hold you Casey and say I need my kid to come in two days this week and one day
028next week and three days after that. Their flexibility to be honest with you is really great, but it's sometimes very difficult for us to staff because we don't know if there's two kids dropping in or 20 kids dropping in sometimes. So, um, this proposal is more of a flat rate structure throughout the year and the parent would pay whether they use it or not, which is which is similar to any daycare. I'm out of that game now, thankfully. But I know that when I was in that game, I had to pay whether my son or daughter went to daycare that day or not. Um, do does the parent have to buy every school day of the month or can they Go ahead, Casey. Um, so the way our school year works before and after school,
029you pay monthly. Um, so there's no, so basically what we're trying to do is right now there are some families that just drop in daily. So the point is everyone's going to pay a monthly fee if they want to spot. So no matter if you're coming three days or you're coming all 20, yes, they still have the opportunity to choose between before school only, after school only, or the combin, you know, before and after school. What is this eliminating completely? Can you maybe I'm just not understanding that proposed prices. So you're dropping the daily. That's what that is. And you're a flat rate. We're dropping the drop in option for parents. So you don't you're in all month or you're out all month. How does that make sense? Well, yeah. As I'm reading this, I
030see current on top and proposed on bottom. Yeah. It's it's it's difficult to to staff and program for. some days. I'll be honest with you, more often than not, they figure it out, which is great. But then we're billing gets a little hectic as well, too. We're trying to streamline this as best as we possibly can. And we found with folks that do use drop in typically there's some routine with that more often than not. How is the availability tiger? Can I mean is it full? Is there waiting list? Is it curious? Um, we are full and have a waiting list. So, eliminating the drop in will it's it is just a headache. How long is the waiting list? Um, currently I have about 10 families on my waiting list. What's the limiting factor? Is
031it staff space? Um, so I for so take for summer for instance, I have 83 kids enrolled, but I can only have 51 kids in a day. So their schedules work out where like I can there's like a two day or a three day and I can place them together but so for school year it's a number factor but you can only have 51 people because of the staff what you have because that's what we're licensed under the state. Okay. Is there the ability to have more? Uh we get relicensed and have more. No, no. I'm just I mean that that's a lot of kids in that space. I mean, touche for what? No. But no, I I I guess I'm just curious as to is it it's a license issue. It's not necessarily a
032staff or a space issue. You you have the we have the ability to do more. Yes, we would just have to adjust our licensing to the state and we've I've had conversations with Wendy of potentially moving that way, but it's just a a logistics thing and then staffing all of that and finding I mean we have the space, but I think it's safe to say we're continuing to kind of re-evaluate and how we can improve Tiger's Den. I think it's been a a helpful program to our community um at a very cost effective rate. Um but that doesn't mean that we can't continue to adjust and try to potentially look at how we can do it better too. The other I guess my my my final thing would be that when this started we were
033not as a district going to try to goal was to never put anybody out of business from a a daycare perspective. And I believe my understanding was that there was some shopping around to to come up with rates as to what we I would assume that that happened again in in this aspect and I would hope that we're not undercutting by anything or too much in the event that's that's why we're making this increase so we're staying on par with the surrounding facilities. Okay. Fantastic. I'm I'm just curious. So, you're at capacity. Um what does that mean as far as your costs versus revenue? I'm assuming you're covering all all your costs. And how many staff do you actually have? Um so, for this school year, I have there's I think there's five there's five
034of us right now. And then for summer, there will be I believe seven I believe. Um and the cost. Yes, we're operating a surplus. Yeah. If you have capacity this to be a a program that runs in the negative. I'll make a motion to approve the Tiger's Den 526 uh price increase proposal. Date a second. I'll second it. All those in favor, please say I. I. Opposed. Motion passes. Awesome. All right. Uh item seven, the administrative report. Uh communications received. Mr. Moore. Yeah, we had a few of them. Uh first was a very nice thank you from the Vic family um for a memorial sent. Um just wanted and also she had a nice note in there thanking u the board for their support of the school district and the wages and insurance increases. Um
035we had another communication about um uh Miss Coffin is um announcement um um there's announcement um for fact um she is exceptional um person and grateful wonderful opportunity to have a valuable learning experience um that um I'm afraid of right education systems don't usually offer we had an awesome time um uh helped our community and learned um about our earth and additional harm of tobacco products. Um uh since we are from popular, we got to meet the new people to do things we couldn't have had done uh just being in school. So thank you Mrs. Kman for taking us um to laugh about that in our community. So she took some students I believe um to that um they got tobacco. So that was a nice little thank you. And then we have uh Miss
036uh Woodward who has been um working in the U middle school, but she just uh has finished her uh master's degree of education administration and uh will be receiving her uh degree from Grand Canyon um University. So she I think she just did that. So shout out to her and um that's communications for the month. I think that's fantastic when you get response from the community regarding teachers sometimes and instructors and all those counselors and so forth don't always get the recognition. Um a lot of assumptions that happen that they just do their thing. It's nice to have them recognized. So yeah, nice job to them. Uh item B, graduation uh for the senior class this year is May 23rd, 2025. And as in the past, two board members uh participate, shake hands, and hand
037out stuff. We need two people to do that before anybody says anything. I love doing it. If uh if y'all are okay with me being one of the two, I would appreciate that. Somebody wants to join me on stage and sit there where it gets really hot, that would be great. Anybody else need to arm wrestle over that area? Great. Good. Um just uh quick reminder since we're talking graduation. Um I will need um um Steve and Adam to see me afterwards. Um because I do have the diplomas to write a sign. So if one of you wants to take them home tonight then bring back in a couple days, the other ones. So I know I know I got mine done today. So I'm all I will hammer them all before I leave. We
038can take 25 minutes and do it right after. The fine print of the rolling, isn't it? Do we get in trouble if we lose them when item C, the maintenance report, uh, came from Cody. There any questions on that or if you have anything you would like to elaborate on what you gave us? Uh, pretty general on the maintenance side of things. Nothing too out of the norm for us. Just general operating stuff. The one thing I do want to note, um the bottom paragraph, I just put an FYI in there as a general FYI that the facilities audit has to be done. We had engineers and architects um in our buildings April 28th and April 29th. Um so each of our head custodians met with them, kind of walked them through our buildings. Um
039they had a chance to to uh look at where we're at on things. So, we're on schedule for them to come up at our June 9th board meeting and do kind of a a much more in-depth presentation. So, I've been meeting with them behind the scenes uh virtually. And um I anticipate unless something drastically changes that that crew or at least representatives from that group will be here to kind of share some of the findings on long range facility planning. Uh in addition to the we have pushed out a survey to our staff and that includes everybody that works here. Um it's a voluntary survey they can fill out that kind of just pretty general what is working with the building what isn't working with the building how do you rate things is good poor
040and different um to help them get their input as well so want to keep the board uh up to date on where we sit on that but I anticipate our June meeting having a little bit more length to it to cover some of the ground that they're working I believe it was at the end of last month's board meeting where you brought was it the building and grounds committee correct So did did that committee change? I can't recall from. So I guess maybe if there's an opportunity for you and Vince to maybe talk to Cody for a few minutes at some point here to kind of give you an update as to what's going on. Is that is that report out? I don't know what the scope is, I guess, but would it be appropriate
041or necessary for the B&G committee to talk about different time with them or what's your thoughts? It's a possibility that we might have a a committee meeting beforehand. Um, my general thought is this is going to be a large project, so probably sharing with the entire board would be beneficial. Um, that way the building committee isn't trying to summarize. They do want to come in there'll be some reports. Um, so that's my general thought is let's just bring it to a whole group and um start to lay out some of the the pieces that we'll we have to figure out how to address. It's one of the things like I talked about before last week. We have to get some kind of long range plan together for our buildings. Um, and I do try to
042plan as best as I possibly can. This is part of that. Thank you for being proactive in uh that. I know you talked about it for a few months, so I'm glad that it's actually happening. We're getting there. Uh item B, the WB correspondence legislative report. Mr. Brunette, just a swan song here on this one. All right. There was uh multiple public hearings and new bills impacting school boards and K12 education. Uh none of these have been approved, but they're in the, you know, in discussion phase and moving through committees. Um SB170's bill allowing WRS newans to be return to work without suspending their annuity. Talked a little bit about that one um the last meeting. Um AB 156 is a bill to require sexual abuse prevention education grades K for K through 12 or
043more commonly known as Aaron's law. Uh, Senate Bill 10 requires school boards and governing boards of charter schools to, in addition to complying with federal law, specifically allow military recruiters access to common areas and high schools and to allow access during a school day and to in to school sanctioned events. Senate Bill 11 uh requires a principal of a public school, including an independent charter school, to schedule at least one date and time at the beginning of the school term for representatives of the youth membership organization to provide information about organization to pupils during the school day. Examples of these federally charted chartered youth membership organizations are Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, etc. Uh Senate Bill 58 um relates to referendum questions. Among other things, the referendum question must contain a statement
044of the purpose for which bonds are to be issued and the maximum amount of the bonds to be issued under the bill. The question must also provide all the following. Um the estimated interest rate and amount of interest occurring on the bonds. Any fees will be incurred if the bonds are defeated. a good faith estimate of the dollar amount difference in property taxes on a median valued single family residence located in the local governmental unit that would result from the passage of the referendum. Um Senate Bill 22, Assembly Bill Five, um is a bill requires a school board to comply with a school district resident's written request to inspect a textbook, curriculum, or instructional material within 14 days. Um, Senate Bill 81, um, eliminates recurring operating referenda and limits a non-recurring operating referenda to no
045more than four years. Um, and the final thing, uh, state supreme court issued its highly anticipated decision ruling in favor of the governor's use of his partial veto authority to raise revenue limits $325 per pupil per year until 2425. Regardless of what vehicle to issue, the case is closed on this particular partial bill. Major question now is where does this $325 per pupil increase come from? Partial veto does not put another $325 per student of state funds into the school district's coffers. Instead, the decision will now fall to the local school boards to decide if they want to increase levies to take advantage of this new revenue authority. Legislators concerned about property taxes can minimize the impact, but they will need to allocate more money and equalization aid to school districts to do this. Whether
046they are willing to do that as part of this state budget debate remains to be seen. And that is my report for May. Thank you. play Trevor.
