Key outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript:

- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, which included approval of the meeting agenda and minutes, financial reports for February and March 2025, bills and ACH payments, overnight travel requests, district new hires, and retirement/resignation reports. The motion to approve was moved by Bobby Brown; individual abstentions on certain checks were recorded but a full vote carried as presented (tally not specified in the transcript).

- Start College Now applications: The board approved Start College Now applications for the fall 2025 semester. Administration reported 56 students enrolled for the fall, a marked increase from previous years. The motion passed; the transcript records the motion carried but does not list a numerical tally.

- Antigo High School course handbook updates: Trustees approved recommended updates to the Antigo High School course catalog. The motion carried; the board recorded approval in the meeting without a vote tally in the transcript.

- High school gym floor resurfacing: The board approved a contract with Basement Brothers for gym floor resurfacing in the amount of $66,071, pending the contractor meeting the district’s scheduling requirements. The motion carried.

- Donations: The board approved several community donations: $5,000 from Covantage Cares Foundation for the Aquatic Center; $500 from Kautza Excavating LLC for 4K and first-grade classes at West Elementary; and $1,000 from Brickner’s for the auto service tech program. The motion to accept donations passed.

Where the transcript recorded tallies, the Start College Now and course-catalog votes were recorded as passed; several later items recorded explicit tallies (for example, the April 21 instruction-day motion recorded 8–1). For items where the transcript did not provide a numerical roll-call summary, the meeting minutes note the motions carried.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting 3-17-2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its meeting the Unified School District of Antigo board approved the consent agenda, Start College Now applications for fall 2025, recommended updates to the Antigo High School course catalog, basement-gym resurfacing contract, and several community donations.

The board’s discussion focused on clarifying contract language about student contact hours, parent outreach documentation, and an enrollment cap noted in the contract.

Jill Maddock Nelson moved the motion to approve the contract. Administration said the contract language was reviewed and cleaned up before presenting to the board so both parties would have a clear set of expectations. The district noted All Saints had requested a 6% tuition increase and an option for a full-day program in earlier discussions; those requests were not adopted in the version the board approved. The contract retains the district’s per-pupil payment of $1,118.

Administration also told the board it will require documented parent outreach activities and student contact time so the district can meet membership-audit requirements for the 4K program. Miss Stutzriem (director of curriculum and instruction) and other administrators explained that the requirement for tracking outreach is necessary in case of a state audit and that All Saints had not previously been asked to document some of those items.

The contract language includes a 20-student cap that administration said has appeared in past contracts but was not consistently enforced. Administration said if the board adopts a contract, the district should follow the written contract terms going forward and will sit down with All Saints’ leadership to align documentation and expectations.

Administration described a continuing partnership with All Saints that includes Title services provided by the district; staff said they have sometimes provided additional Title support to All Saints when needs required it. The board chair noted the relationship with All Saints has been cooperative and that final contract execution would proceed once All Saints reviews and signs it.

The motion: approve the 2025–26 4K contract between the Unified School District of Antigo and All Saints for one year. Outcome: approved (8 in favor, 1 abstention).","The board approved the 2025–26 4K contract with All Saints for one year.

The board voted to approve Lamers; the motion carried as recorded in the meeting minutes.

District staff said three qualified contractors submitted bids after the district reached out broadly: Lamers, Malliotts (the incumbent contractor), and a third large operator. Transportation director remarks at the meeting highlighted several reasons Lamers was recommended: proximity of Lamers’ depots to the district, an expanded roster of spare buses and parts close by, and software features that include a parent app and electronic on/off swiping for students. Those technology features would allow families to see bus location and would let drivers and dispatchers track riders more precisely.

Staff also discussed industrywide cost pressures. The presenter noted that the price of school buses and parts has increased substantially in recent years and insurance costs have risen; those market changes contributed to higher bids than would have been expected a few years ago.

Lamers’ bid included an offer to provide motor-coach upgrades for athletic and activity trips at approximately half the usual market cost, a benefit board members said could lower travel costs for district booster clubs and extracurricular programs.

Board members who spoke praised Malliotts’ long service to the district and thanked its owners and drivers for years of service. The administration said Malliotts had decided to exit or scale back operations and that industry consolidation and purchasing power among larger companies were factors in the district’s bidder pool.

The motion: approve Lamers as the district’s transportation contractor.

The motion passed 8–1 on a voice/roll-call vote during the board’s public meeting.

Board members debated at length before the final vote. Jill Maddock Nelson moved the main motion to convert April 21 to an instructional day, saying the district committee recommended using that date to make up time lost to weather and illness. ‘‘It was recommended by committee to bring it to the full board,’’ Maddock Nelson said when making the motion.

The board considered, then rejected, a substitute motion that would have moved make-up days to the end of the school calendar year. That substitute motion failed by the recorded count reported in the meeting: eight votes against and one in favor. After the substitute motion failed, the board returned to the main motion and approved converting April 21 to an instructional day, with eight in favor and one opposed.

Members said the decision was prompted by the district having already used more snow days than budgeted. Several trustees expressed concern about making April 21 an instructional day because it falls the day after Easter and some families and staff may have already planned travel. Board member Angie Schreiber said she worried families and staff would have planned a longer holiday weekend and therefore attendance could be low. ‘‘My only concern with moving this to an instructional day is it’s the day after Easter,’’ Schreiber said during debate.

District administration told the board that adding the make-up day at the end of the year would require staff and scheduling adjustments and could push the school year later into summer. Superintendent Mrs. Ojinski explained the district’s earlier practice and staffing considerations, saying the district had discussed virtual instruction as an option but had not implemented virtual snow days districtwide.

Board member Dr. Dave Barto noted that the school board does not decide whether a day is a snow day but does set make-up days. ‘‘Snow days are the most difficult decision that a district administrator has to make. And let me just make this known publicly. The school board has no say in snow days. But we do with makeup days,’’ Barto said.

The board chair confirmed the motion could be revisited later if additional snow days occur. After the vote, trustees discussed operational concerns — staffing, attendance, and bus scheduling — and administration said it would work with school staff to limit hardship for employees who made travel plans based on the original calendar.

The motion: convert April 21, 2025, from a nonattendance day to an instructional day. Outcome: approved, 8–1. The meeting record shows the substitute motion to move excess snow days to the end of the school year failed (8 against, 1 in favor).","After more than an hour of debate and a failed substitute motion to push makeups to the end of the year, the Unified School District of Antigo board approved converting April 21, 2025, from a planned nonattendance day into an instructional day.
