What passed:
- The board approved the consent agenda, which the president summarized as including March 12 and March 17 meeting minutes, bill payments, donations, the personnel report, a special-education consulting services resolution, an occupational therapy (OT) services agreement, and student services agreements for language and math teachers. Donations announced included $1,000 each to the technology and engineering program from Dorner Manufacturing and Urban Manufacturing.

- The board approved three separate endowment-fund actions: (1) consent to appoint directors for the Arrowhead High School Endowment Fund; (2) approval of the endowment fund’s articles and bylaws (established February 2004); and (3) consent for the endowment fund board of directors to appoint officers. Each motion was moved, seconded and approved during the meeting with a voice vote of ayes and no recorded roll-call dissent.

Votes and procedure: motions for each item were moved and seconded; the meeting record shows voice votes of \"Aye\" with the chair declaring the motion carried for each action. The minutes do not include a roll-call tally or named yes/no votes for these motions.

Ending: Board leadership said the endowment approvals will facilitate collaboration with the Arrowhead Endowment Fund; no additional finance actions were taken that evening.

During the public-comment period, resident Jane Owen said the district’s capital referendum had failed and pressed the board on several items including enrollment trends, rising operations referendum costs, and a newly installed Flock license-plate-reading system. Owen said the system was \"the most invasive surveillance system there is\" and demanded its immediate removal: \"I personally demand the immediate removal of the entire flock system, the mounting, the solar panels, the cords, everything from this campus.\"

A district administrator responded that the recent hardware installation was not a functional deployment but an assessment of connectivity; the administrator said no operational use had occurred and that an email to the resident dated March 14 provided notice. The administrator also said the power light on the device is on and therefore it appears operational until proven otherwise.

Other public commenters offered local solutions for repairs and fundraising: one resident described a $10,000 repair plan for tile and mold issues at South Campus and said community volunteers would donate time and materials; another noted that Lake Country School District raised more than $80,000 quickly to retain a music teacher and suggested replicating community fundraising.

Enrollment figures were disputed during comment: one speaker said the district’s enrollment head count is 1,951 while another referenced a resident-member count of 1,758; the board did not resolve the discrepancy in the meeting.

Ending: President Schubert said he would seek board feedback on scheduling a workshop to chart the district’s next steps on facilities and messaging; no formal board action on the camera system or the volunteer repair offers occurred at the meeting.

","Board members thanked staff after a failed referendum and said they will schedule a workshop to plan next steps.

Chairman Miller told the committee the structural engineering firm’s preliminary letter gave “comfort that the pool will be safe enough to fill.” The engineering firm had been asked for a written report; committee members were told a final draft was expected within two to three weeks from the end of spring break (the committee referenced March 31 as the start of that clock).

The committee asked facilities staff to track pool losses and costs closely. Committee discussion raised differing estimates of the pool’s current water-loss rate; a staff member said the refill frequency in normal condition should be about 4–7 days per 1,000-gallon loss, but current reads suggested losses every 1–2 days. Facilities staff said they would verify meter readings and report back.

The committee also asked for periodic reports on day-to-day costs (chemical and refill costs) and a quarterly report on areas of concern in the facility to identify whether problems are worsening.

Background and community context: public comment earlier in the meeting included a resident’s inspection-based estimate of needed pool repairs (the resident cited four valves priced at about $2,500 each). The resident urged that some repairs could be handled with donated labor and local contractors rather than large contract bids; the board did not adopt that proposal at the meeting.

Ending: The committee set a follow-up discussion for its April 28 meeting and said it would meet sooner if the final structural report identifies urgent repairs.

The presenter summarized WASBO’s recommendations: make special-education categorical aid “sum sufficient” rather than a fixed pot, target special-education reimbursement near 60 percent instead of the roughly 30–33 percent the district currently receives, and raise the state’s low revenue ceiling to reduce inequities among districts.

WASBO materials shown to the board said Arrowhead’s current state aid per pupil is $11,395 this year; private-school voucher funding is roughly $13,000 per pupil for regular education and about $15,000–$16,000 for many special-education voucher students. The presenter said the state’s special-education reimbursement was about 32.4 percent in 2023–24 and was estimated near 30.5 percent for the current year because the program is funded out of a fixed pot rather than as a sum-sufficient appropriation.

Why it matters: board members and district staff said the shortfall for special education is paid from the district’s general fund, reducing money available for operations and building maintenance. The presenter and board members urged public outreach to legislators, noting the state budget process and joint finance public hearings as places for residents to voice priorities.

Supporting details and context: WASBO’s slides (described to the board during the meeting) showed that revenue limits in Wisconsin were intended to be adjusted for inflation but have not been consistently indexed since 2009, creating an ‘‘inflation gap’’ many districts now cover with referendums. The group recommended an inflationary increase to the revenue limit (an example figure was discussed in the presentation), plus raising the low revenue ceiling to a higher per-pupil floor to reduce funding disparities between wealthy and low-wealth districts.

Board members and staff discussed related topics following the presentation, including open-enrollment and voucher impacts, the district’s special-education costs (the board reported approximately $2,000,000 yearly in special-education expenses that draw only about 30% state reimbursement), and the value of public testimony at legislative hearings.

The presentation was long (the presenter referenced a 65-slide packet prepared by WASBO) and board members said it will inform upcoming budget and advocacy work.

Ending: The board did not vote on policy changes at the meeting. District leaders said they will use the WASBO findings in the district’s budget planning and encouraged community members to contact legislators and attend public budget hearings to press for higher, more predictable state funding.
