Key approvals
- CESA 1 agreement for services: motion to approve passed (motion moved and seconded; board voice vote: motion passes).
- Multiple sets of NEOLA policy revisions: the board approved several rounds of NEOLA policy updates recommended by the policy committee; motions carried by voice vote.
- New policy (policy 54‑11, required by Act 20): the board approved the new policy after an amendment to remove a drafting note; the amendment and amended motion passed by voice vote.
- Warrior Pathway programming at Muskego High School: the board approved updated MHS programming for the 2026–27 school year, replacing the district’s prior AVID structure with a locally tailored Warrior Pathway program; motion passed by voice vote.
- ELA fifth‑grade resource adoption for 2025–26: the board approved adopting the identified fifth‑grade ELA resource to align with K–4 materials in use; motion passed by voice vote.
- Gifts, grants and bequests: the board approved acceptance of a number of donations with thanks. Items read into the record included (as presented):
- Mill Valley Elementary — $700 from American Heart Association (Kids Heart Challenge)
- Muskegon High School Girls Basketball — $5,678.79 from Muskegon Girls Basketball Association Inc.

The board accepted the listed donations “with thanks.”

Board membership and oaths
- Christopher Zelliga and Lori B. Cockney were administered the oath of office after the board canvass; the clerk read the oath and presented certificates of election.

Closed sessions for personnel matters
- Early in the meeting the board voted to go into closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment matters “specifically associate principal hire.” The chair called for a vote and the motion carried (voice/roll call as recorded in the meeting). Several board members verbally recorded “yes” during the roll call.
- Near the end of the meeting the board again voted to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider teacher contract non‑renewals and other personnel evaluation data. The motion to go into closed session carried on a roll call; board members recorded affirmative votes (names recorded in the meeting roll call: Bob — yes; Terry — yes; Marie — yes; Tracy — yes; Kevin — yes).

Procedure and context
Most of the business items and policy revisions were presented by committees and carried without extended public discussion; motions were moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Where the transcript records a roll call (the two closed‑session votes and the final roll call), individual board members’ affirmative votes are recorded in the meeting minutes as noted above.

Why it matters: the policy updates and curriculum adoptions define district rules and instructional materials; accepted donations support extracurriculars and programs; closed sessions indicate personnel decisions that the board considered behind closed doors under the state statute governing personnel deliberations.

What’s next: policies approved will be incorporated into district policy records; the library plan was scheduled separately to be forwarded to the ESE committee; any formal personnel actions resulting from closed sessions were not read into the open record at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","MNS School Board Meeting 04/14/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Muskego‑Norway School District board approved a CESA 1 service agreement, multiple NEOLA policy revisions (including an Act 20‑required policy), new Warrior Pathway programming, a fifth‑grade ELA resource, and accepted donations.

Technology staff summarized recent equipment installs, phone and network upgrades and cybersecurity monitoring.

Detmar said the library plan uses the national Future Ready Librarian framework to organize work around “learner‑centered literacy,” with the district proposal to the Educational Services (ESE) committee spelling out collection development and instructional supports. District libraries follow Administrative Guideline 25‑22a when acquiring print and digital materials, Detmar said, and students in third grade and up already have 24/7 access to digital books via Sora; the district is working to extend Sora access for kindergarten through second grade by the end of the school year.

The librarians described how physical collections are organized by genre and color‑coded so students have a consistent experience across elementary, middle and high schools, and they highlighted “passive programming” (makerspace-type activities, weekly featured activities, and age‑appropriate offerings at the elementary level) as a way to engage students outside formal instruction. The librarians also described curated online landing pages of databases for different class projects and regular digital‑citizenship lessons delivered during library time.

When asked about monitoring digital content, Detmar said Sora is configured by student grade band and librarians curate which titles each band can access. She said parents can use student credentials to view what a child has borrowed in Sora and that library staff control grade‑level access: “Sora knows what grade level that child is at,” Detmar said.

On technology, district staff (technology staff member identified as Brad in the meeting) summarized work completed after the district’s recent referendum: dozens of new computers and labs, nearly 50 flat‑panel displays, additional network switches and roughly 40 wireless access points to extend coverage, and a districtwide phone replacement. Brad said the district also finished a migration to an EVAC phone system and highlighted expected operating savings (amount not specified for verification in the meeting record).

Brad reported the IT help desk handled roughly 1,182 requests this year with an average response time of about 21 hours. He said the district recorded 46 cybersecurity “events” this year that were investigated and contained; none of the incidents rose to the level of a district outage. He attributed the district’s protection to layered defenses — staff education, multifactor authentication, endpoint detection and an enterprise firewall system — and provided firewall statistics attributed to the current monitoring window: roughly 99,000 blocked inbound attempts, about 2,600 VPN login attempts and over 1 million vulnerability probes in the cited period. Brad called education a target for cyber criminals and said the district will update its incident response plan this year, pursue an improved mass‑notification/communications platform, and start a multi‑year network infrastructure replacement cycle.

The librarians and technology staff asked the board for approval to forward the library plan to the ESE committee and for continued support of scheduled IT projects. No formal board action on the library plan occurred at the presentation; the technology report was an informational update.

Why it matters: library curation and the district’s approach to digital access affect what students can read and how parents can review materials; the technology investments and cybersecurity posture shape classroom reliability and the district’s exposure to online threats.

What’s next: the district said it will present the library plan to the ESE committee and continue phased Sora rollout for K–2. IT listed near‑term goals: an updated incident response plan, a new communications platform, and a switch/infrastructure replacement cycle.","District librarians described a learner‑centered library plan and Sora digital‑collection controls while technology staff reported device, network and cybersecurity statistics and planned infrastructure upgrades.","actionData","errors"]
