The debate matters because it will determine how the district measures and reports wellness-related outcomes, what the superintendent is asked to monitor and report, and how the board integrates equity-focused measures into district goals.

Board member Nathan presented comparative practices from other Wisconsin districts and noted some districts treat wellness as competencies taught in coursework; he also highlighted that the federal nutrition/physical wellness requirements (the district’s existing wellness policy) are not fully aligned with life‑readiness-style indicators. Several board members expressed concern about measuring behaviors (sleep, exercise) that are largely outside school control and preferred measures tied to curriculum and demonstrated student learning or clear compliance requirements.

Members discussed candidate indicators used by peer districts: coursework completion (e.g., percent of students earning a C or better in health classes), attendance, rates of participation in extracurricular activities, survey results (with caution about mismatched purpose and tool design), and whether the district should track growth vs. achievement. Multiple board members suggested life‑readiness attributes might be better captured in R‑2 (results) or through a portrait-of-a-graduate approach but agreed the precise indicators need refinement.

The board reached consensus to have administration produce a written proposal with a clear recommendation — including a decision on whether wellness items should be OEs (operational expectations) or results policy — and to return to the board at the first March meeting with a markup. The administration also agreed to coordinate the wellness indicators work with the upcoming extracurriculars workshop (scheduled for Monday, Feb. 24, 6:00–7:30 p.m., per board discussion) to avoid duplication.

On related governance business, the board took a formal vote on OE‑6 monitoring. The motion to accept OE‑6 as compliant with noted exceptions passed by voice vote; the board directed administration to remove or reword an indicator (6.6 in the draft) that asked the superintendent to submit a report on each board member, recommending instead the matter be handled under board bylaws or a separate board governance process. The board will bring proposed language back for consideration in a future meeting and will confirm where a superintendent role in board relations reporting should sit.

Finally, the board approved the consent agenda by voice vote. Several board members noted the district will return to R‑2 revisions (academic indicators) for formal consent once the redlined version is finalized and the administration has integrated board feedback on achievement benchmarks and desegregation of data for equity monitoring.

The presentation matters because the district is in budget season and is aligning resource allocation and professional learning to observed student needs. Laurie emphasized that assessment snapshots inform teacher teams’ weekly work, coaching and targeted interventions rather than being used as a single, definitive diagnosis.

Laurie told the board that the district is implementing literacy screening required by state legislation referenced in the meeting (Act 20) and using AIMSweb screening tools in grades K–3; the superintendent said screening prompts personal reading plans and parental notifications for students who qualify. The meeting record notes administrators reviewing a district screener round and that screening metrics are only one data point among others used by reading specialists and classroom teachers.

District data lead (Mike) and other administrators described FastBridge reading and math snapshots. Laurie said the district looks for patterns across grade levels and that fall-to-winter comparisons are short windows; spring‑to‑spring growth is a more meaningful measure. On the FastBridge snapshots, the district’s internal goal is to have more than 80% of students in each achievement category, and the board discussed growth percentiles and what constitutes typical growth.

Administrators also presented high‑school readiness data: pre‑ACT/ACT data, attendance charts and a D/F list used by counselors to flag credit recovery needs. Laurie and staff reported that roughly 94.5% of district students attend regularly; the board raised concern that nearly one‑third of 10th and 12th graders appeared on the D/F list, prompting discussion about whether grades reflect missing work, course mastery or outside factors.

The district said it will continue to disaggregate achievement and growth data by race, multilingual status and IEP status to monitor equity priorities; the board identified black students and students with disabilities as current focus groups for continuous‑improvement work. Administrators also flagged that small subgroup sizes can make some disaggregated bars appear missing or misleading and cautioned against overinterpreting single snapshots.

Other items from the superintendent’s report included recognition of the shorewood mock trial team advancing to state in March, the SHS boys swim team finishing second in the Woodland Conference, National School Counseling Week acknowledgements, upcoming community events (winter musical and Black History Month programming) and outreach regarding a state-level bill on personal device policies.

Board members asked about comparisons to other districts for Act 20 screening results; staff said there is not yet a statewide snapshot comparable to the DPI forward exam, but administrators are informally sharing results with peer districts as the tools are new to everyone.

District next steps described in the meeting: continue weekly teacher team (c3) meetings, expand teacher access to the NextPath data platform (February 17 PD), pilot IXL math at SIS, and have principals and specialists refine groupings and interventions based on multiple data points rather than single tests.

The awards matter because they create formal credentials for students’ language skills and global learning at a time when the district is emphasizing equity and expanded pathways. Board members and administrators said the programs give multilingual students a way to document the academic value of their home languages and cross-cultural experiences.

Principal Kenny introduced program leads and student representatives and noted the scale of the effort: 11 students will receive Global Scholars certificates this year and 11 students will receive the state Seal of Biliteracy, while an additional three to four students will receive a global seal through exchange programs.

Madame Jacques Hart and co‑chair Roxanne Tibbets described the district’s Global Pathways framework, which now includes three components: Global Scholars, the Wisconsin State Seal of Biliteracy and an international/global seal available through partnerships with AFS and CIEE. The district plans a separate awards ceremony this year because participation has grown.

Student speaker Santi (last name provided in meeting record as Santi) described the seal and Global Scholars work from a student perspective: the seal requires students to demonstrate proficiency in both English and a home language and to present on navigating “two worlds.” He said the credential recognizes more than common world languages — it can include ASL and Indigenous languages — and that he has advocated for the seal at the federal level.

Santi said Global Scholars promotes reflection on personal cultural experience and cited classroom reading and projects that shaped his thinking; he also described personal experiences in Peru and Germany that informed his language development and cultural perspective. Board members praised the student testimony and thanked staff who support the programs.

Administrators confirmed that students may earn the state seal by demonstrating proficiency via AP exams or other validated assessments and that global seals are awarded through external exchange program assessments. The district will publish details for families about eligibility and future recognition events.

School leaders noted several students receive both the scholar certificate and a seal, and they encouraged community members to attend upcoming recognition events and the district’s winter musical and Black History Month programming.

Evidence from the meeting: the recognitions and the student presentation were presented during the student achievement portion of the meeting.
