The discussion concluded with direction to return a simplified results statement and to consider moving operational indicators into Operating Expectations.

Board member Nathan and others expressed concern about relying heavily on self‑report student surveys to measure outcomes. Nathan said the board must balance what is reasonable to measure and asked, “What do we want to know? What do we want to see that would lead us to that overarching result under wellness?”

Director Kate Harter described the district's current approach to social‑emotional screening and use of surveys and teacher observations. She explained the MySavers student survey (administered multiple times per year) and the teacher SABERS instrument, noting the district used MySavers last year and plans to administer it three times this year to look for patterns and, where needed, target prevention and intervention supports. She told the board, “the teacher Sabers would begin at kindergarten…teachers would respond about all students that they have.”

Several board members and student representatives said they preferred a concise results statement that emphasizes culture and supports rather than complex numeric targets; one board member noted a 2019 policy used in a recent freshman orientation presentation that was short and focused on supports and culture. Members discussed whether wellness indicators belong in a results policy or instead as operating expectations the administration reports against.

By the end of the discussion the board directed staff to return either a very pared‑back results policy or to fold measurable elements into Operating Expectations; administrators and board members agreed to crosswalk existing OEs and the proposed R4 language and bring back recommended placement and suggested indicators at a future meeting.

Ending: Staff will map current assessment tools (MySavers and teacher SABERS), existing operating expectations and the proposed R4 language and return recommendations to the board for consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Shorewood School District Meeting January 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board continued discussion of a proposed R4 wellness results policy, with members and students urging a simpler, culture‑focused approach; administrators said existing MySavers and teacher SABERS tools can inform operational decisions and staff will return with a pared‑down proposal or options to place measures in Operating Expectations.","taxTitle","Shorewood School District, School Districts, Wisconsin","taxId",58417,"location","Wisconsin","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6067362,"Shorewood rolls out Raptor visitor system and plans safety review, tabletop exercises with police",475,788000,1263000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3137538-03a1fe91da78d78dcb211602419c0c39&start=788&end=1263","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3137538-03a1fe91da78d78dcb211602419c0c39/thumbnail_788000.jpg","/articles/6067362/Wisconsin/Shorewood-rolls-out-Raptor-visitor-system-and-plans-safety-review-tabletop-exercises-with-police","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6067362-6c5302c53b960717805df8ff55d327b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770548571&Signature=H6JTLyLJA-fiWoGbKkuR8Cn1~oUGvMQrhhO520Ff1zVJSiWfN~pjsj6UrhlrP7eUJomz37TfDJTJtibGVJqDCZHp9yUvOt9W6TDQI6I4ly50CtHSMBZBJ424jYyLsoCFh7xqffxPf9f~deTPZnQSPxQQQovRxFpxXMcYy-9yWWPBVg-WqIVTQMfkEPgMygWsamCLvpPWZyhMvGF3v6JM4RMqJEqqeT-iE1qYoF1KG0CXugyUuYnKdTraNYB5XORBcGnBur6UrLWv4yTLTTMBPuOAyS8vy0XrDm9Zd3WBq5Bgpe6n91vNqE5HFSQcRdsuz6h0sG-ZxGiPrmePDYj-vw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the superintendent's report the board heard several safety updates: the district has launched the Raptor visitor management system, will review its district safety plan later this spring with community participation, and plans to run tabletop emergency exercises with the Shorewood Police Department.

Dr. Burgos told the board the district shared guidance with staff and families about implementation and other state actions affecting schools, then briefed members on the Raptor visitor management launch: “We also launched this Monday the use of the Raptor visitor management system. And so we are asking visitors who will whose visits will extend beyond the school office to show a photo ID and sign in and sign out at the office. It's another layer of safety.”

In response to a board question, district staff explained Raptor performs a check of a valid photo ID, conducts a background check against the registered offender database and, if a match appears, the administrative assistant is notified so a principal can follow up. Staff stated that, “By statute, if someone is a registered *** offender, they need to share their plans or their desire to visit campus with us ahead of time,” and that contractors will also be required to sign in and display a badge while in student areas.

Board members asked whether Raptor changed door‑access controls and learned the current rollout covers visitor checks and printed visitor badges; staff said building door‑locking and automated fob scheduling are under discussion and will be addressed by a planned safety committee later in the spring. The superintendent said she would like to move toward programming exterior doors to open only during specific windows and lock outside those times, but that logistics across multiple buildings must be considered.

Ending: Board members asked about board badges and background checks for trustees; staff said arrangements for board credentials were possible and would be handled through the business office.","Superintendent Dr. Burgos announced the district began using the Raptor visitor management system, will review its safety plan this spring, and plans tabletop exercises with the Shorewood Police Department; the board discussed badges for visitors and possible door‑locking schedules tied to a new fob system.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6067368,"Shorewood board approves 14 new open‑enrollment seats, confirms 220 continuing open‑enrollment students",1027,3002000,4029000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3137538-03a1fe91da78d78dcb211602419c0c39&start=3002&end=4029","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3137538-03a1fe91da78d78dcb211602419c0c39/thumbnail_3002000.jpg","/articles/6067368/Wisconsin/Shorewood-board-approves-14-new-openenrollment-seats-confirms-220-continuing-openenrollment-students","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6067368-7a1243c2645050d9cb873c3787d13e58/orig.mp4?Expires=1770548571&Signature=YmZOh8oYghpf1umGc1GN7w6ObHWC5lSM4kDz6U8VA7A5VdDo40GjyJN1RXiE07PndW5E~wIotyvPLetwrNk1tQRoV32Ya4UXAAGcpgMsNUytWsQ91Oq8JgmBBiEO3RfR6707VlcZUd0MwjR1Oahf8V8Q2IRvFAi2cuDPk-~n1BvGIFdWNMKzoe-cMuSa-9Aiv2qTqQXq8x6cBvnUptqfi8LrZbK-s6SadyMxZDNErgIrl2HhmPEkVo-UZStL9ljfs8vqJD~zWiX55qxpjAuECDCWzUorpSf6j-is8jPgp-dFPmtcu7yBQP33Zom7qr8JMh~~VcNmmzxmMpsnmPMlBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shorewood School Board voted to approve the district's open‑enrollment recommendation for the 2025–26 school year, opening 14 new seats and continuing enrollment for 220 existing open‑enrollment students.

District staff read the motion into the record: “I will take a motion to approve the district's open enrollment recommendation, including the opening of 14 open enrollment seats in the following grade levels: K‑4, 0; K‑5, 9; 1st, 0; 2nd, 3; 3rd, not specified; 4th, not specified; 5th, not specified; 6th, not specified; 7th, not specified; 8th, 0; 9th, 2; 10th–12th, 0. The recommendation also included the opening of 0 seats across all special education programs, continuation of enrollment for the 220 open enrollment students in grades K‑4 through 11 who were enrolled on or before 09/20/2024, and granting preference to the siblings of current students for seats made available as new open enrollment seats.”

Director Kate Harter explained the special education side, saying the district determines seats by current service levels and staff‑to‑student ratios. She told the board that, given staffing and projected needs, special education open‑enrollment seats were set at zero for cross‑categorical occupational therapy and speech and language and that contracted services remain separate from open‑enrollment seats.

Board members asked operational questions about how seats are handled if an open‑enrollment student withdraws; staff explained seats generally remain reserved until a formal withdrawal and late availability often prevents the district from offering vacated seats in the same cycle.

The board approved the motion by voice vote. The motion and seat counts presented in the meeting packet were read into the record; where the transcript did not capture every numeric breakdown the motion text above marks those entries as “not specified.”

Ending: Staff will proceed to implement the approved open‑enrollment plan and continue processing sibling preferences and the 220 continuing open‑enrollment students for next year.","The board approved a staff recommendation to open 14 new open‑enrollment seats for 2025–26, confirmed continuation of 220 existing open‑enrollment students, and adopted sibling preference for any newly available seats; the seat counts by grade were provided in the motion with some grade counts not specified in the transcript.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6067372,"Shorewood board accepts auditors' report, auditor urges stronger written procedures and higher reserve policy",372,1391000,1763000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3137538-03a1fe91da78d78dcb211602419c0c39&start=1391&end=1763","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3137538-03a1fe91da78d78dcb211602419c0c39/thumbnail_1391000.jpg","/articles/6067372/Wisconsin/Shorewood-board-accepts-auditors-report-auditor-urges-stronger-written-procedures-and-higher-reserve-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6067372-e8d3d29fe7cab4872e2ff35d9449f729/orig.mp4?Expires=1770548571&Signature=bUe3sIyYuxqKAPBIQZRM5JfLjHkhb9SinOBmm~~byASCM-LkRXa5P06M3npYSpki8jP-Xww3WtskoiJrprgyV0fESnk4uEJ22HktLIMjOC2iLCP7bJOwKHu8ZytjDYNTjl0fVMtpxVoebYByhfnFgNEryucMsw0BKAG6FVbdJRolpL8w-8f6w-7y88lsTBUsRkbr4b56HP2NdvapElMFTGLlcZ7q7vqYzmzp5Jax3zivCxOnxofZm2X7GVsYoUM4f8RXVHT~n6ypEp5~2cu119hDMlHyiJTYaJwpSjgK8sxA7QECfrDL8PnXz3Bv9mT1p78pyF~10D7HxYI6Fznq3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Shorewood School Board members voted to accept the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, after a presentation from Amber Juriske of CLA, the district's auditors.

Juriske told the board, “In summary, we issued an unmodified clean opinion on the financial statements.” She said auditors found no compliance issues on federal or state programs and no disagreements with management, but flagged one finding related to financial statement preparation and recommended continued strengthening of written policies and internal controls.

The auditor reviewed the district's fund balances and long‑term obligations. Juriske reported the district's general fund balance at “just over 10,200,000.0,” and noted that referendum debt service held about $3,000,000 in restricted funds. Other fund balances reported as of June 30, 2024, included a capital expansion balance of about $1,500,000, capital projects of about $440,000, community service of about $987,000, donations totaling roughly $612,000 and food service at about $573,000. Short‑term obligations were reported at about $3,600,000 and long‑term obligations just shy of $60,000,000; interest paid in 2024 was described as just under $2,000,000.

Juriske recommended the board consider increasing the district's minimum fund balance policy above the current 10% floor, suggesting a target more in the 25%–40% range to reduce the need for short‑term borrowing and to provide flexibility for capital and insurance changes. She also highlighted forthcoming changes in federal uniform guidance effective for awards on or after Oct. 1, 2024, including an increased single‑audit threshold, a higher equipment capitalization threshold, an optional de minimis indirect cost rate, and new cybersecurity internal control expectations.

Board members asked several follow‑ups about the budget‑to‑actual variances. Juriske said common causes for material variances include open staffing positions and delayed maintenance projects, and she identified unusually high interest earnings in fiscal 2024 as a factor boosting revenues relative to budget.

The board voted to accept the audit. No separate action was required on the auditor’s finding aside from acknowledging the recommendation that the district continue to document and update written financial procedures.

Ending: The board asked staff to include a winter data snapshot and related budget implications at the February meeting; auditors and district staff said they would continue follow‑up outside the meeting on the single, corrected finding and on implementing recommended control documentation.","The Shorewood School Board accepted a clean audit opinion for the year ended June 30, 2024, heard auditors recommend strengthening written procedures and consider a higher fund balance policy, and reviewed key fund balances and debt levels.","actionData","errors"]
