Board members voted by voice on each item. The academic standards were approved with a change to include Wisconsin standards for physical education on the materials the district posts online. \"So when this goes on to our website, which it does, we will have an eighth component, which is the Wisconsin standards for physical education,\" a staff presenter said.

Athletics: the junior- and senior-high athletic handbooks were updated to include guidance and links about NIL (name, image and likeness) consistent with state language; a staff member thanked Mike for updating the handbook materials. Student and staff handbooks were approved by voice vote as routine annual updates.

Expulsion hearing officers and policy reviews: the board approved Steven Pufall and Renee Sabe as expulsion hearing officers and readopted policy 56.10.01 as part of that action. The reading curriculum report required by policy 21.31.01 was presented as information only; staff summarized goals and adjustments made in early literacy and kindergarten reading readiness.

Title I and annual policy: the board completed its annual review and approval of policy 22.61.01 as required for Title I compliance.

Ending: each item passed by voice vote with no opposed votes recorded during the meeting. Board members did not request further substantive revisions at this time.

Jason Jablonski and facilities staff compiled the plan using principal walk-throughs and user-group feedback, and the document included projects completed in 2024-25 so the board has a historical record of recent work. The plan covers capital projects that Fund 46 will support and notes additional projects covered by the Fund 10 capital budget.

Board discussion touched on project timing and procurement. Superintendent Dr. Nye told the board the district is monitoring a procurement challenge that has affected the receipt and installation schedule for gym bleachers; staff said they remain optimistic about delivery. The plan also includes behind-the-scenes safety and technology upgrades, including door badge and camera replacements.

Outcome: a motion to approve the plan passed by voice vote.

Ending: board members thanked the facilities team and were informed that the plan will be posted with more detailed facility-study information and principal feedback as the district continues planning and project scheduling.

Mel Dow, associate director of the WIAA, told the DC Everest School Board the association could not find an existing female wrestler figurine for its girls'wrestling championship trophy and worked with DC Everest students and staff to develop one. \"Your students conceived, modeled, designed, fabricated the prototype in, into your classrooms,\" Dow said. \"This prototype and the CAD drawings they developed made their way to the same foundry that makes awards similar to the Oscars.\"

Steve (school staff lead) and students Derek Prince, Nathan Prince and Haley served as the school-side team. School staff described the process as starting when a coach reached out to the district's fabrication program; students modeled the figurine and produced CAD drawings that became the master sent to the foundry. A student who modeled for the figurine attended the meeting and was acknowledged by WIAA representatives.

Why it matters: board members and WIAA leaders described the project as a hands-on example of career- and technical-education work that connected classroom learning, fabrication skills and statewide athletics.

Outcome: the presentation was ceremonial; the board recognized the students and staff with applause and accepted the WIAA's acknowledgment.

Ending: Board members asked staff to reintroduce the students and praised the collaboration between the athletics community and the district's fabrication/technology program.

Dr. Nye, superintendent, said the state's special-education reimbursement will be higher than earlier projections, with roughly 42% in year one and 45% in year two, compared with a lower figure the district had feared in July. \"Ultimately, the increase in special ed funding is a step in the right direction,\" Dr. Nye said. \"At the same time, it's quickly offset by rapidly expanding expenses.\"

The superintendent described a short-term increase and longer-term cut in state mental-health funding to schools: \"That will move up to $40 per student from the current $31 per student. But then in year 2, we'll be down to $12 per student,\" he said.

Why it matters: the district relies on a mix of state reimbursements, federal grants and local transfers to cover special-education costs. Dr. Nye said the district transfers money from its general fund (Fund 10) into Fund 27 to cover special-education expenses; he estimated the transfer this year will be \"probably a little under $8,000,000.\" That transfer and other local budget choices will determine how the district absorbs new expense pressures.

Dr. Nye also told the board the state has joined other states in litigation to preserve certain federal Title funds and that the outcome is uncertain. \"Beginning last week, [we] put out some communication to our leaders just to dial up some cautionary adjustments. The simple version of that is to stop spending on stuff right now and to hold tight so we can protect for people that deliver the programming related to those other purchases,\" he said. The superintendent said the district has put purchases on hold to avoid commitments if promised federal dollars are reduced.

Programs at risk and carryover: Dr. Nye gave ballpark figures for district allocations and carryover derived from Title funding streams: professional development (\"2a\") allocations plus carryover commonly total $150,000 to $200,000; English Learner (\"3a\") with carryover was \"just under $100,000\" last year; Title 4a was in the $50,000 to $60,000 range; and the 21st Century (after-school) allocation for the Weston Connect program was about $150,000. He said carryover rules vary by grant and that the district is still clarifying exact carryover levels.

Local programming impact: Dr. Nye said the Weston Connect after-school program, funded by 21st Century dollars, has already lost its allocation: \"Those dollars were eliminated,\" he said, and the district is assessing how to respond. The superintendent emphasized the district's goal of protecting staff and core programming while it reevaluates nonessential spending.

High-cost special-education reimbursement: the district received about $128,000 in high-cost special-education reimbursement in 2023-24 and expects that amount to grow, though it remains a relatively small share of total special-education spending. Board members discussed how a higher reimbursement percentage would affect the district's year-end Fund 10-to-27 transfer and overall budget choices.

Board direction and next steps: the board did not take an immediate budget vote at the meeting. Dr. Nye said staff have been directed to pause discretionary spending and to report back when more definitive state and federal numbers are available. He asked board members to expect further updates as the district finalizes year-end figures and clarifies carryover amounts for federal grants.

Ending: Board members asked clarifying questions about carryover and the scale of the reimbursement changes. Dr. Nye said staff will continue to monitor the litigation over federal funding and will bring any programming impacts to the board for decisions.
","Superintendent Dr. Nye told the DC Everest School Board that state budget adjustments increase special-education reimbursement but uncertainty over federal Title funding and rising local costs mean the district is pausing discretionary spending and may need to reallocate reserves.","actionData","errors"]
