The Pewaukee School District Board of Education held a productive meeting on November 25, 2024, addressing several key topics that will impact the community and its students in the coming months.

One of the highlights was the discussion surrounding upcoming board meetings and learning sessions. The board confirmed a schedule that includes a business affairs meeting on December 13, followed by a regular meeting. Notably, a special learning session on special education is set for January 21, featuring presentations from experts, including attorney Renee Aldana. This session aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of special education on all students, fostering a more inclusive environment within the district.

In addition to the learning session, the board is preparing for two meetings in February, focusing on board effectiveness and superintendent relationships. These discussions will utilize data from a school perception survey, which board members are encouraged to complete by December 9. This survey will help identify areas for improvement and guide future discussions.

The board also revisited its commitment to the Pewaukee scholarship fund, which has supported local students for over 15 years. Board members expressed their continued support for providing scholarships to deserving students, emphasizing the importance of recognizing academic and extracurricular achievements.

On the legislative front, the board noted that there were no significant updates following the recent elections, but they are anticipating the governor's budget proposal in January, which could influence future funding and priorities for the district.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's dedication to enhancing educational opportunities and support for students in the Pewaukee community. As they move forward, the board remains focused on fostering collaboration and continuous improvement within the district.
