Board approves field trip, calendar and personnel items; consent agenda passes
Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Pewaukee School District board approved the consent agenda (including donations to the high school robotics team), accepted the business affairs report, approved a student field trip to Puerto Rico, adopted the 2026–27 draft calendar and approved an extension of an employee leave and an early-college-credit application.
The Pewaukee School District Board of Education recorded several formal actions at the Feb. 10 meeting. Where the transcript did not record individual vote tallies, the board called for the question and the chair recorded approval by voice vote.
Key votes and outcomes (as recorded in meeting transcript):
- Consent agenda — approved. The consent agenda included approval of minutes, correspondence and gifts to Pewaukee High School robotics: $2,500 from Jerry's Automotive Service, $1,000 from Boozoo Enterprises and $2,500 from Dedicated Computing. Motion and second were recorded and the board approved by voice vote.
- Business affairs report — accepted. The board voted to accept the business affairs committee report after presentations on HR, revenues and budget-development planning.
- Field trip to Puerto Rico (June 2026, seven days) — approved. Spanish teacher Abby Varela presented details to the board and said the trip provider would be EF Education First. The transcript indicates a formal motion and second and a voice vote in favor. The presentation said 31 families had initially expressed interest; the presenter gave an itinerary description and noted meals and activities would be included. The transcript listed the trip cost as read during the meeting as "$32.75" for seven days; the board did not provide further detail at the meeting. (Transcript wording on cost appears inconsistent; specifics should be confirmed with trip materials.)
- 2026–27 draft school calendar — approved. The draft calendar adds instructional minutes (staff survey indicated 80% preference for adding minutes vs. extending the June calendar) and preserves typical breaks; the board approved the calendar by voice vote.
- Early College Credit application (summer college credit) — approved. The board approved a student application under Wisconsin dual-enrollment provisions; district staff noted reimbursement rules tied to whether the student earns high-school credit and/or college-only credit.
- Extension of employee leave — approved. The board approved an extension of a staff member’s leave through the end of the school year at the request presented (person named in personnel packet). The transcript cited a family medical event as the reason for the extension.
Procedural notes: Most votes were taken by voice (“All in favor? Aye.”). The transcript does not list roll-call tallies or individual board members’ recorded yes/no votes for these items.
Ending: The board moved on to additional agenda items and closed the meeting after announcing upcoming events and committee meetings.
