Board approves annual academic standards resolution and family/student handbooks for 2025-26
Summary
The board adopted the district’s annual academic standards resolution required by state statute and approved family and student handbooks for the 2025-26 school year, with no major substantive changes reported.
The School District of Fort Atkinson Board of Education on July 17 approved the district’s annual academic standards resolution and ratified the family and student handbooks for the 2025-26 school year.
The resolution states that the district will use Wisconsin standards in mathematics, science, English language arts (reading and writing), and social studies (geography and history) for the 2025-26 school year and directs administrators to provide parents and guardians notice of the board-adopted standards as required by state law.
Staff said the handbooks were updated primarily for statutory compliance, formatting and logistical clarifications; there were no substantial substantive changes this year. The district noted that start and end times for elementary schools are highlighted to make schedule changes prominent to families. The board approved the handbooks and the academic-standards resolution by voice and roll-call votes recorded as yes.
The actions fulfill state requirements cited in the board packet and ensure the handbooks will be posted on the district website and included in the board packet as approved board extensions of policy for 2025-26.
