Summary

The board approved a package of routine items: a 2026 European history trip, updated HRA contributions, an additional instructional coach position, math manipulatives, staff laptops, middle-school lockers, an annual aquatic-center agreement with Langley Hospital, and the first reading of EDGAR-related policy updates.

The Unified School District of Antigo Board of Education approved several routine and operational items during the meeting.

Key approvals included: - A 2026 European history trip to Germany, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia (motion carried). The trip organizers are seeking approximately 18 participants, including chaperones; organizers described the trip as a collaborative effort among German club, choir, drama and AP European history to broaden student participation and fundraising opportunities. - Annual HRA contributions to the district’s HRA plan for eligible staff in an amount not to exceed $158,000 (motion carried). - Approval to add an instructional coach position (motion carried); administration indicated the hire is an addition to district staffing. - Purchase of additional manipulatives for the Illustrative Math program (K–5) in the amount of $13,599.56 (motion carried) and a bid award to Camera Corner for staff laptops in the amount of $33,660 for 2025–26 staff laptops (motion carried). - Approval of middle-school locker purchase (motion carried). - Approval of the annual agreement for use of the Clara R. McKenna Aquatic Center with Langley Hospital for 2025–26 (motion carried); administration described this as a routine annual agreement. - First reading of updated EDGAR (federal grant-related) policy changes (grouped policy reading) required to align with federal requirements; this was a first read and will return for a second reading as appropriate.

Why it matters: These motions cover routine operations, student experiences, curriculum resources and benefits that affect staff and students for the 2025–26 year. Several items (curriculum, staffing, HRA) affect budgets and personnel for the coming year.

Follow-up: Several items will return for further action or implementation: the EDGAR policies will proceed through required readings; staff hires and procurement items will be implemented by district departments.
