Board approves consent items, audit and crisis plan; holds first reading of policy IC‑5 and moves to closed session
Summary
The Middleton-Cross Plains board on Dec. 16 approved the consent agenda, accepted the 2023–24 audit, approved the annual emergency crisis plan and advanced policy IC‑5 with a first reading before moving into closed session by roll-call vote.
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District Board of Education approved several consent and business items and took a roll-call vote to enter closed session.
The board approved the minutes of the Dec. 2 regular meeting and passed the consent agenda, which the superintendent identified as including approval of bills payable, the treasurer’s report, resignations, appointments and retirements, and approval of school safety drills. The board accepted the district’s 2023–24 audit report, presented by Wipfli LLP. The board also voted to approve the district’s emergency crisis plan, an annual requirement.
On policy, the board approved the first reading of policy IC‑5 (first reading passed), and the policy committee chair reviewed proposed language changes and sought additional input before a final adoption.
Finally, the board voted to move into closed session for two items: a decision on a student-expulsion matter (state statute cited) and the superintendent evaluation. The chair conducted a roll-call vote; members recorded as voting "aye" were Bob Hesselbein, Bob Green, Marnie Ginsberg, Bartlett Durand, Catherine Kells, Tabitha Hanson, Jim Coursey and Sheila Hibner.
Ending: The formal votes moved routine business forward and closed the public portion of the meeting; board members said the closed session would address personnel and student-discipline matters.
