Board approves minutes, consent agenda, Portrait of a Graduate, teacher contracts, WISNIP membership and policy revisions; enters closed session by roll call
Summary
The board approved routine minutes and consent items, adopted the Portrait of a Graduate, approved teacher contracts and cooperative purchasing membership, completed second reading of policy revisions, and voted unanimously in a roll call to enter closed session to consider a student expulsion.
The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District board recorded several formal actions during its April 7 meeting, approving routine business items and moving into a closed session by unanimous roll call.
Minutes and consent agenda The board approved the minutes from the March 17 regular meeting and passed the consent agenda. The consent agenda included approval of bills payable, the treasurer’s report, resignation and staff appointment and retirement items, and approval of an international trip to Greece in 2026. The chair called for the motion and the consent agenda passed without opposition.
Portrait of a Graduate and personnel approvals The board voted to approve the Portrait of a Graduate, an item previously presented at the March 17 meeting. It also approved the list of teacher contracts for the 2025–26 school year; board members confirmed they had reviewed the submitted list prior to the vote.
Cooperative purchasing and policy revisions The board approved continued participation in the Wisconsin School Nutrition Purchasing Cooperative (WISNIP) for 2025–26. The board also approved the second reading of the attached policy revisions; those policies had completed first reading on March 17.
Closed session At the meeting’s end the board moved into closed session to consider a student expulsion under state statute 19.85(1)(c) and (f) (decision on a student expulsion). The motion to close passed on a roll call vote; Board President Sheila Hibner called the roll and each member voted aye: Bob Hesselbein, Bob Green, Marnie Ginsberg, Katie Frank, Bartlett Durand, Tabitha Hanson, Jim Coursey and Sheila Hibner.
Procedural notes Where the transcript recorded only the customary motion and response (“So moved,” “Second,” “All in favor, say aye”), the board did not enumerate individual named votes in the public record; the closed-session motion was recorded by roll call with each member’s name and an affirmative vote.
