Holmen School District board approves agenda and consent items; committee updates and upcoming policy review announced
Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting the board approved the published agenda and the consent agenda, heard committee reports (wellness, human growth and development, finance), and was notified that 12 finance-committee policies will be on the Feb. 24 consent agenda and that upcoming meeting dates are scheduled.
The Holmen School District Board of Education opened its Feb. 10 meeting, established a quorum with six of seven members present, and approved the published agenda and the consent agenda by voice vote.
The chair asked for changes to the agenda and a motion to approve; the motion passed by voice vote. Later the board moved and passed the consent agenda by voice vote. The meeting adjourned by motion at about 7:10 p.m.; each of those motions carried.
Board members delivered committee reports: Lindsay Mead summarized items from the state convention where delegates passed 10 resolutions on topics including a pathway to licensure for paraprofessionals, early literacy assessments for English learners, consistent standards across Wisconsin schools, early childhood education funding and public-private partnerships, staff mental health, cybersecurity and school meal debt funding. Maggie Smith reported on the wellness committee's Feb. 5 meeting, noting most of the physical activity portions of the wellness policy had been discussed and that further work would continue at an April meeting. Maggie Smith and others also reported on a human growth and development committee status update related to a recent staff-conducted health survey; staff will wait for curriculum pieces to come together before next steps.
Board President (unnamed) noted the board has received notes from the Nov. 6 wellness and Nov. 25 finance committee meetings and that the finance committee recommended 12 policies for consideration; those policies are scheduled to appear on the consent agenda at the Feb. 24 meeting.
