Oshkosh Area School District recognizes Executive Director Drew Neehans ahead of retirement
Summary
The board publicly acknowledged Drew Neehans’ service as executive director of business services and praised his stewardship of district finances; staff and trustees discussed his role in the referendum and financial management. Neehans’ retirement effective date was stated during the meeting.
The Oshkosh Area School District board on Oct. 8 publicly recognized the forthcoming retirement of Drew Neehans, the district’s executive director of business services, and thanked him for his financial stewardship since joining the district in 2020.
The recognition matters because board members credited Neehans with work on the district’s finances and referendum communications that, they said, helped the community understand district numbers and contributed to a successful referendum outcome.
Board president and board members noted actions Neehans led, including recommending moving to self‑funding for health care, advocating district funding for playgrounds rather than relying on PTO fundraisers, work to reduce the mill rate and pay down debt, and efforts to adjust compensation where it lagged peers. "I think the greatest gift that you have given us is the ability for community members to be engaged in the process," the board president said in remarks acknowledging Neehans.
The transcript states Neehans has been with the district since 2020 and that his effective retirement date will be 07/29/2026. Board members thanked him and said they look forward to his continued work through the transition period.
No formal personnel action was recorded in the meeting minutes during the public portion of the session; the board later moved to adjourn to executive session to consider student disciplinary matters.
