Votes at a glance: board approves minutes, consent agenda, parochial boundaries and amended SRO contract; moves to closed session

The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District Board of Education took several formal votes on Sept. 29. Outcomes were announced by voice vote where recorded; the transcript does not include roll‑call vote tallies for the items below.

- Approval of minutes (Aug. 18, 2025): Motion and second recorded; chair called for the vote and the motion passed by voice vote.

- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, which included bills payable, resignations, staff appointments and retirements. A motion and second were recorded and the chair called for the voice vote; the motion passed.

- Parochial school boundaries: Administration recommended approval of the district’s annual parochial/private school attendance boundaries as required by state statute. Discussion included background on the state requirement and transportation implications; the board took a voice vote and approved the boundaries.

- Amended School Resource Officer (SRO) contract with the City of Middleton Police: The board approved an amendment to the SRO contract. The amendment, as described in the board materials, makes two changes: the City will supply three school resource officers (two assigned to Middleton High School and one assigned to serve Kromrey Middle School and the elementary schools that feed it) and section 6 was amended to add the sentence: “law enforcement will not share student records with a third party unless required or permitted by law.” Administration recommended approval and the motion passed by voice vote.

- Motion to convene in closed session: The board moved to convene in closed session citing Wisconsin Statutes §19.85(1)(c) and (f) to consider matters subject to judicial or quasi‑judicial hearings and financial/medical topics; the motion triggered a roll‑call procedure and was announced on the record.

Notes on procedures and tallies: The meeting transcript records the motions, seconds and voice outcomes but does not list individual member roll‑call votes or numeric tallies for the voice votes used on approvals earlier in the agenda. When the transcript recorded a roll call (for closed session), the roll‑call procedure was started but the transcript stops at the motion to convene.
