West Bend board adopts third-grade reading policy, approves consent agenda; discusses facility fees and course renaming
Summary
The board unanimously adopted a third-grade-to-fourth-grade promotion and retention policy required by Act 20, approved its consent agenda of personnel, curriculum resources and trips, and heard first readings on facility-use fee updates and fiscal-management policies.
At its May 27 meeting the West Bend Joint School District No. 1 board unanimously adopted policy 345.41 (third-grade to fourth-grade promotion and retention) to comply with state Act 20, approved a broad consent agenda covering personnel and curriculum items, and held first readings on several fiscal and facilities policies.
The board voted unanimously to adopt the Act 20 policy, which the district said will be effective beginning September 2027 as the law allows an adoption date with a later start. “This is just aligning our course name. Right now, it’s advanced algebra. We’d like to name it algebra 2,” Superintendent Julie Wimmer said in a separate discussion about course-name alignment; that renaming was recommended for placement on the consent agenda.
