Summary

Trustees voted to adopt a resolution aligning the district with SWASA legislative priorities that call for increased state support for public education.

The Shorewood School Board on March 11 adopted a resolution urging increased state investment in public schools and supporting a set of legislative priorities advanced by the Southeastern Wisconsin Administrators (SWASA).

Board members voted to approve a resolution that the administration said mirrors the SWASA asks and will be shared with legislators and partner districts. The resolution highlights the district's request for sustained state funding, support for special education reimbursement and other priorities SWASA has identified.

Board members discussed the text briefly and confirmed the district will coordinate with neighboring districts that are advancing similar requests. The resolution was described during the meeting as "timely," given the district's ongoing budget planning and the state's biennial budget process.

The motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded on the record; the vote was taken by voice and the motion passed. The administration said it will circulate the signed resolution to legislators and SWASA.

Ending: The resolution does not create new district policy; it is a formal statement of legislative priorities the board intends to share with state lawmakers and regional partners.
