Summary
At its Nov. meeting the Luxemburg-Casco School District board approved the 2025–26 safety drill evaluation required by the DOJ Office of School Safety, renewed participation in Start College Now/UW Early College for spring 2025–26, created student activity accounts for PBIS and student council, and accepted a fitness-center equipment donation.
The Luxemburg-Casco School District Board of Education approved several routine but required items at its Nov. 17 meeting, including a safety-drill evaluation the district must upload to the Department of Justice Office of School Safety by Jan. 1.
Robin moved to approve the 2025–26 safety-drill evaluation and Jonathan seconded; the board voted in favor. Speaker 11 said each building completes an annual drill and the principal evaluates what went well and what should improve before the district uploads the evaluation to the Office of School Safety.
The board also approved the district’s participation in Start College Now and the UW Early College program for spring 2025–26. Jenny moved to approve the list of students seeking early-college enrollment; Alex seconded, and the motion carried. District staff reported increased student applications for the spring term.
Two student activity accounts were created to allow organized fundraising and spending: one for PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports), described by Speaker 4 as a staff-led fundraising group for student incentives, and one for the student council. Alex moved to create the PBIS account; a board member seconded and the motion passed. Jenny moved to create the student-council account and Dave seconded; that motion also passed.
The board accepted a donation from John Hahneman of fitness equipment (described in the minutes as a 'bear squat machine') for the district fitness center. Speaker 11 said the athletic trainer and staff reviewed the donation and recommended acceptance. Alex moved to accept the donation and Robin seconded; members voted to carry the motion.
No roll-call tallies with individual names were recorded in the transcript; motions were carried by voice vote. The board discussed additional information items after the votes, including strategic-planning timelines and the handling of annual meeting minutes as an information item rather than a formal approval.
