The Pewaukee School District board voted to approve a set of routine but substantive items, including the district's updated crisis response plan, CTE course revisions for the 2026-27 school year and the hire of a DPI-approved special-education intern.
John, presenting the crisis response plan, told the board the document meets state statutory requirements for board approval every three years and is updated annually as needed. "We update annually and as needed basis... we made a couple of changes this year," he said, adding that some operational details (for example, reunification details) are withheld from public proceedings for security reasons.
Board members asked specifically whether the plan addresses opioid overdose response and Narcan availability. John confirmed that Narcan appears in the plan, that medical-alert teams and multiple staff are trained to administer it, and that SROs and district nurses are among those trained.
A motion to approve the crisis response plan was made, seconded and carried with the chair calling the question; the board recorded the motion as approved with one abstention noted at the vote.
Earlier in the meeting, the board also approved CTE course revisions for the 2026-27 school year after administration reported there were no outstanding questions. The consent agenda, which included minutes and correspondence and recognized a $1,500 donation to the high-school robotics team from the Generac Foundation, was approved by motion with one abstention noted.
In personnel business the board authorized hiring a special-education intern (Aliza Felzer) under a DPI internship approval that allows supervised responsibility and is billed as a lower-cost pathway to recruit for hard-to-fill positions. Administration said internships provide practically supervised classroom experience and support recruitment for future openings.
The board did not discuss any legal changes to policy during these votes; they approved the items presented and requested that members who have follow-up questions raise them outside the public meeting if they involve operational security-sensitive information.
