Board accepts OE‑12 monitoring report after presentations on attendance and behavior trends
Summary
Superintendent Holmes presented the OE‑12 monitoring report, asserting district compliance across learning environment and transportation standards. Board approved the report and found the district in compliance; staff highlighted a 98% graduation rate, reduced suspensions and steps to align attendance forms with state statute.
Superintendent Holmes presented the district’s monitoring report for OE‑12 (learning environment and transportation), summarizing compliance across subsections including climate, discipline policies, accountability instruction, student information protection, transportation safety and guidance/mental health supports.
Prior to the report acceptance, high school staff reviewed attendance and behavior trends: presenters noted a district graduation rate of 98% versus a reported Wisconsin average of about 91.1%, declines in non‑attendance majors and out‑of‑school suspensions (from 94 students post‑COVID to 68 this year), and a recidivism profile with about one‑third of suspended students reoffending. Presenters flagged senior male attendance as a disproportionate share of absences and described changes to age‑of‑majority forms to align with state statute — making parents responsible for attendance until the end of the quarter in which a student turns 18.
Following discussion, Board member Macquam moved to accept the OE‑12 monitoring report as the board’s report to review; that motion and a follow‑up motion by McKillop to find the district "in compliance" were carried by voice vote. The monitoring report acceptance is recorded as the board’s formal finding of compliance with OE‑12.
No amendments or further follow‑up tasks were recorded in the transcript; staff indicated continued attention to attendance and behavior interventions.
