Summary
The board approved multiple policies on food services and wellness, appointed Courtney Arntzen as compliance officer and accepted donations including $700 for Mill Valley Elementary sensory materials and a Title I grant of $86,250.
The Muskego-Norway School District Board of Education approved several policy items and personnel actions during its Aug. 11 meeting.
On a combined motion, the board approved policy 8500 (food services), policy 8510 (wellness), policy 8531 (free and reduced-price meals), policy 8540 (vending machines) and policy 8550 (competitive food sales). A superintendent representative explained that the district must use federal and state definitions for categorical eligibility, including the Migrant Education Program definition for migratory children. "They define a migrant child as one whose parent is a migratory worker in agriculture, fishing, or related processing work and who has moved within the past 36 months for seasonal or temporary work," the superintendent said, citing U.S. Department of Agriculture guidance and state MEP procedures.
The board voted to approve Courtney Arntzen as the district's new compliance officer, replacing Robin Schrodt. The motion was moved, seconded and passed on voice vote.
The board also accepted gifts, grants and bequests: $700 to Mill Valley Elementary from Shirley Knight and the EJ Salentine River Run Riders to purchase materials for a sensory room, and Title I grant funds totaling $86,250 to be used for instructional resources for students at greatest risk of not reaching proficiency benchmarks. The board approved the donations "with thanks," and the motion passed on voice vote.
Two resolution action items (items c and d on the agenda) were moved to the September board meeting, and the board adjourned after receiving routine reports and committee updates.
