Board approves Washington, D.C., eighth-grade trip, vehicle donation for auto program and several consent items
Summary
The school board approved the TJMS eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., a 2004 Toyota donation to the district's automotive program valued at $2,437, and multiple consent-agenda items; two schedule-of-bills items (8.2 and 9.1) were considered and approved separately. The board also moved into closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c).
At the meeting the board took a series of formal actions. After a presentation on the TJMS eighth-grade trip, a board member moved to approve the trip to Washington, D.C., scheduled for April 23–25; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call.
On donations, administration reported three items: a $500 classroom donation to Saukville Elementary from Tom Beck/ExxonMobil of Saukville; instrument and accessory donations from the Port Washington City Band valued at about $350; and a 2004 Toyota sport-utility vehicle donated by Bethany and Chris Leintz, valued at $2,437, which requires board approval because it exceeds the district’s $1,000 acceptance threshold. A board member moved to approve the vehicle donation and the motion passed on roll call.
The board approved the consent agenda with two items pulled for separate votes (schedule-of-bills items 8.2 and 9.1). The roll-call vote to approve the consent agenda (excluding pulled items) recorded 'Aye' votes for the members called. The separate roll-call on bill 8.2 recorded Sarah as abstaining while other named members voted 'Aye'; bill 8.2 passed. The board then voted on bill 9.1 and the motion passed.
Finally, the board moved to adjourn into closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to discuss administrative and superintendent evaluations; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call.
Votes at a glance: - Consent agenda (minus pulled items): motion passed (roll call recorded ayes for members present). - Bill 8.2: motion passed (Sarah recorded as abstain; other named members recorded as 'Aye'). - Bill 9.1: motion passed. - TJMS eighth-grade Washington, D.C., trip (April 23–25): approved (roll-call 'Aye'). - Vehicle donation (2004 Toyota; value $2,437): approved (roll-call 'Aye'). - Motion to adjourn to closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c): approved (unanimous roll call 'Aye').
Why it matters: the travel approval and vehicle donation allow student opportunities (educational travel and hands-on career-technical education materials) to proceed; separate bill approvals and the consent agenda are standard governance actions that authorize routine business and payments.
