Board reviews facilities work, approves financials and moves levy vote; convenes closed session on personnel
Summary
Business and facilities updates noted recurring skylight and roofing issues, a warranty claim and summer maintenance work. The board approved financial reports showing total balances of $4,149,808.38, agreed to reschedule the Oct. 15 levy vote to Oct. 22, and moved to a closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c) to discuss personnel matters.
The Saint Croix School District board heard reports on summer projects and district finances at its Sept. 17 meeting, approved the monthly financial report and convened a closed session to address personnel matters.
Building supervisor Nick Yoder told the board there were no major capital projects this summer but several sustaining repairs from the referendum remain. He described recurring skylight and roofing problems at the middle and high schools, noted a warranty claim was submitted to the material manufacturer Pioneer, and said some repairs may require more extensive work or different materials. Yoder cautioned that fixes can be cyclical because of thermal expansion of roofing materials and said he will return with options and cost estimates.
Finance staff presented account balances as of Aug. 31, 2025: checking and savings accounts totaling $4,149,808.38 (Citizens State and Tang checking $4,070,195.39; money market $12,292.87; referendum account $60,920.04; other small funds as listed). Jared moved to approve the financial report; Lance seconded. The board voted in favor and the motion carried.
Board members discussed scheduling for budget and levy action. Staff said the annual levy and budget must be submitted to the state by Oct. 15 and requested the board move the Oct. 15 meeting to Oct. 22 to allow staff time to gather state‑aid figures. The board agreed to reschedule the meeting to Oct. 22 so staff can complete the levy materials.
At 8:05 p.m. the board moved into closed session, citing Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation data for public employees and to approve resignations, retirements, terminations, appointments and contract modifications. The board’s motion to convene the closed session was made and seconded and the meeting proceeded accordingly.
The district said it will return to open session at the conclusion of the closed meeting to announce any formal actions as required by law.
