Pewaukee board approves dual‑enrollment applications, strategic plan and moves to closed session
Summary
After an initial tabling, the board approved Early College Credit and Start College Now applications for spring 2025 (four early college and 15 Start College Now applications) and adopted the district’s three‑year strategic plan; the meeting closed with a roll call to move into a closed session under state statute 19.85(1)(c).
The Pewaukee School District board took several formal actions: it approved district strategic planning documents, granted authorization for dual‑enrollment college‑credit applications and later moved into a closed session to consider personnel matters.
During new business, administration described the two programs that allow students to earn college credit: Early College Credit (grades 9–12) and Start College Now (juniors and seniors). Trustees were told there were four Early College and 15 Start College Now applications for the spring 2025 semester and that the calculated maximum cost for the cohort, including books and using the highest‑cost courses, would be $28,877.89. Board members initially expressed concern that the student application packets were not attached to the agenda and briefly tabled the item so staff could scan and share the paperwork.
Administration later reintroduced the item with a list of students and requested approvals. The board moved to approve both Early College Credit and Start College Now applications as presented; a single abstention was recorded on the final vote. Trustees asked administration to provide annual trend numbers on dual‑enrollment participation.
In earlier business, the board approved the district’s three‑year strategic plan for 2024–27 after discussion; the record shows at least one member voted in opposition during the roll call on that item.
The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session in accordance with Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion or compensation matters. The board took a roll call: Stacy, Travis, Matt, Ashley and Larry voted "Yes" and Mary voted "No."
