Summary

The board completed first readings of the 2025–26 student information booklet and multiple policy revisions and approved a motion to convene in closed session limited to individual employee contract matters under the Wisconsin statute language referenced in the motion.

The board conducted first readings of the 2025–26 Warrior student information booklet (WOW) and several policy revisions, including updates to fraud-prevention (Policy 6-65), purchasing (Policy 6-72 and its rule), electronic surveillance (Policy 731.2), food-service management (Policy 7-60) and use-of-school-facilities rules; those items will return for second/final reading at a subsequent meeting.

Separately, a motion was made and amended to limit the upcoming closed session to individual employee contract matters. The motion referenced Wisconsin statutes (transcript cites "19.851 e and 19.851 c") as the basis for moving to closed session. The motion was seconded, carried by voice vote and a roll call was conducted recording board members Phil, Kevin, Miriam, Bert, Nelly, Doug, Laurie, Don and Andrew as voting in favor.

The transcript indicates the board removed the administrator-evaluation item from the closed-session agenda at the mover’s request so that the evaluation would be handled at a later committee meeting. The meeting then proceeded toward the closed session per the recorded motion.
