Loading...
Summary
The board approved GHS SMART team travel to the ASBMB conference in Washington, D.C., and accepted retirements of two teachers (Lisa Van Heil and Joseph Woeger) effective at the end of the 2025–26 school year.
The Germantown School District board approved an overnight travel request for the Germantown High School SMART team to attend the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) conference in Washington, D.C., in March 2026. Teacher Griffin Wenzel said the team was selected to present at the undergraduate poster session and that students who presented last year became published authors; the approved travel would send up to 10 students and one advisor, and the group would miss one school day to present.
The board also approved the retirement requests of two teachers effective at the conclusion of the 2025–26 school year: Lisa Van Heil (art teacher) and Joseph Woeger (third/fourth grade teacher). Superintendent and board members thanked both educators for their service. The board voted to approve both items by voice votes.
No further action was taken at the meeting beyond the approvals and expressions of appreciation.
