School board approves Europe field trip, new Spanish heritage course and routine committee recommendations
Summary
The Sheboygan Area School District board approved a 2027 Europe field trip for the high school culinary department, a new Spanish course for heritage speakers at North High, and multiple committee recommendations (appointments, leave of absence, financial reports, gifts) by voice vote during the meeting.
Trustees approved several agenda items brought forward by committees during the Dec. 8 Sheboygan Area School District Board meeting.
A motion to approve a Europe field trip for 2027 by the high school culinary department was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote after committee presentation. The board also approved the introduction of a new Spanish course at North High for heritage speakers intended to provide academic credentials to support students’ long-term work and academic goals.
The resources committee’s recommendations — including appointments and a leave of absence — were moved and approved; separations were listed in the meeting packet for information only. The facilities, recreation and theater committee reviewed marketing materials and recommended approval of a theater company financial report. The finance and budget committee recommended approval of Fund 41 capital-project statements of cash flow and budget revisions and transfers of appropriations; gifts listed in the packet were also approved.
Most approvals were taken as voice votes with the motion-maker and a second recorded on the transcript; the chair announced "Motion carries" following the "All in favor, say aye" responses. No opposed votes were recorded in the meeting transcript on these items. The board later moved into closed session for personnel matters.
