New Berlin board approves superintendent goals, library plan and calendar change; consent agenda passes
Summary
The New Berlin School District board approved the superintendent’s 2025–26 goals, the long-range library plan for 2025–26, and a change to the 2026–27 academic calendar; the consent agenda also passed. A first reading of open-enrollment policy changes raised district funding concerns tied to special-education aid.
At its evening meeting the Board of Education of the New Berlin School District approved several agenda items including the superintendent’s 2025–26 goals, the long-range library plan for 2025–26 and a change to the 2026–27 academic calendar. The consent agenda was approved earlier in the meeting.
The board moved into and returned from a closed session earlier in the meeting. After returning to open session, Miss Spindler moved and Miss Crosby seconded a motion to approve the superintendent’s 2025–26 goals; the board approved the goals by voice vote. The board also voted to approve the long-range library plan for 2025–26 and to change one student contact day in the 2026–27 calendar to a professional learning day (Friday, March 5 will be a nonstudent day under the approved change).
The consent agenda passed by voice/hand vote after the board indicated there were no items to pull for separate consideration. The meeting opened at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned after the listed votes.
What was approved (summary): - Consent agenda: approved (routine items). - Long-range library plan, 2025–26: approved. - Academic calendar adjustment, 2026–27: approved; March 5 designated a professional learning/nonstudent day. - Superintendent’s 2025–26 goals: approved (brought from closed session).
Motions were moved and seconded on the record; where roll-call votes were used the board recorded the result as “passes” and returned to public session. The meeting concluded with reminders about future meeting dates and the winter break schedule.
