Summary

At the regular meeting the board approved the consent agenda (minutes, personnel recommendations, financial report) with six yes votes and one abstention, and unanimously approved an out‑of‑country field trip for Fond du Lac High School band March 27–April 2, 2027.

The Fond du Lac School District Board of Education approved its consent agenda and, separately, unanimously approved a proposed out‑of‑country field trip for the high‑school band.

A motion to approve the consent agenda — including the Nov. 24 regular and executive session minutes, a Dec. 1 special meeting minutes, personnel recommendations and the bimonthly financial report — was made and seconded. Roll call produced six yes votes and one abstention; the board recorded the motion as carried. One board member stated the abstention was because they had missed the Nov. 24 meeting.

The board then considered an out‑of‑state and out‑of‑country band trip for Fond du Lac High School, proposed for March 27–April 2, 2027, to Orlando and the Bahamas. Board members discussed that out‑of‑state and international travel requires board approval; a motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously.

After the field‑trip vote a board member who has chaperoned similar trips praised the opportunity, calling the experience “outstanding” and noting the value for students. The administration will complete standard trip paperwork and chaperone logistics under district policy.

Both actions were routine business items recorded in the meeting minutes; the district clerk will post the approved minutes and the administration will follow up on logistics for the band trip.
