The board considered the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) delegate resolutions for the year and used a common procedural approach: a blanket instruction to vote yes on noncontested items and separate discussion for ones identified by board members.

Chair Nordin said he would vote the board’s delegate according to the group’s instructions and identified resolutions 2, 7, 10 and 11 for discussion. Dr. Farrar objected strongly to resolution 2 during the discussion and said, in the meeting record, that he found the resolution to be racist; several other board members agreed it raised concerns about racial implications and how performance should be measured. After discussion the board moved to instruct its delegate to vote no on resolution 2 (motion passed) and to vote yes on resolution 7 (motion passed under separate consideration). The board then considered resolutions 10 and 11, described by the chair as two sides of the same policy question (decoupling private‑school funding from public accounting). The board voted to instruct its delegate to vote no on resolution 10 (supporting decoupling) and to vote yes on resolution 11 (opposing decoupling and preferring public visibility and oversight of private‑school funding). The chair said he would report back to the board after the WASB assembly.

Ending: The board’s delegate will carry instructions to vote yes on the agreed set of resolutions, no on the two identified resolutions, and will report back on floor debate. No further action by the board was recorded at this meeting.
