Student representative Mikayla Becker updated the board on school activities and athletics that took place before winter break and shared upcoming events.

Becker described dress‑up days at the schools and student council activities that distributed candy to high‑school students before break. She said the high school plans a winter dance on Jan. 31, with tickets priced at $5 and all proceeds designated for the Dane County Humane Society. Becker also reported competitive results: the boys wrestling team competed at the Bi‑State Challenge in La Crosse with more than 70 teams; individual placings included a second place for Cade Splinter. The boys’ swim team placed seventh at the Verona Invitational and the relay team placed eighth. Becker closed by noting recent student performances, including a winter orchestra concert and Madrigal Singers performances at the Governor’s Residence and caroling in Madison.

Trustees asked a light‑hearted procedural question about whether board members could buy dance tickets; student representatives said they did not believe trustees should purchase tickets for students.
