The Muskego-Norway School Board approved a series of administrative motions at its Jan. 6 meeting, including the 2025-26 superintendent goals and the 2025-26 school board goals. The clerk moved the motions as presented and board members carried them by voice vote.

The board also approved open enrollment seats for the 2026-27 year after discussion about wait lists and fill rates; a staff member said kindergarten registration begins Feb. 2 and noted enrollment numbers are low now because registration has not started. The board approved the 2026 MHS summer academic guidebook and a revised 2026-27 board calendar, both by voice vote.

On a separate item, members considered the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) proposed resolutions for 2026 and debated whether the district's delegate should be given formal discretion to act on the board's behalf if resolutions or wording change on the floor. A board member moved an amendment to delegate discretion to the district representative so that the delegate could vote consistent with board priorities and adjust to wording changes if necessary. After discussion and a noted abstention and at least one opposition, the amended motion passed.

Later in the meeting the board voted to go into closed session under Wisconsin statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance-evaluation data of public employees, specifically retirement consideration. The board said it would return to open session to vote on any resulting resolution.

Clerk's report: the clerk reported three candidates had filed by the Jan. 6 5 p.m. deadline for the spring 2026 election ballot: Patty Morales, Jason Zemorski and Robert Bowman; the clerk said a February primary would not be necessary.

No public vote tallies with named member votes were recorded in the public portion of the transcript; motions were approved by voice vote or roll-call as noted on individual items.
