Board approves meeting-time change and several routine items; votes at a glance
Summary
The Frederic School District board approved moving regular meetings to 5:30 p.m., accepted the annual school safety drill report and approved open-enrollment caps, educational options and athletic cooperative agreements; several motions passed by voice vote.
At its latest meeting the Frederic School District board approved a set of routine but consequential governance and operational items.
Meeting-time change: After trustees discussed family and work schedules, the board voted to move its regular meeting start time to 5:30 p.m., beginning with the February regular meeting.
School safety drill report: Administrators summarized drills held this year (evacuations, monthly fire drills and a planned tornado drill in April) and follow-up work; the board moved to approve the annual drill report and approved it by voice vote.
Open enrollment and educational options: Administration recommended open-enrollment seat caps for the 2026–27 school year and presented the district's list of educational options required for state reporting (AP/dual credit, online courses, youth apprenticeships, full- and part-time open enrollment, and courses for home-based/private students). The board approved the recommended caps and the educational-options list.
Cooperative athletics agreements: The board approved a two-year boys-hockey cooperative agreement (so students can join a regional team when the district does not field a team) and a one-year gymnastics cooperative agreement; trustees noted the host-school rotation and facility rental logistics for gymnastics.
