Tomorrow River board approves calendar, donations, student trips and policy updates
Summary
At its meeting the Tomorrow River School District board approved the 2025–26 extended-care calendar, multiple donations to arts programs, overnight student trips and second readings/adoptions of updated Neola policies for federal grant compliance. The board also voted to enter closed session on personnel matters.
The Tomorrow River School District Board of Education approved a package of routine items on its agenda, including the 2025–26 extended-care after-school calendar, several donations to arts programs, and student overnight trips.
The board unanimously approved the extended-care calendar for 2025–26, which follows last year’s schedule with the exception of an adjusted end date of Dec. 23 for the program (Chair). The board also accepted donations of $3,000 to the music department and $1,000 to the art department from David and Lisa Waldock and a $4,000 donation to the music department from Basic Machines (as transcribed). "Good for the music department," the Chair said after the vote.
Members approved two overnight student trips: the charter school’s annual astronomy overnight (grade level described in the meeting as sixth/seventh grade) and a HOSA state leadership conference trip to Wisconsin Dells; the HOSA trip approval included acknowledgement that busing could create a district cost if more students qualify. The board also approved an overnight trip for the varsity dance team to La Crosse for the state competition and a district funding request discussed at the meeting.
On policy matters, the board completed second reading and adopted revised Neola policies tied to EDGAR/UGG federal-grant compliance after a brief review by administrators who said the updates were intended to ensure compliance with federal grant rules. "It's all the grant ones," one administrator said during the review.
The meeting concluded with a motion and second to enter closed session under Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(c),(e) and (f) to discuss employment and personnel matters; a roll call vote recorded named board members voting to approve the closed session motion.
