Board approves librarian contract, student trip, handbooks and several policies; moves to closed session
Summary
The board approved the library media specialist contract for Gwen Altman, a student trip to the National World War II Memorial, student and employee handbooks, student fees and multiple policies, then voted to enter a closed session for district administrator goal setting under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c).
At its meeting the Auburndale School District board approved a set of routine personnel and policy items and then convened into closed session for administrator goal setting.
Action items carried by voice votes included approval of a library media specialist contract with Gwen Altman, approval of a student trip listed on the agenda for Jordan Anderson (the motion in the record used the name John Anderson), approval of the elementary and middle/high student handbooks (a specific change to page 16 of the elementary handbook was noted), approval of the employee handbook, and approval of student fees. The board also completed a second reading and approval of the early-graduation policy (recorded as policy 345.61), and approved policy 376 (co‑curricular code) and policy 321.1 (student activities/scheduling).
A member of the meeting described the World War II Memorial trip schedule—breakout sessions, field trips including Arlington National Cemetery, and a veterans tribute—and thanked staff who organize the trip. The board expressed appreciation for recurring student opportunities the trip provides.
Before adjourning to closed session, the chair moved to convene under Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment, promotion, compensation or performance evaluation of a public employee; roll call votes were recorded in the transcript and the board entered closed session for district administrator goal setting.
Where multiple names appear inconsistently in the record (the agenda lists Jordan Anderson for the trip while the motion language used “John Anderson,” and a correspondence note referenced “Jim Farrow” and elsewhere the transcript spelled the name differently), the board record will serve as the official source to reconcile any inconsistencies; the meeting record shows motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote on the listed items.
